But being the undeclared mode that the musical instrument sound electricity is adjusted when playing, above-mentioned file do not provide the sound that to add to add to method on the musical instrument sound yet.
Adjust the tone color quality of a musical instrument if desired, generally must provide a microphone to obtain, electric signal is exported through a processor by microphone again when the musical instrument sound in performance.Processor adds the effect of for example reverberation and delay.But the electro-acoustic of handling must hear the people through earphone or loudspeaker.The sound of this kind modification is produced by musical instrument body.
So locate the sound that to modify directly by the demand of the mode of musical instrument output.
Summary of the invention
According to an aspect of of the present present invention, a musical instrument is provided, comprising:
At least one string of a musical instrument, this string of a musical instrument is vibrated and is produced sound;
One transducer is used for picking up electric signal from musical instrument;
One processor is used to handle electric signal;
One soundboard; And
Driver on soundboard is used for the output that the electric signal excitation soundboard after handling is produced a sound.
Use is according to musical instrument of the present invention, and the output sound of a usual musical instrument of playing can be adjusted when playing.This can produce the effect of for example echo or delay.
This musical instrument also can be used to increase the volume of musical instrument and need not increase the weight of it and play, when this faint difference at for example natural string of a musical instrument harmony is played of great use.
According to technology of the present invention, as the sound musical instrument of a ducted body musical instrument, processor can be positioned in the body, so can exempt the needs that add amplifier-loudspeaker for the combined voice of hearing processing.If echo is added to feedback signal, then musical instrument can produce one with it big or small disproportionate sound.Processor can be obtained in market, and is furnished with different sequences and different effects, exports when the musical instrument soundboard is presented when it, and these can produce very different sound.
Above-described technology can produce new and original sound.
The musician usually wishes to be accompanied by other musicians and performs music.But for loudspeaker or the earphone of hearing that other voice signals need add.In addition, when some people needs a timing when performance, wish to hear tum, metronome whomp.
Being provided with really of adding needs.The sound of the setting that adds of this kind generation be separated from each other fully by the sound that musical instrument produced.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the musical instrument that is provided comprises:
One soundboard;
At least one string of a musical instrument, the string of a musical instrument can mechanically be vibrated by instrument playing person;
One mechanical coupler, mechanical couplings make the output that the vibration coupling of the string of a musical instrument produces a sound to soundboard to the soundboard of this at least one string of a musical instrument.
One input signal connector is used to import an input signal to musical instrument, and
One is installed in the driver on the soundboard, and it is coupled to the input signal connector, encourages soundboard and produces and add to the corresponding sound of signal of input signal connector;
Make the vibration of the soundboard excited target device and the string of a musical instrument be energized simultaneously and produce an output sound signal that merges.
Can produce the musical instrument that adds sound by driver when instrument playing can make the sound of the track of for example accompanying produce through musical instrument itself.Often, can feel that this can assist the player that sensation near music is arranged through body by the vibration that music produces.Can assist also to feel that metronome beats bat sound.
In the mode of some keyswitch type electronic musical instruments, can provide/select for use the sound that adds or music score or come pre-programmed through the suitable interface of a for example MIDI, the performing artist partly has or does not have and strengthen playing when playing homophony at sound like this, can reproduce the track of accompanying.The comprehensive notion of this kind can provide the possibility of unlimited intention music.
Musical instrument can be to have at least one string of a musical instrument to dial qin or the sonorific stringed musical instrument of bow qin mode." stringed musical instrument " of Shi Yonging do not comprise the piano that string is wherein beaten by bump by narrow meaning notion herein.
According to the present invention of either side, can be connected on the body so that obtain maximum or required typical driver intensity or required sound property or quality by peace as the driver that WO97/09842 instructed.This may be a plurality of drivers.
Transducer can place or be bordering on the string of a musical instrument, so that will directly be handled and be back to the soundboard of musical instrument through the driver feedback by former machinery/voice signal that a stringed musical instrument comes, makes that a signal that replenishes and former signal are heard.For example in the processing trend of a stringed musical instrument to instrument signal, it can be used as the instrument that is imbued with performance, utilizes the soundboard of musical instrument to come the effect of reproduction processes.So just do not need a musical instrument amplifier to hear processed signal.
The mechanical vibration of the string of a musical instrument of musical instrument can directly be picked up and be converted an electric signal to by a transducer.
Deliver to the soundboard of musical instrument via feedback signal, secondary signal will be presented in the voice output of musical instrument.Its result is that the sound that supplementary signal will be treated to by musical instrument body or soundboard has identical tone color with former sound.
Driver can be the general type that is set forth in WO97/09842.Drive point for driver can be decided by test and/or simulation.
The kinetic energy of driver and transducer can be provided by single transducer; Also can be lowered as following discussion feedback.This can allow sound that performance is more accurately arranged.When musical instrument in performance, the transducer that this sound can merges and record as the driver of a transducer.After a while, identical vibration is reproduced and exactly instrument playing sound is given generation again through transducer/driver of identical merging.
Transducer can be a magnetic force pick-up, and this kind pick-up has the vibration of only picking up the vibration string but not the advantage of sound on the soundboard.This also can lower the feedback effect that may cause.
This mean the string of a musical instrument must by ferromagnetism for example steel make.This is applied on the guitar, and the problem place is for when only three strings the thinnest are made by steel, three strings the thinnest generally by copper cash outside the nylon heart around and form, thicker string then must comprise a ferrimagnet.
Usually be convenient to picking up of magnetic force for all strings of making by steel.But to some musical instrument speech all is that steel can't be used.To a guitar, the string of high frequency may can be to wrap up adhesive tape in the steel for the low-frequency string of steel, rather than common copper.
Replace or additionally, processor can add continuous pitch shift (" trill ") on signal, as the mode of an attenuating feedback that replaces.Trill can be between one of positive and negative percentage of primary frequency.
Replace or additionally, the algorithm in digital field can be used to reduce the resonance of feedback.Feedback signal is given amplitude limit limit feedback in a predetermined value, so that performance is not disturbed in this feedback.
Also can provide family expenses Hi-Fi to reproduce according to device of the present invention.For example in the situation of a violin, a FR driver places a preposition of the optimal vibration on the body of violin, as pick-up.When the violinist plays a melody, export according to usual mode and to be exaggerated and to record.When playing, violin is preferably in the position that places equal height in the air, and via identical driver with signal reproduction, this will produce a sound that is bordering on very much the melody of original performance.
An other example is can be equipped with driver in the piano body.Utilize driver can carry out a plurality of track recording as mechano-electrical transducer.This moment, one piano that reduces in proportion than former piano can be used for recording is reset, and this small scale piano has the driver of corresponding proportion and position.This method can produce the audio reproduction as former sound when optimal selection, have the tone color identical with former sound, tonequality, and sound wave transmission characteristic.
So, because the vibration of original musical instrument and the radiation characteristic of sound are produced, presence that it can be superior and high fidelity are reproduced recording itself according to musical instrument of the present invention.In initial modes, musical instrument body is energized, and certainly, it is not suitable for the reproduction of other sound.
In this operator scheme, musical instrument oneself is used to promote the audio reproduction of signal section, and this dual character has further promoted the musical instrument quality, and obtainable result.
Processor can comprise a microprocessor.With dynamic range be controlled at a selection, completely or in default or even the scope that the user is adjustable, and the monitoring at feedback edge and control aspects such as (for example by gain attenuating frequency shift (FS) and/or delay technologies) can be arranged in the microprocessor with suitable software, sensing and control circuit.User/musician does not have because the transducer reproduction link to a loop imports the problem that too much forward gain causes into like this.
Microprocessor can be worked in coordination with or the control signal handling part assigns to provide some functions, for example postpone, different classes of reverberation, " edge ", echo and sound are increased, the generation of inferior and sound (latter's expansion low-frequency rate effect is more useful when using a woofer) is strengthened by bass relevant on psychology-sound and that sound is synthetic.
Available soft limiting obtains graceful overload characteristics, and this is that sound quality is controlled in the meticulous mode that operates in the limit, can add frequency and mould, and reaches characteristics such as tone color tone.
The control of microprocessor can be through the convenient hardware wiring console panel that is provided with of the body of musical instrument or a foot-operated control module and/or by the interface of a wiring, or radio or optical fiber coupling realize.
For reproducing or recording the simple or electric signal that mixes for one, can use an electricity output.This output comprise be used for later duplicate and/or general usual be the transducers pick up signal section of non-musical instrument for the loudspeaker reproduction on basis.
When not needing to make instrument playing too strong, has the effect that increases sound and be added on the audience firmly in the effect of reverberation in fact and the volume that adds.
Effect to the best is sayed, only needs suitable electric power, because driver and He Zou radiation efficiency reach the volume that generally needs, for example gets final product between 1 of rated electrical to 10 watts.On using, some can use built-in battery to supply with the electric power of musical instrument.
The musical instrument that the invention one is new, own electric power or power supply on the spot can comprise or not comprise the resonating disk or the conical loudspeaker of piston that add.Preferably is furnished with detachable chassis, so unlikely free natural vibration that has limited musical instrument improperly.
Can by adorn a cone type loudspeaker increase musical instrument low range frequencies and with inner encapsulated member and with the soundboard venthole be that sound holes is worked, have (Helmholtz) resonance now of one hertz of nurse milli, this mode provides big frequency range and efficient.
