| | History of Electronic Instruments and Film |
| | Instead of recordings of actual music sound, recordings will carry the brainwaves of the composer directly to the mind of the listener (qtd in Blom). | | | But if Cahill's dream of piping music into theaters across the country was in part confounded by noise in the telephony network, it was a similar technological obstacle that played a part in the music that accompanied early films. | | | In 1917, he designed the prototype of the theremin (or thereminvox), an instrument that allowed the musician to modulate an electronic tone (fixed to resemble a violin) by moving her hands in proximity to two antennae (one for pitch, one for volume). |

| | * "Musical Instrument." You already know what that is. MIDI was designed for use in playing music. | | | If you ask just about anyone who owns an electronic musical instrument that was made since 1984 or so, the answer you'll get is likely to be, "It's those plugs on the back." And that answer is right, as far as it goes. | | | For example, there are some messages that pertain to the synchronization of MIDI recording and playback equipment that do not apply to instruments without those functions. |

| | However, Casio admitted that this may be a musical instrument feature because it is similar in nature to a music box, which was specifically designated a musical instrument by Congress. | | | Inasmuch as the imported articles contained substantial non- musical instrument functions and features, Casio claimed, the articles were "more than" electronic musical instruments and could not be classified as such. | | | The trial court concluded that the Casio synthesizers were not "more than" electronic musical instruments, finding that "[t]he primary design and function of the features at issue appear to become part of and enhance the musical instruments in which they are found. |
