This invention relates to a multimedia instrument simulation device and methods. The device is connected to a multimedia keyboard or computer and comprises several playing elements that simulate the playing of musical instruments. In conjunction with one signal acquisition element, the playing elements individually perform plucking, pressing, or striking actions, while retrieving the corresponding linearly varying analog signal. After conversion and processing in one signal pickup circuit, the signals are directly transmitted to a multimedia keyboard or sent to a PC for further simulation and processing via an interface circuit. After comparing the instrument playing digital data retrieved and converted by the aforementioned simulation device with the standard sound length, tone, and volume of the same instruments stored in a PC, the identical sound length, tone, and volume instrument playing sound effects data is outputted to playing equipment for playing. This process provides real-time simulated output of sound effects identical to the actual sound length, tone, and volume of playing elements.
