Abstract
An apparatus for making music includes a cymbal, an acoustic transducer, a signal-processing system that receives a first signal from the acoustic transducer and that generates a second signal based on a property of the first signal, and a classifier that determines a particular manner in which the cymbal was struck based on the second signal, and provides an output trigger signal for triggering production of a sound that consistent with the particular manner.
