摘要:
An electronic musical instrument is of a type in which a particular note tone and tones corresponding to the remaining notes among depressed keys are alternately and repeatedly produced in accordance with tone production timing signals having a predetermined period. The tone production timing signals are produced by frequency dividing tempo pulses generated from a tempo pulse oscillator. An alternate production control is conducted by gating alternately signal of the particular note tone and signals of other tones and delivering to a sound system. The period of the tone production timing signals can be controlled by a circuit which detects depression of plural keys.

An electronic musical instrument includes an upper, lower and pedal key boards and a solo keyboard, key switches and associated circuits for producing key codes of the depressed keys, and musical tone signal generators which generate musical tone signals in accordnace with the key codes. A priority selection circuit is provided for selecting a single key code from among a plurality of concurrent key codes with respect to plural keyboards in accordance with a predetermined order of priority, and a musical signal is generated by a predetermined generating system for producing a musical tone signal generator in accordance with the selected key code. Thus, a special intermanual coupler effect is realized.

An automatic performance device comprises a pattern memory for storing a plurality of performance patterns and a sequence memory for storing a pattern progression. The pattern progression is programable and is written in the sequence memory. The performance patterns are selected one by one from the pattern memory according to the pattern progression. Each selected performance pattern is read out according to a tempo pulse. An automatic performance is carried out on the basis of the read-out performance pattern.

A display device for an automatic rhythm performance apparatus comprises a common display unit which selectively displays tempo and rhythm advancement of the automatic rhythm performance. For this purpose, the device has a selector for selecting the display contents so that the display of tempo is performed by numerical value before the rhythm starts, and the display of the rhythm advancement is performed by the number of measures, the number of beats and a demarcating mark between them after the rhythm starts.

An electronic musical instrument comprises a key on-off memory for storing the on-off state of the respective keys, and at a time counter for counting the lapse of time after release of the respective keys. The time counter inhibits generation of the musical tone signal corresponding to the key when the conditions that predetermined time is elapsed after the key release and that the key-off state is stored in the memory are satisfied. This inhibition is separately conducted with respect to the keys. Thus, it can remarkably prevent noise when the tone should not be produced.

An electronic musical instrument having an automatic performance device includes a memory storing in addition to automatic performance data, envelope control data for controlling envelopes of automatic performance tones to be generated. The envelope control data has two logical values and is used for controlling the envelope of the tone at the decaying portion. The value "0" designates a gradual decay and the value "1" designates a quick decay. The automatic performance tones are respectively imparted with either of the gradual and the quick decay shapes suitable for the time intervals between the generated tones in the designated automatic performance pattern.

A keyboard electronic musical instrument comprises a note information processing device capable of processing note information required for automatic arpeggio and automatic bass performances. This note information processing device includes a generation circuit for generating a plurality of note information representing a plurality of notes to be sounded in relation to the key depression, a selection circuit for sequentially selecting a note information designating a note to be sounded from among the plurality of note information from the generation circuit in accordance with a predetermined priority order; an output circuit for delivering out the note information selected by the selection circuit, the selection at each sequence being conducted dependent on the selection at the preceding sequence. The selection circuit includes a first selector which selects note information of higher (or lower) notes than the note information outputted at the preceding sequence and a second selector which selects note information of the lowest (or highest) one from among the information selected by the first selector. The note information processing device is used commonly for the automatic arpeggio performance and the automatic bass performance in a time division manner.
摘要:
An electronic musical instrument capable of providing automatic bass and chord accompaniments, either in accordance with a program prepared by the player or in immediate response to the depressing of a minimum number of keys on lower and pedal keyboards. The programmed accompaniments proceed sequentially (in steps) with successive measures of accompaniment data being read from a memory. By making some of these measures blank in introducing the accompaniment data into the memory, therefore, the player can play desired bass and chord accompaniments by direct key depression during the blank measures. In an alternative embodiment the production of the programmed accompaniments is automatically inhibited during the production of key-responsive accompaniments, thereby enabling the player to override the programmed accompaniments at any time.
摘要:
An electronic musical instrument is of a key assigner type including a key coder and a channel processor, and is equipped with an automatic bass/chord performance faculty. The key coder includes a root note memory and a chord type memory, whereas the channel processor includes a key code memory and a key-on memory. The instrument is provided with a chord note memory function rendering switch and a bass note memory function rendering switch. When the chord note memory function rendering switch is turned on, the key-on memory is not cleared after release of the keys for conducting a automatic performance of chord tones. When the bass note memory function rendering switch is turned on, the root note memory and the chord type memory are not cleared after release of the keys for conducting an automatic performance of bass tones.Thus a bass-note memorized automatic accompaniment performance and a chord-note memorized automatic accompaniment performance are independently selectable.

In an electronic musical instrument, a plurality of component elements of a musical tone are designated by a respective plurality of manual setting elements and preset in a preset memory device. A person operating the device can select a musical tone to be produced based on the component element preset in the preset memory device or the component elements formed by the manual setting elements or any combination of such preset and manually set component elements. A visual display is used to display the amount of operation of the manual setting elements.
