  2. Main Features • Digitize Input • Capture and repeat an input signal • Add echo to a live input or loop • Add tremolo to live input of loop

  3. Similar Patents Effect System (Patent No. 7259316) • An effect system stored a specified segment of an audio signal and repeats the segment during a specified interval. • The segment length may be defined in advance as a musical time interval and the interval in which it is repeated may be defined in advance as a musical time interval or as a number of repetitions. • The beginning of the segment may be defined in advance as a location in musical time within the audio signal, or may be indicated manually during performance.

  4. Similar Patents • Similarities • Stores a segment of audio and repeats the segment • Length of segment and interval between repetition are defined in advance • Beginning of segment is defined manually during performance • Difference • Cannot define beginning of segment as a location in time • Different algorithm for function

  5. Infringement? • Doctrine of Equivalents • Substantially the same function performed in substantially the same way • Prior Art • Patented 4/2/2004 • Based on prior art using this loop function the patent is valid in our case

  6. Additional Patents • Very hard to find patents on systems for creating effects
