摘要:
System for sounding two organ voices and/or footages reiteratively in alternation. Several embodiments are provided as follows: 1. Tone is applied via a key switch to two tone color filters in parallel and outputs of the filters are applied in alternation to a loudspeaker or to separate loudspeakers. 2. Two footages are applied to distinct tone color filters and the outputs of these applied reiteratively in alternation to a loudspeaker or to separate loudspeakers. 3. Two footages of the same tone color are applied reiteratively in alternation to a loudspeaker or to separate loudspeakers. 4. Three or more tones are applied in sequence via different tone color filters to a loudspeaker. 5. Solo tones proceed via one tone filter so long as pedal notes are not called for. When pedal note is played solo tone proceeds via a different tone filter.

The system provides a conventional electronic organ with automatic chord accompaniment and/or an automatic rhythm system. Playing of only one note in a selected octave of the lower manual produces proper distribution between pedal and manual root, third and fifth parts of a chord in any one of five rhythms with rhythm percussive effects if desired. The pedal and/or manual notes may be rhythmically pulsed or selectively converted to continuous mode. A touch bar is provided to convert from major to minor chords. Playing of two notes defeats the chord accompaniment. Playing of three notes causes the organ to revert to conventional operation. Playing of a single note always produces a downbeat.

An array of tone signal sources is connectable to a common collector via key switches. The common collector leads to parallel percussive gating paths, normally nonconductive, which are turned on simultaneously in response to depression of any key regardless of the condition of other keys, and which become nonconductive gradually at diverse rates following the depression whether or not the key is released.

The present system provides an automatic chord accompaniment and/or an automatic rhythm system, actuation of only one left hand operated key producing proper distribution of root, third, fifth and seventh parts of a chord and root and fifth parts of a bass line. The bass and/or chord notes may be automatically rhythmically pulsed or selectively converted to a continuous mode, while the chord notes may be rhythmically pulsed to simultaneously sound different accompaniment instruments, such as guitar, piano, banjo, etc., at different rhythmic intervals, a touch bar being provided to select a minor chord when desired. A set of musical key selector buttons is provided which automatically provides seventh chords in correct positions for a given key selection. One or more accompaniment instruments may play different rhythmic sequences when seventh chords are sounded, while actuation of two or more keys, simultaneously, defeats the chord and bass accompaniment.
摘要:
A self-biasing percussive gate for an electronic organ including a relatively small capacitor C1 in series with a continuously connected tone signal source which provides positive signal pulse trains of selective frequencies, in response to playing of the organ, the small capacitor C1 being connected in a shunt path to ground which contains a first diode and a large capacitor C2, the first diode being poled to conduct in response to positive signal. The anode of the first diode is connected to the cathode of a gating diode, the anode of which is connected to a load circuit. A timing circuit is provided between the source and the small capacitor to smooth and control voltage changes during each pulse. Means are provided for momentarily short circuiting the large capacitor, as each tone is called for by the player, an action which initiates the percussive tones. Each tone persists for a time which is inversely proportional to the frequency of that tone signal, and has a progressive modification of tone color in proceeding from its initial to its final points. Tone color is also a function of frequency.
