Abstract (en)

A novel capacitive pressure-sensitive sensing technique and apparatus wherein an elastomeric conductive electrode (1) carrying a two-dimensional array of projections (1') is pressure-deformed against a fixed coextensive cooperative electrode (3) to generate signals, such as tones and sounds in the application to musical instruments, or visual representations, corresponding to the dynamic pressures applied over the two-dimensional surface. A novel drum-like and other musical instruments embodying such novel capacitive sensing techniques and the like.
