Motion Controlled Guitar Effects Technology
Motion-Controlled Effects
The Hot Hand™ system is a patent pending technology that uses micro-machined motion sensors to translate movement and position into control signals for use in guitar effects. The system provides an unprecedented level of control and expressiveness and offers the artist a new way of manipulating effects. This technical paper describes the details of the Hot Hand™ system.
SA601 Chip
While the micro-machined motion sensing technology used in Hot Hand™ does the job of monitoring the artist’s gestures, it is the SA601 chip that performs the equally important job of complex signal processing within the main control box. Co-developed with Analog Devices, Inc., this proprietary chip uses state of the art system-on-chip semiconductor circuit design techniques and continuous time data conversion technology. This technical paper provides more background and details of this chip.
Digital Signal Processing
Good sounding DSP code – science, art, or black magic? This paper looks at some of the issues involved in implementing audio effects that sound great and respond well to control
