    摘要: An electronic musical instrument is of a time-shared digital processing type and capable of producing musical tones for a special performance. There are provided, at suitable time intervals, time periods in which no key code of a depressed key is produced by a key coder. During these time periods, a signal designating a special performance is generated. In a channel assignment circuit which assigns key codes of depressed keys to plural tone production channels there is provided a channel for an exclusive use for the special performance. A circuit for assigning data for the special performance transmits the data to the channel assignment circuit in response to the special performance designation signal from the key coder so that the data selected from among the key data already assigned to the tone production channels for ordinary performance are sequentially assigned to the channel allotted exclusively for the special performance. As an example of the special performance, description is made with respect to an automatic arpeggio performance in which tones are produced at designated orders of location from the lowest tone among the tones of the depressed keys.

    摘要: A tone production assignment circuit produces control information representing assigned key code, key-on etc. Such information has a large number of bits with respect to each channel. A multiplexing circuit has output lines the number of which is smaller than the bit number of the information and divides the information with a plurality of time slots with respect to one channel. The multiplexing circuit is controlled by a signal from a timing signal generation circuit. The multiplexing circuit is capable of rearranging information for transmitting information required for the respective individual channels and also capable of inserting a timing data in an available time slot. A multiple data analysis circuit decodes the information provided by the multiplexing circuit. Tone generators are provided for the respective channels and each one of them functions to latch only corresponding information among the decoded information by a latch circuit.

    摘要: An electronic musical instrument having a channel processor. The channel processor includes a tone production assignment circuit and an automatic arpeggio circuit. The tone production assignment circuit includes a key code memory circuit of a plurality of channels and an assignment control unit. A specific channel among the channels is used exclusively for the automatic arpeggio performance while the other channels are used for ordinary respective tone production corresponding to depressed keys by an ordinary key assignment operation responsive to depression of the keys. The automatic arpeggio circuit produces key codes one after another for the automatic arpeggio channel in accordance with the key codes already assigned to the respective ordinary channels and with arpeggio constituent orders in a sounding pattern. The arpeggio sounding pattern which is selected in response to a rhythm to be played contains binary data representing the arpeggio constituent orders. The arpeggio constituent orders herein mean the orders of the locations of the notes constituting the arpeggio alignment, the order being counted from the lowest one of the depressed keys in a predetermined keyboard range.

    摘要: A digital oscillator generates a basic pulse having a period which is a predetermined large number of times of a clock pulse period. During the basic pulse period are allotted a predetermined small number of time slots defining submultiple frequency channels. There is provided a shift register having the channel number of stages, each stage being assigned to each channel. The contents of the respective stages are changed at respectively different periods which are multiples of the basic pulse period. The contents are taken out timewise-serially, one at a time, stage by stage, and superimposed on the basic pulse to constitute a time-division-multiplexed wave data signal. The delivered signal is demultiplexed to form individual waves having respectively different frequencies which are submultiple-related to the frequency of the basic pulse. This generator is very suitable for electronic musical instruments, as a single line transmits plural wave data.

    摘要: Key switches are connected in a matrix fashion between row lines making block lines for octaves and column lines making note lines for notes. The note lines are connected to a note detection circuit which converts the note line outputs of the actuated switches into key codes in a time shared fashion and to a chord detection circuit which includes a chord type detecting logic and a shift register connected thereto and storing the note line outputs in its respective stages. During a chord detecting period, the note detection circuit is loaded with signals "1" as if all the key switches were actuated and delivers key codes of all notes one after another, whereas the shift register is circulatingly shifted synchronously with the note code change. When the logic detects an establishment of a chord, the note code of that moment is extracted to be a code identifying the root note of the chord. The root note code is then processed for automatic bass and chord performance.

    摘要: An electronic musical instrument of a key code processing type includes a single tone generating section for producing a solo performance effect without providing a solo performance keyboard. This single tone generating section comprises a single data selection circuit which selects the highest (or lowest) note from among notes of depressed keys for producing a single musical tone. The single data selection circuit includes first and second memories and a comparison circuit. An input key code A is compared with a key code X stored in the second memory and the input key code A is stored in the first memory if the value of the input key code A is greater than the value of the key code X. When one cycle of the above described comparison has been completed, the data stored in the second memory is rewritten with the data of the first memory. The key code for the highest note is now stored in the second memory to designate a tone signal to be produced for a solo performance.
