    摘要: Waveform data stored in an external memory are transferred from the external memory to an internal waveform memory and read out from the waveform memory to reproduce a tone. Transfer instruction is generated each time data readout from the waveform memory progresses by one page, and the transfer instruction is registered into a transfer queue. Thus, in response to the transfer instruction from the queue, the waveform data are read out on page by page from the external memory and stored into the waveform memory. The external memory also stores therein error correction code attached per page. As the waveform data are transferred from the external memory to the waveform memory, an error is detected using the error correction code, and if the error is correctable, the error is corrected. If the error is uncorrectable, volume of a tone being generated is rapidly attenuated, or a warning is issued.

    摘要: In response to detection of a note-on instruction, a CPU assigns a tone generating unit comprising two tone generating channels and sets tone color control data of the assigned tone generating unit into tone generator registers. The tone color control data includes a parameter common to the two channels. Once the CPU gives a tone generation start instruction to a tone generator, the tone generator accumulates a frequency number common to the two channels to thereby generate a progressive phase common to the two channels. Waveform readout section reads out left-channel and right-channel waveform data from a waveform memory on the basis of the phase and waveform selecting information of the left and right channels. Tone characteristics of the read-out left- and right-channel waveform data are controlled by a characteristic control section on the basis of a characteristic control parameter common to the two channels.

    摘要: The present invention relates to economically fabricated means for the generation and processing, member selection, and acoustic radiation of pluralities of individual tone currents originating from at least one high frequency source and formed by note-information temporarily transferred through key depression, from permanent electronic memories to temporary memories in small numbers of standard tone units, in precise duplication of properties of pipe organ sound. There is described an electronic transfer organ for duplicating twenty-six known properties of pipe organ sound. The illustrative, inventive instrument employs completely standardized circuitry except for automatically programmable memories for each organ voice, which contain all the information required to form, switch and variously decouple all the notes in that voice. When keyboard keys are depressed, the information for corresponding notes is transferred to temporary memories in small numbers of tone units which then generate and switch the individual notes, without recourse to separate and permanent individual circuitry for each note. Dynamic keyers duplicate the keying effects of tracker action pipe organs. Sigmoid switches impart individualized tonal attack and decay patterns which preserve smooth keying at all speeds. All tone frequencies, derived ultimately from at least one high frequency source, are randomly independent in phase, and remain permanently in the various degrees of optimal mistune which characterize organ pipes in good tune. A four-channel sound system implements the effects of the tone frequency decouplings, and of a plurality of multiresonant filter sets, which together duplicate the collective sound of organ pipes distributed in various arrays within pipe enclosures. Construction is modular by keyboard and associated elements. Keyboard modules are subject to intercoupling by electronic or other means, and to augmentation by various devices in the prior art which effect expressive playing and moderate and musical fluctuations of tones, which are characteristic of organ pipe sound.

    摘要: A musical sound generation device including a first memory having a plurality of waveform data, a second memory which stores waveform data read out from the first memory, and a control processor which controls such that, when a sound emission instruction is provided and specified waveform data is in the second memory, the waveform data is read out by the sound source processor, or controls such that, when a sound emission instruction is provided and specified waveform data is not in the second memory, the specified waveform data is transferred from the first memory to the second memory and read out by the sound source processor, in which the control processor controls such that waveform data satisfying a set condition is not subjected to a waveform data change by the transfer and waveform data not satisfying the set condition is subjected to the waveform data change by the transfer.
