    摘要: A multiplier for multiplying a fixed point multiplicand by a floating point multiplier utilizes decode logic which provides control signals related to two numbers, the sum of which is approximately equal to the mantissa of the multiplier. The multiplicand is separately left shifted in two circuits, responsive to the control signals, by a number of places respectively corresponding to the values of said two numbers. The shift circuit outputs are summed algebraically in an adder. The sum is then shifted by a number of places and in a direction determined respectively by the magnitude and sign of the power of the floating point multiplier. The result is a close approximation of the desired multiplication product. The multiplier advantageously is employed in an electronic musical instrument.

    摘要: An electronic musical instrument capable of producing a large number of harmonic contents with a small number of calculation circuits. A composite wave consisting of plural harmonics can be mathematically expressed as a multiplication of a factor including an order number of a harmonic and a factor or factors not including an order number of a harmonic. The instrument according to the invention utilizes this principle and produces a composite wave by first obtaining these two kinds of factors individually and thereafter multiplying them together.An example of the invention capable of calculating four harmonics simultaneously and another example capable of calculating two harmonics simultaneously are described.

    摘要: In a computor organ, musical tones are generated by separately evaluating the constituent Fourier components of a musical waveshape and summing these to obtain the waveshape sample point amplitudes. The relative amplitude contribution of each Fourier component is established by a harmonic coefficient. In accordance with the present invention, pulse-type tone generation is simulated by using harmonic coefficient values associated with the frequency spectrum of a pulse train of particular pulse shape. For example, the coefficients may be given by the Fourier transform associated with repetitive pulses.To simulate pulse width modulation effects, a set of such coefficients is stored in a memory, the set having more coefficients than the maximum number of Fourier components included in each amplitude computation. Pulse trains of different pulse width are simulated by utilizing different subsets of the stored coefficients in the amplitude computation. Pulse width modulation tonal effects are achieved by changing the selected subsets as a function of time.

    摘要: Formant filtering is implemented in a computor organ of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,809,786 by eliminating, attenuating or accentuating certain Fourier components included in each waveshape amplitude computation. A set of formant filter factors define the formant filter passband as a function of frequency, logarithmic frequency or Fourier component order. As each constituent Fourier component is independently evaluated, the component amplitude is scaled by the appropriate formant filter factor. The resultant synthesized musical tone includes only Fourier components within the defined passband, so that formant filtering effectively is implemented without the use of an actual filter.

    摘要: Parallel processing is used in a computor organ of the type wherein musical notes are produced by computing at regular time intervals the amplitudes at successive points of a musical waveshape, and converting the amplitudes to tones as the computations are carried out. Each amplitude is evaluated by concurrently calculating in parallel channels different subsets of the Fourier components for the same point, then combining the components to obtain the waveshape amplitude. In a typical embodiment, low order harmonic components are calculated in one channel and high order harmonics in another channel; in another embodiment, odd and even harmonics are calculated in separate, parallel channels. A recirculating shift register, shifted in unison with successive component calculations, advantageously stores the harmonic coefficients used in the amplitude calculations.

The signal processing apparatus is provided, which can implement plural sorts of FIR filter algorithms of filter order which can be changed flexibly.

    摘要: A method for the synthetic generation of a digital audio signal by means of periodic sampling of a waveform shall permit the user a particularly simple and intuitive access to the changing and creative transformation of the waveform on which the sampling is based. For this purpose, according to the invention, the waveform is specified by using control points, which, in addition to position parameters, may contain further attributes, of which the parameters and attributes can be changed individually over time by means of control signals or spontaneouseous intervention. The control-point values which result in this way can be interpreted either as direct amplitude-period phase or as magnitude-frequency or phase-frequency pairs. A continuous waveform is generated by interpolation or approximation of the control points and the parameters/attributes of the latter, which assume a time-specific value depending on the current control signals and other influences, and is used for further processing, e.g. spectral band limiting.
