    摘要: A keyboard operated electronic musical instrument having a number of tone generators which are assigned to actuated keyswitches. A tone selection means is implemented comprising an autocorrelation function generator. A set of harmonic coefficients is created by means of a discrete Fourier-cosine transformation of the autocorrelation function. A computing means transforms the harmonic coefficients to musical tones. The generated musical tones are varied in tone color by selecting the shape of the autocorrelation function. A means is provided to vary the autocorrelation function in a time variant manner in response to a control signal.

    摘要: An electronic musical instrument having two keyboards is disclosed in which chords detected on the accompaniment keyboard are used to vary the selected tone color of the tones played on the solo keyboard. The solo tones are synthesized by means of a Fourier transform using a set of harmonic coefficients. Selected harmonic coefficients are scaled in magnitude in response to the chord type detected from the notes played on the accompaniment keyboard.

    摘要: In a musical instrument having a solo and accompaniment keyboard apparatus is provided whereby an accompaniment tone color is selected which adaptively complements selected solo tones. The first zero crossing spacing of the autocorrelation function for the solo tone is used to implement a tone selection logic. An effective zero crossing is computed for combinations of available accompaniment tones. An accompaniment tone combination is selected whose effective zero crossing has a maximum value that does not exceed a complemented value of the zero crossing for the selected solo tone.

    摘要: In a musical instrument having one or more tone generators in which a plurality of data words corresponding to the amplitudes of points defining the waveform of a musical tone are computed and transferred to a digital-to-analog converter to be converted into musical waveshapes, apparatus is provided for generating tones which are imitative of acoustic signals created by singing or humming. A new tone is obtained by singing into a microphone and actuating a switch. The output waveshapes are generated by implementing a Fourier transform algorithm using a set of harmonic coefficients determined by sampling and processing the signal produced by the microphone.

    摘要: A keyboard operated electronic musical instrument is disclosed for imitating the strummed and solo modes of playing plucked fretted musical instruments. The actuated keys do not directly control the set of tone generators, but are used to automatically select one of a library of chord types which is closest to the actuated keys. A root note is chosen for each selected chord type. The selected chord type is transposed to an open chord spanning the several octaves associated with a guitar-type instrument. The selected tone generators assigned to the transposed open chord are strum keyed in sequence at a rate adaptive to the speed in which successive chords are entered on the keyboard. Provision is made for up-down strumming and to automatically enter a solo tone mode when a sequence of single notes are entered on the keyboard.

    摘要: An ensemble effect is produced in a digital tone generator by providing a master data set of words having values corresponding to the relative amplitudes of equally spaced points along one cycle of a waveform of a musical tone in which the fundamental frequency is deleted. These values are read sequentially and repetitively from a memory to produce a first analog tone. A second analog tone is produced by multiplying a data set corresponding to the fundamental frequency by a low frequency sinusoid. The first and second analog tones are summed to yield a musical tone having an ensemble effect.

    摘要: A sliding formant effect is produced in a tone generator of the type in which wave shape data points are sequentially and repetitively read out of a memory at a rate corresponding to the fundamental pitch of a musical tone. The formant effect is obtained by forming the sums or differences between consecutive data points for one waveshape period and storing the new data in memory in response to a formant control signal. Provision is made for advancing or retarding the effective formant cut-off frequency under command of the formant control signal.

    摘要: A keyboard operated musical instrument with portamento effect in which the portamento keyboard consists of a linear array of keyswitches. The keyswitches are arranged in groups corresponding to each musical note and spaced so that a number of contiguous switches are actuated by each finger in contact with the portamento keyboard. Apparatus is provided for generating a frequency number corresponding to the closest switch actuated by the center of each finger thereby providing polyphonic portamento effects as the finger positions are slid or changed along the portamento keyboard. The frequency numbers are utilized to control the pitches of tones generated by the musical instrument.

    摘要: In an electrical keyboard musical instrument apparatus is provided for automatically selecting one of a library of chord types which is closest to a chord played on the instrument. The closest decision is made by processing the actuated keyswitch data by a set of matched filters each of which corresponds to a member of the library of chord types. The chord type decision is made to correspond to the matched filter producing the maximum output response. The selection between chord types yielding equal responses is resolved by priority logic based upon the frequency of chord usage. A root note is chosen for each selected chord type.
