Abstract

PURPOSE:To use the rhythm generating device for not only a walk, a fast walk (walking race), or practice in music, but also an open performance by slightly varying the frequency about a specific selected frequency. CONSTITUTION:A frequency selecting means 10 optionally selects one of plural specific frequencies which are previously set. A frequency varying means 20 slightly and optionally increases and decreases the frequency value about the specific frequency which is optionally selected among the frequencies as a center value. An oscillation means 30 oscillates the frequency specified by the frequency varying means 20 and a pulse generating means 40 converts the oscillation signal from the oscillation means 30 into a pulse signal. A tone generating means 50 generates a specific tone corresponding to the pulse signal generated by the pulse selecting means 40 and a rhythm sound output means 60 outputs an audible rhythm sound on the basis of the tone signal oscillated by the tone generating means 50.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of this device. Reference numeral 10 in the figure is frequency selecting means. The frequency selection means 10 arbitrarily selects one of a plurality of preset predetermined frequencies. The frequency selection means 10 can be configured by a switch system, for example. Here, the predetermined frequency is converted to a pulse time width described later, for example, 0.3 seconds, 0.4 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1.0 seconds, 2.0 seconds, 3.0
Seconds, 4.0 seconds, 8.0 seconds.

Reference numeral 20 is a frequency varying means. The frequency changing means 20 is for slightly increasing or decreasing the frequency value with a predetermined frequency () arbitrarily selected from the plurality of frequencies by the frequency selecting means 10 as a center value. For example, in terms of pulse time width, "2.0 seconds" is "1.6 to 2.5 seconds" and "3.0 seconds" is "2.6 to 3.5 seconds".
Seconds ".

Reference numeral 30 is an oscillating means. Oscillating means 30
Oscillates the frequency specified by the frequency changing means 20. This oscillating means 30 uses a well-known suitable oscillator.
