    摘要: A frequency divider which divides clock pulses to obtain the clock frequency of a desired dividing ratio comprises a binary counter, cycle data forming circuit and inhibit circuit to which the dividing ratio is fed in the form of the dividing ratio data.The counter counts the clock pulses, and the cycle data forming circuit converts the count value of the binary counter to a cycle data in which a certain single bit only becomes a logical state "1" and the rest of the bits are a state "0". The bit which becomes "1" in the cycle data is uniquely determined by the count value. Further, each bit of the cycle data becomes "1" in proportion to the weight of the each bit. With the cycle data being thus formed, the dividing ratio data is simplified.The inhibit circuit receives the cycle data and the dividing ratio data to suspend the counting operation of the binary count if the bit of the dividing ratio data corresponding to the bit of the cycle data whose state is "1" is also "1". This suspension enables the binary counter to perform a nonbinary counting operation, whereby the frequency-dividing based on the desired dividing ratio in the binary counter is implemented. By relating the diving ratio data to the pitch of a note, the frequency divider may be applicable to an electronic musical instrument.

    摘要: A video display control system displays a multicolor animation pattern on a screen of a video display unit. The video display control system is mainly constructed by a video RAM (VRAM) and a video display processor (VDP). The VRAM stores animation pattern data, display position data and at least two color data. The VDP reads these data and makes an animation pattern image displayed in at least two colors at a display position on the screen. The animation pattern image, two colors and display position are determined by the animation pattern data, two color data and display position data. In another video display control system, the VRAM stores at least two sets of animation pattern data, display position data and color data. When displaying two animation patterns, the VDP effects a logical operation on the two color data with respect to the overlapping portion of the two patterns and makes the overlapping portion displayed in a new color corresponding to the operation result. When the animation patterns overlaps, the VDP can also deliver a collision signal in place of the logical operation, thereby enabling a CPU to recognize the position of the overlapping portion.

    摘要: 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.

    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: In a waveform producing system for use in, for example, an electronic musical instrument, a tone generator circuit and/or a tone control circuit including tone keyer circuits, each or either one of said tone generator circuit and said tone control circuit comprises: pulse generators associated with key-actuated switches, respectively; waveform memorizing means having at least one row of voltage dividers of which the division ratios are preset in characteristics corresponding to either the tone waveforms, the tone envelopes or the depression speeds of the key operated by the player of the instrument; sequential memory read-out means connected to the respective voltage dividers; and pulse generators thereby providing an enabling signal sequentially to the individual dividers every time a pulse is inputted from the pulse generators to read-out the memorized waveform in the form of a modified audio signal at the output side of the circuit. The memorized waveforms can arbitrarily be sampled (scanned) out by using a sampling circuit in the read-out means, thereby providing variations in the modified audio signal. The tone control circuit enables the tone level control in conformity to the depression speed of the key and tone envelope control without the need to employ the conventional charge-discharge circuit requiring a relatively large capacitance capacitor, and makes it easy to carry out circuit integration.

    摘要: A video display processor (VDP) produces a video signal by which a black and white image of an increased gradation can be displayed on a video display unit. The VDP reads from a video RAM (VRAM) either color codes each representative of a color of each display element, or amplitude data representative of amplitudes of a video signal to be reproduced. When displaying an image based on the color codes, the color codes are converted by a color palette circuit into color data each composed of three primary color data, and then supplied to a digital color encoder. The digital color encoder multiplies each of the three color data by predetermined coefficients at proper phase timings to output data representative of three chrominance signals. This output data is summed by an adder circuit and then converted into an analog signal to be supplied to the video display unit as the video signal. When displaying an image based on the amplitude data, the color palette circuit converts the amplitude data into gradation data. The digital color encoder multiplies the gradation data by other proper coefficients so that data proportional in value to the gradation data are obtained at the output of the adder circuit. This data is converted into an analog signal to thereby reproduce the video signal.

    摘要: A video display control system comprises a video display processor (VDP) which is capable of accessing to a video RAM (VRAM) at an extremely high-speed. The VRAM used in this system comprises first and second dynamic RAMs each having an address input terminal to which row address data and column address data are supplied, a row address strobe input terminal, a column address strobe input terminal, and a data input/output terminal. The row address data is latched at the leading edge of a row address strobe signal applied to the row address strobe input terminal, while the column address data is latched at the leading edge of a column address strobe signal applied to the column address strobe input terminal. An access to an address of each dynamic RAM is established when both of the row and column address data are latched. The VDP comprises a VRAM interface for controlling an access to the first and second dynamic RAMs which is connected to the RAMs through a common address bus. The VRAM interface first outputs row address data together with a row address strobe signal RAS and then outputs column address data together with two column address strobe signals CAS0 and CAS1 which are rendered active in sequence and supplied to the first and second dynamic RAMs, respectively.

    摘要: Keys of a keyboard are divided into a plurality of tone ranges and a plurality of musical tone waveforms regarding specific ones of the divided tone ranges are stored in a waveform memory device. A number of the plurality of musical tone waveforms is smaller than the number of the divided tone ranges. An address signal generator is provided which generates an address signal having a repetition period corresponding to a tone pitch of a depressed key and supplies the address signal to the waveform memory device, and an arithmetic operating circuit is provided which selects ones from among the plurality of musical tone waveforms and mixes the selected ones of a mixing ratio, thereby forming a new musical tone waveform. The selected ones and the mixing ratio are predetermined corresponding to each of the tone ranges. Different tone colors of a number which is more than the number of the waveforms are realized for the respective tone ranges just like in a natural musical instrument.
