<p>The invention provides a music controller, in the form of a bowing sensor. The music controller comprises a musical bow member (4) movable over a guide (2). Associated with the guide (2) is at least one optical flow sensor (6) for monitoring the speed and/or angle of the musical bow member (4) when it is moved longitudinally in contact with the guide, and optionally a pressure sensor (14) for monitoring the pressure of the bow member on the guide. That monitored data, combined with input from a keyboard or ribbon controller (16) enables an attached sound generating device (12) to generate sound that emulates the sound of a real bowed performance or other desired output.</p> |
