Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005048238
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electronic tone generation system (10) including a plurality of separate, portable, handheld transmitters, or batons (12), that are provided as "instruments" to numerous players to form a choir. Each baton (12) is activated by one of the players to send a signal, preferably a wireless signal, to a single receiver which produces an output signal fed to a tone generator, preferably a MIDI tone generator, which produces audible sounds via an amplifier and speakers. For example, the batons (12) can correspond to different musical notes as played by a selected musical instrument and the batons (12) can be played in concert by the choir to produce a musical or other audible presentation. Alternatively, selected batons (12) can be designated to play in one voice, while others batons (12) are set to play other voices.
