摘要:
An audio amplifier assembly employs transistors which are subject to substantial heating, and which are mounted on heat sinks situated on the cabinet of the device, there being air passages leading from the speaker cavity within the cabinet directly to such transistors so that the speaker cone serves as a pump for cooling air that passes across such transistors.

An electronic rhythm device including a clock generator of adjustable frequency, controls for the clock generator to produce evenly or unevenly spaced output signals, a ring counter driven by the clock generator and having controls to bypass some of the stages of the ring counter, a plurality of sound generator circuits, connecting means comprising a plurality of resistor matrices connected between the outputs of the ring counter and the outputs of the clock generator and the inputs of the sound generators, and an automatic follow circuit to control the clock generator rate and an alternative automatic follow circuit.
摘要:
An electrical musical instrument includes a series of tone signal sources under the control of upper manual, lower manual and bass pedal key switches operatively connected to an output system. A further keying circuit includes further keyswitch means under the control of the lower manual which selectively operate a current-mode logic network which in turn drives an audio gating means connected through a single bus to the output system. A rhythm pattern generator has one output that keys said bus and a further output that controls enabling circuit means, namely a two-phase driver portion thereof that alternately energizes two current source portions which are respectively connected to the current-mode logic network whereby bass notes corresponding to the lowest and the highest keys depressed on the lower manual are reproduced by the output system in accordance with the rhythm pattern.
摘要:
A plurality of tone generators respectively provide a fundamental frequency and even harmonics of the fundamental frequency to a first signal translating circuit of a musical instrument. The musical 12th or third harmonic, of the fundamental frequency is fed to a second transistor circuit which is interconnected with and shares a common output with the first transistor circuit so that the harmonics of the fundamental frequency beat with the added 12th signal component to obtain an animated effect, which simulates a nominally in-tune pair of vibrating strings. Simultaneous energization of the transistor circuits is provided by a control circuit which is responsive to a direct current keying voltage to render the transistor circuits operative to provide a percussive output envelope, and responsive to an alternating keying voltage to render the transistor circuits operative to provide a sustained output envelope.
摘要:
An electronic musical instrument is provided with a DC current switching circuit for controlling gates that are disposed between various sources of AC potential of audio signal frequency and conventional voicing circuits and signal-to-sound converting means. The switching circuit is under the control of key switches, voice tab switches, preset voice switches, percussion switches, and repeat switches respectively associated with appropriate circuitry to provide one composite DC keying circuit.
摘要:
A BRIDGE, SUCH AS FOR A GUITAR, INCLUDES A RIGID BASE THAT HAS AN ELONGATED RECESS IN WHICH THERE IS SLIDABLY SUPPORTED A SADDLE WHICH SUPPORTS THE GUITAR STRINGS. AS THE SADDLE IS ADJUSTED VERTICALLY, IT IS GUIDED BY A GUIDE SURFACE WITHIN THE RECESS TO PRECLUDE ANY ROCKING OR COCKING.
