Abstract
An electronic musical instrument is tonally controlled by the configuration of a user's mouth and lips. The present invention uses a generated frequency signal to excite a first frequency signal from the user's mouth and lips. The present invention then adjusts the generated frequency signal using a phase-locked loop controller to achieve a close match to the natural frequency of the user's mouth and lips. The generated frequency signal is then played back after processing.
