Abstract
A microphone is provided with sensors to detect pitch and roll of the microphone and pressure applied to the microphone. The sensor signals are mapped by control circuitry to control desired effects such as reverberation, vibrato and tremolo to be applied to the audio signal from the microphone or to control effects or other parameters such as volume and tempo in an accompaniment musical instrument. Both the effect to be imparted and the degree of the effect can be controlled based upon signals from the sensors.
