摘要:
An electric guitar is coupled through one channel of a stereo amplifier to a corresponding speaker in conventional manner while separate means responsive to string movements and pedal controls produce an organ like sound amplified in the other channel and reproduced in another speaker.
摘要:
An electronic guitar comprising a case (1), a keyboard (2), a sound synthesis electronic assembly (3), and an output line (4), characterized in that the keyboard (2) is divided into an upper keyboard (2-1) disposed on the neck (1-1) and a lower keyboard (2-2) disposed on the body (1-2); the upper and lower keyboards constitute a complex array; when a key on the upper keyboard and a key on the lower keyboard are pressed, a predetermined note is generated by the sound synthesis electronic assembly (3) and can be output to a karaoke CD player. It is possible to play this guitar while singing the karaoke, which is more pleasant. This guitar has novel and simple structure and is sure to be welcome.
摘要:
An electronic stringed instrument which simulates an acoustic counterpart, such as a guitar, in the aspect of string arrangement. The strings on the novel electronic instrument are actually depressed and picked in a manner similar to playing the acoustic counterpart to sound musical tones. The strings form partial circuits conducting signals to a conventional musical tone synthesizer. The pick completes the circuit for each tone, having a flexible conductor electrically joining the pick to each circuit. A complete signalling circuit for each tone is closed when the string is contacted by the pick, and when the string simultaneously contacts an electrically conductive terminal forming part of the circuit. Contact of the string is achieved either by depressing the string or by leaving the string undisturbed. In each instance, a signal will sound a tone corresponding to that which would ensue if the same actions were taken on the acoustic counterpart.
摘要:
A detecting device for detecting the positions where strings are operated, and an electronic musical instrument using the detecting device, such as an electronic stringed instrument of an electronic keyboard instrument. Wherein each of frets, with which conductive strings are brought into contact, is formed of a two-layer structure of a conductive member and a resistance member provided on the conductive member. Voltage pulses are sequentially applied to either the conductive strings or the conductive members of the frets and a voltage pulse is detected from a conductive member or a string, thus detecting a position in which a string is stopped against the fret.
摘要:
In a guitar or the like where fretting is detected by ultrasonic signals emitted by a transducer bridge and reflected at a point of each string held against a fret, and the same transducer bridge is responsive to audible frequency string vibration induced by a player, a damper bridge selectively dampens propagation of lower frequency vibrations from a note triggering string section adjacent to the bridge to a note selecting string section extending over the fretted neck, thereby minimizing intereference between fret detection and note triggering functions using a single set of string and a single acoustic transducer for each string.
摘要:
A plurality of strings are extended along a surface of a body, and an operation by a player with respect to the strings is detected by two detection systems. The first detection system is operated when a string vibration is started, and electrically obtains an operated fret position of the string by detecting an ON/OFF operation of a switch arranged below each fret. The second detection system is enabled after the first detection system is enabled, and directly measures a pitch period of the string vibration. The second detection system detects a change in pitch by a choking operation or an arming operation of a tremolo arm with respect to the string after tone generation is started.
摘要:
Root and type of a chord are discriminated at discriminators in accordance with the operation status on a fingerboard. The chord is designated according to a simplified fingering rule predetermined on the fingerboard so as to designate the chord. An automatic accompaniment or a manual play is performed according to the discriminated chord obtained at chord discriminating device.
摘要:
An electronic stringed instrument includes a mode selecting section for selectively setting a normal play mode and at least one other selection mode. When picking of a string under a pitch designation operation status is performed after the normal play mode is selected by the mode selecting section, generation of a musical tone with the designated pitch can be started. When picking of a string also under the pitch designation operation status is performed after another selection mode is selected by the mode selecting section, a desired musical tone parameter such as a timbre corresponding to the designated pitch or a rhythm pattern can be easily set. The content of the set musical tone parameter can be confirmed by a sound.
