touch

Bin mir nicht sicher, ob "Griff" hier stimmt; "Sensorfeld" paßt eigentlich nicht zur festen Art eines Griffs. Wenn tatsächlich die Tonsteuerung durch Berührung (ohne zugreifen) erfolgt, wäre "touch" m.E. hier ausreichend.

Danke.
agree Ken Cox : could be -- as noted in my answer, the drawings (or other additional context) would be useful and may be necessary to pin down the exact meaning

handle with button

I think it is a handle with a button on it (to be pressed)

grasp/grasping

It sounds like the device has an extended sensor area that the user can hold in a sliding grasp and vary the pitch by sliding their hand along the sensor area (the 'full-hand' version of a touchpad).

As usual with patents, you're working blindfolded if you don't have the drawings.

Reference:

Since the text seems to deal with a gesture-controlled (musical) instrument, I assume that "Tastgriff" here means something like "by hitting several/a pattern of keys on ....", like playing a chord on a piano, IMO it has nothing to do with a grip or handle or button

seems to be something like Nintendo's Wii for playing/recording music controlled by gestures
