US Patent 9495947 Synthesized percussion pedal and docking station

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus configured to enable a user to easily change between different midi or audio sequences in any order the user prefers, rather than limiting the user to a pre-determined sequence. Additionally, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus configured with recording and looping functions. The recording and looping functions may be configured to sync the recorded and looped multi-media content to the percussion sequences. Still consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure, the apparatus may be designed and configured to enable a mobile computing device to be used as, for example, an information display, a control mechanism, a processing unit and memory storage.
