    摘要: Using stored discrete samplers of filter coefficients at each of a plurality of discrete operating points, a filter control (e.g., CPU) provides dynamic control of a digital filter through an interpolator in accordance with a variable input indicative of a desired operating point (e.g., cutoff frequency) of the digital filter. In response to a large change in the desired operating point, the control produces a succession of operating point subgoals progressively approaching the changed desired operating point and a corresponding succession of filter coefficient subgoals. Each filter coefficient subgoal is calculated as a function of stored discrete filter coefficient samples near each operating point subgoal. In response to a new parameter set from the filter control, containing a new subgoal of the coefficients, the interpolator starts coefficient interpolating to smoothly move the operating point of the digital filter toward the new subgoal. By starting the interpolating operations after the updating of the parameter set has been completed, synchronization may be established among the interpolating operations on the coefficients.

    摘要: In a signal processing apparatus which stores a program inside, and performs a series of processes on a received signal according to the program, such as an arithmetic operation or a delay process, and outputs the processed signal, for rewriting the program in order to change the contents of the processing. Program data is prevented from being output in synchronism with a sampling clock generated at the timing of an input signal. This design can minimize noise occurring due to a change in the algorithm of the signal processing during signal processing. Further, in the case where a program for a separate signal processing circuit is rewritten in response to an instruction that is given from outside at an arbitrary timing, noise can also be minimized by proceeding with the rewriting in synchronism with a sampling clock.

    摘要: An electronic keyboard instrument has a plurality of key displacement sensors disposed in relation to respective keys of a keyboard. Each sensor detects a continuously variable key displacement induced by the key operation to provide an analog signal indicative of the displacement. An analog-to-digital converter digitizes the analog signal at a predetermined sampling rate to derive a stream of digital samples of key displacement. A control, which operates based on a predetermined tone control algorithm receives and analyzes the stream of digital samples. According to the analysis, tone parameters such as envelope and vibrato are produced for controlling the characteristics of a tone, so that a tone having a very dynamic key touch response is developed. In a preferred embodiment, there are provided a plurality of tone control algorithms adapted to process the stream of key displacement samples in manners different from one another. A manually operative selector selects the desired one of the algorithms to be used by the control during the play of the instrument. "

    摘要: When a plurality of effects are simultaneously applied to an input audio signal, a plurality of effect-algorithms each for applying solely an effect to the input signal are stored in a memory, and a plurality of combination-algorithms or combination-data which represent combinations of the effects and orders in which effects are applied to the input audio signal are stored in the memory. When one of the combination-algorithms or the combination-data is selected, effect-algorithms included in the selected combination-algorithm or combination-data are selectively read out from the memory. A program for applying effects in a predetermined combination and order is written by CPU based on the read out effect-algorithms and combination-algorithm or combination-data. Receiving the program, DSP successively applies effects to the input audio signal in accordance with the program. As a result, the present effector needs less memory capacity than the conventional effector in which a number of programs consisting of combinations of effect-algorithms are previously stored. A multi-effector comprised of a connection of a digital effect adding device and an analog effect adding device, is provided with a memory having a plurality of memory areas for storing audio signals. An input audio signal, an input signal to the analog effect adding device and an output signal of the digital effect adding device are stored in respective memory areas of the memory. Whether either of input signals is supplied to the digital effect adding device or whether the output signal of the digital effect adding device is input to the analog effect adding device or the output signal is output as a final signal are decided by operation of an externally operated switch. In this way, the order in which effects are applied can be altered independently of the connection of the above two effect adding devices.

    摘要: A tone generation control unit has four waveform read/write channels for selectively the reading or writing data in a waveform memory. A plurality of waveform signals stored in the waveform memory are converted into analog signals to be subjected to timbre and tone volume control through voltage-controlled filters and voltage-controlled amplifiers before being fed to a mixing adder. An output signal of the mixing adder is converted into a digital signal which is stored in the waveform memory again through processing of the tone generation control unit. The stored converted output from the mixing adder is later used again as a new sound source waveform which is operated on to produce tones.

    摘要: An input waveform signal is converted in an A/D converter into a digital signal to be written in a waveform memory under control of a tone generation control unit. The written digital signal is read out from the waveform memory with a designated delay time. The input waveform signal and the digital signal read out from the waveform memory are converted in a D/A converter into analog signals which are fed through VCFs and VCAs so as to be sounded. Further, in the above arrangement the timbre and tone volume controls are done independently for the individual waveform read/write channels through VCFs 12a to 12d and VCAs 13a to 13d. Thus, it is possible to obtain a further effected sound.

    摘要: The position of a connecting portion between waveforms can be arbitrarily set when a plurality of waveform data is obtained by changing pitch widths of stored external sound waveform data, when a read rate of the waveform data is increased or decreased and the readout waveform data is synthesized, or when the waveform is changed from one waveform to another waveform. In addition, a plurality of loop reproduction cycles can be arbitrarily set when the waveform data is to be read out. In loop reproduction, two items of waveform data having different phases between the preset start and end addresses can be repeatedly read out and synthesized, and their mixing ratios can be changed as a function of time, thereby performing loop reproduction so as not to abruptly change amplitude values of the waveforms.
