Abstract

The keyboard has a device that dynamically divides keyboard regions in a program controlled manner while playing music. The keyboard regions are changed in real-time while playing the music. Pre-defined instrument sound is produced in a part of the keyboard that is contained in right hand or left hand of a musician while playing the music. Hand positions of the musician are recognized by utilizing optical information. A camera lens (L) monitors keyboard fields (Kr-01, Kr-88) of the keyboard and reports changes of a captured image to an internal system.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sich dynamisch verändernde Tastenzuordnung bei Keyboards, welche multitimbrales Musizieren zulassen, also ein Spiel mit gleichzeitig unterschiedlichen Instrumentenklängen.The invention relates to a dynamically changing key assignment on keyboards, which allow multi-timbral music, so a game with different instrument sounds simultaneously.

Bei solchen Keyboards ist es aus musikalischen Gründen oft üblich, bei multitimbralen Spiel die Tastatur in unterschiedliche Bereiche aufzuteilen, so dass beispielsweise der linke Teil der Tastatur von unten bis ungefähr zur Mitte einen Pianoklang wiedergibt, der rechte Teil der Tastatur beispielsweise dagegen von oben bis ungefähr zur Mitte einen Hornklang. Diese Bereiche können nach dem Stand der Technik vom Benutzer unterschiedlich festgelegt werden, sie bleiben jedoch starr zugeordnet, und können vom Benutzer nur manuell verändert werden. Diese starre Zuordnung ist jedoch störend, wenn aus musikalischen Gründen der einem bestimmten Instrument zugeordnet Bereich während des Musizieren nicht ausreicht.. Wenn also, um beim aufgeführten Beispiel zu bleiben, das Horn vorübergehend, aber nicht durchgehend, tief im linken Bassbereich erklingen sollte.With such keyboards, it is often customary for musical reasons to divide the keyboard into different areas in multitimbral play, so that, for example, the left part of the keyboard reproduces a piano sound from below to approximately the middle, whereas the right part of the keyboard, for example, from top to about to the middle a horn sound. These ranges can be set differently by the user in the prior art, but they remain rigidly assigned and can only be changed manually by the user. However, this rigid assignment is annoying when, for musical reasons, the range assigned to a particular instrument is insufficient during music making. So, to stick with the example given, the horn should sound transient but not continuous, deep in the left bass range.

Um diesem Nachteil abzuhelfen werden gemäß dieser Erfindung die betreffenden Klänge nicht starr der Tastatur, sondern der rechten und linken Hand des Musikers zugeordnet. Beim Spiel wird durch eine geeignete sensorische, vorzugsweise optische Erkennung, verfolgt, in welchem Bereich der Tastatur sich während des Musizieren die jeweilige Hand des Musikers befindet und der der betreffenden Hand zugeordnete Klang unmittelbar und in Echtzeit diesem Tastaturbereich unterlegt.To remedy this disadvantage, according to this invention, the respective sounds are not rigidly associated with the keyboard but with the right and left hands of the musician. In the game, by means of a suitable sensory, preferably visual recognition, it is possible to track in which area of the keyboard the musician's hand is located during the making of the music and the sound assigned to the relevant hand underlies this keyboard area directly and in real time.

Ein mit einer derartigen Einrichtung versehenes Tasteninstrument verfügt vorzugsweise über eine Kamera-Optik, welche auf das Tastenfeld ausgerichtet ist. Sobald die Positionen der Hände des Musikers zum Tastenfeld auf Grund der unterschiedlichen Helligkeits- und Kontrastwerte und soweit möglich, aus Helligkeits- und Kontrastwerten auch die Armhaltung des Musikers erkannt werden, bewirken diese Erkenntnisse, gegebenenfalls unter Zuhilfenahme vordefinierter und gespeicherter Muster, dass dem Tastenfeld unterhalb der rechten beziehungsweise linken Hand des Musikers der dieser Hand zugeordnete Klang unterlegt wird.A keyboard instrument provided with such a device preferably has a camera optic which is aligned with the keypad. As soon as the positions of the hands of the musician to the keyboard due to the different brightness and contrast values and as far as possible from brightness and contrast values and the arm posture of the musician are detected, cause these findings, possibly with the aid of predefined and stored pattern that the keypad below the right or left hand of the musician of the sound associated with this hand is underlaid.

Die beigefügten Zeichnungen dienen zur Verdeutlichung der Erfindung.The accompanying drawings serve to illustrate the invention.

01 zeigt ein mit der beschriebenen Technik ausgestattetes Keyboard. Eine Kameralinse L überwacht den Tastaturbereich Kr-01 bis Kr-88 des Keyboards und meldet Veränderungen des aufgenommenen Bildes an ein internes System, welches aus den Helligkeits- und Kontrastwerten sowie aus dem Vergleich zu vordefinierten Mustern die Position der Hände des Musikers ermittelt. 01 shows a keyboard equipped with the described technique. A camera lens L monitors the keyboard range Kr-01 to Kr-88 of the keyboard and reports changes of the recorded image to an internal system, which determines the position of the musician's hands from the brightness and contrast values and from the comparison to predefined patterns.

02 zeigt eine Aufteilung der Bereiche für den der rechten Hand zugeordneten Klang RHR und für den der linken Hand zugeordneten Klang LHR wie er bei Beginn des Musizieren festgelegt sein könnte. SP kennzeichnet den Splitpunkt, die Trennlinie der beiden Bereiche. 02 shows a division of the areas for the right hand associated sound RHR and for the left hand associated sound LHR as he could be set at the beginning of making music. SP indicates the split point, the dividing line of the two areas.

03 zeigt, wie sich die beiden Bereiche verschieben, wenn beide Hände weit im linken Teil der Tastatur musizieren. 03 shows how the two areas move when both hands are playing in the left part of the keyboard.

04 zeigt, wie sich die beiden Bereiche verschieben, wenn beide Hände weit im rechten Teil der Tastatur musizieren. 04 shows how the two areas move when both hands are playing far in the right part of the keyboard.

05 zeigt, eine überlappende Position beider Hände des Musikers. Hier werden vorzugsweise beiden Händen sowohl der der rechten, als auch der der linken Hand zugeordnete Klang unterlegt. 05 shows an overlapping position of both hands of the musician. Here, both hands of both the right, and the left hand assigned sound are preferably highlighted.

06 zeigt eine kreuzförmig übereinander liegende Arm- und Handhaltung. Dadurch wird der der linken Hand zugeordnete Klang LHR nun dem rechten Teil der Tastatur unterlegt, der der rechten Hand RHR nun dem linken Teil der Tastatur. 06 shows a cross-shaped superimposed arm and hand posture. As a result, the LHR sound associated with the left hand is now underlined on the right hand side of the keyboard, that of the right hand RHR is now underlined on the left hand side of the keyboard.
