在本文中，我们提出了一种基于 whammy bar 作为用户界面的新型电吉他数字效果控制器。该项目的目标是为吉他手提供一种与他们的乐器和演奏风格熟悉的动态效果控制进行交互的方式。 3D 打印原型已经制作完成。它用配备传感器的打击杆取代了传统 Fender 颤音系统的打击杆。本原型的功能包括单独读取向吉他主体施加的力和从吉他主体施加的力，以及用于可变控制的末端旋钮。进一步的功能包括铰接系统，允许在有或没有琴弦张力的机械操纵的情况下进行数字效果控制。通过将数字传感器集成到惯用的 whammy bar 界面中，吉他手可能会与设备产生高度的控制亲密感，从而与效果器进行更密切的交互。
In this paper we present a novel digital effects controller for electric guitar based upon the whammy bar as a user interface. The goal with the project is to give guitarists a way to interact with dynamic effects control that feels familiar to their instrument and playing style. A 3D-printed prototype has been made. It replaces the whammy bar of a traditional Fender vibrato system with a sensor-equipped whammy bar. The functionality of the present prototype includes separate readings of force applied towards and from the guitar body, as well as an end knob for variable control. Further functionality includes a hinged system allowing for digital effect control either with or without the mechanical manipulation of string tension. By incorporating digital sensors to the idiomatic whammy bar interface, one would potentially bring guitarists a high level of control intimacy with the device, and thus lead to a closer interaction with effects.
