摘要:
Multiplexed serial data from the keyboard of a musical instrument, such as an electronic organ, is delayed in a shift register to cause generation of musical tones related to the keyswitches closed on the keyboard and combined with the non-delayed serial data for producing mutation voices or chords.
摘要:
A large scale integrated circuit chip is provided with internal tone generators and digital attack and decay features interconnected with external capacitors for controlling the attack and decay of tones. External diodes are wired to the chip and to the external capacitors and have a circuit completed by a damper switch. According to the position of the switch the capacitors will discharge slowly for long sustain of tones, or will discharge very rapidly through an additional discharge path on the chip upon key release to produce very rapid decay.

An aquarium filter arrangement including a filter housing and a filter cartridge positionable within a filter chamber of the filter housing. The filter arrangement includes a hinged cover connected to the filter housing. The hinged cover is designed to collect condensation when the cover is in an open position, and empty the collected condensation into the filter chamber when the cover is closed. The filtering housing also includes guides located above the filter chamber. The filter cartridge can be positioned within the guides during maintenance of the aquarium.

A non-volatile memory system for an electronic musical instrument having a plurality of player actuatable instrument controls, comprises a readable, writable memory. The memory includes addressing inputs and data input/outputs. The data input/outputs are coupled with at least selected ones of the plurality of player actuatable instrument controls. Player actuatable memory controls are also provided for selecting either the memory or the selected ones of the player actuatable instrument controls for control of the instrument.
摘要:
A touch responsive tonal envelope waveshape control system is provided for an electronic musical instrument which includes cooperating tone generating and keying circuits which are responsive to actuation of a key for initiating the generation and keying of a corresponding tone. The system of the invention includes encoding circuits responsive to the actuation of a key for producing encoded signals corresponding to the intensity of player actuation of the key and an amplitude control circuit responsive to these encoded intensity signals and cooperative with the keying circuits for controlling the peak amplitude of the tonal envelope waveshape in accordance with the intensity of player actuation of the key for initiating that tone.
摘要:
A portable heater of the type having a housing containing an internal fan and heating element to force heated air out of a blower opening is disclosed herein. The heater housing includes a plurality of foot-operable, push-button switches mounted on an outlet face, and the housing is of a horizontally stable configuration. A fulcrum, which also may be utilized as a carrying handle, is also disclosed to assist in foot-operation of the switches, and an angled outlet face is disclosed to direct heated air from the housing.
