    摘要: Disclosed is a stringed instrument with embedded DSP modeling capabilities to model an acoustic stringed instrument. The stringed instrument has a body and a plurality of strings and each of the plurality of strings is respectively coupled to a pickup to detect a vibration signal for each string. An A/D converter converts the detected vibration signal of a string into a digital string vibration signal. A DSP is located within the body of the stringed instrument to process the digital string vibration signal and to implement an acoustic modeling system to process the digital string vibration signal in order to emulate a corresponding string tone of one of a plurality of selectable acoustic stringed instruments. Acoustic modeling includes acoustic string and body modeling, microphone placement modeling, and pick-sound modeling. The emulated acoustic digital tone signal is then converted to analog form for output to an amplification device.

    摘要: Disclosed is a stringed instrument with embedded digital signal processing (DSP) modeling capabilities. The stringed instrument has a body and a plurality of strings and each of the plurality of strings is respectively coupled to a pickup of a polyphonic pickup. The polyphonic pickup is used to detect a vibration signal for each string. An A/D converter converts the detected vibration signal of a string into a digital string vibration signal. Further, a digital signal processor is located within the body of the stringed instrument to process the digital string vibration signal. Particularly, the digital signal processor is used to process the digital string vibration signal such that the corresponding string tone of one of a plurality of selectable stringed instruments may be emulated. The emulated digital tone signal is then converted to analog form to create an emulated analog tone signal for output to an amplification device.

    摘要: As an electronic tone is generated in response to performing operation, the electronic tone is picked up by microphones corresponding to left and right channels, and picked-up sound signals thus generated by the microphones are then subjected to signal processing, such as reverberation impartment utilizing acoustic conditions of the interior of a room. Picked-up sound signals having undergone such signal processing are audibly reproduced via rear speakers. Then, once an automatic adjustment instruction is given from a user, measuring tones are reproduced stereophonically, and contents of the signal processing of the individual channels are adjusted on the basis of measured results of picked-up sound signals generated by the microphones picking up the reproduced measuring tones.

    摘要: This invention provides a system for customizing musical instrument signal processing enabling users to produce different tonal characteristics in created musical pieces. In order to create such tonal characteristics, a new mathematical model of tonal characteristics may be digitally created based on two or more initial mathematical models of tonal characteristics. After simulating a first and second initial mathematical models of tonal characteristics, the new mathematical model is created by interpolating one or more coefficients of the first and second initial mathematical models. The new mathematical model may also adjust a control parameter where the control parameter may exist between two values. When the control parameter is the first value, the new mathematical model is the first initial mathematical model. When the control parameter is the second value, the new mathematical model may be the second initial mathematical model. When the control parameter is located at a point between the first and second values, the new mathematical model may represent a convergence between the first and second models.

    摘要: A static-type comparator, which compares the magnitude of a first binary number with a second binary number and determines if the first binary number is equal to, greater than, or less than the second binary number, is described. The comparator comprises a carry chain of comparison cells. Each comparison cell in the carry chain compares the magnitude of a different bit position of the first number with a corresponding bit position in the second number. The comparison cells input a first voltage signal, representing a binary value of a bit position of the first number, and a second voltage signal, representing a binary value of a corresponding bit position of the second number. A voltage signal from a voltage source Vcc is input into the carry chain and propagates through the chain until a comparison cell detects that there is a difference in magnitudes for a particular bit position. If a difference in magnitudes is detected, the comparison cell will output a voltage signal indicating whether the first number is greater than or less than the second number. If the numbers are equal, voltage signal Vcc propagates through the entire carry chain and is output. In the preferred embodiment, the comparator includes decode circuitry for decoding the carry chain's outputs. The comparator preferably also inputs a timing signal to time the comparator's operations.

    摘要: A series of delay circuits are provided which receive tone signal sample data of plural channels supplied on a time shared basis, hold plural tone signal sample data of each channel and hold these plural sample data while sequentially delaying them. The series of delay circuits are connected in an endless manner to form a circulating loop and plural data selection circuits are provided at predetermined delay stages. Each data selection circuit performs a selection control as to whether new tone signal sample data should be loaded in the delay circuit loop or data in the delay circuit should be circulated. Tone signal sample data which are provided sequentially from the delay circuit loop after delay are sequentially operated with filter coefficients of plural orders and results of the operation are accumulated to obtain a filter operation output. This construction enables tone signal sample data of a necessary channel to be loaded in the delay circuit loop at a point of a necessary data selection circuit in a time period which is shorter than one cycle of the entire delay circuit loop. Therefore, the time division period of supplied tone signal sample data of each channel can be made different from the time division period of each channel in the delay circuit loop.

    摘要: Room acoustics simulation is achieved by digitally defining delay and weighting parameters and generating sampled analog signal responses. In the early portion of a response term an accurate impulse response is provided and subsequently high echo density is simulated using sampled analog signal Schroeder sections. A sampled data analog signal device is used which employs charge transfer devices as programmable delay media, multiplying digital to analog converters to generate weighting of the analog signal and a general purpose microprocessor as a parameter calculator. The early impulse response characteristic is accomplished by providing a time domain finite impulse response (FIR) section in a transversal filter arrangement which directly feeds to an ultimate output and to parallel comb filter sections which in turn input to at least one all pass section of the so-called Schroeder configuration. The charge transfer devices are employed as programmable delays to propagate the analog signals. All weighting coefficient products are generated by multiplying digital-to-analog converters.
