Abstract

The main feature of the storage organ comprises the complete recording of sound and its storage in the external store (i.e. in an optical disc or compact disc). Such recordings, in contrast to an electronic organ where the sound is generated electronically, are equivalent to the true sound.

Description

Die Speicherorgel ist in der aus einer Figur bestehenden Zeichnung dar gestellt und besteht aus fünf TeilenThe storage organ is shown in the drawing consisting of one figure posed and consists of five parts

1. Playback, amplification and control system. It receives those coming from the processor and those from the manual and signals generated by the pedal and reproduces them;
2. Internal memory: it serves

a) to select the entire scale of the registers, which are set by the register part 5 of the organ;

b) to transmit the tones to the playback system 1 , which correspond to the keys pressed on the organ table.
3. External storage (optical record): All the tones that make up the different organ are stored on it registers.
4. Processor:

a) It transfers the selected register settings from external to internal memory ( 2, 3 ).

b) It initiates the reproduction of the tones corresponding to the keys pressed on the gaming table with all selected features (crescendo, connections, associations, combinations to be set, graduation apparatus) by the reproduction system 1 .
5. Register part: It is used to select those registers that are in the internal memory should be saved with all their characteristics.
6. Organ playing table (with changing number of manuals, from one to seven, pedal and lever for crescendo and graduation machine).

Die Aufzeichnung von akustischen Signalen auf einer optischen Schallplatte, im Gegensatz zur elektronisch erworbenen Tonerzeugung, gleicht dem wahren Ton mit veränderlicher, aber immer größerer Annäherung (der Verzerrungs grad hängt lediglich von der Qualität des Aufnahme- und Wiedergabeapparats der Urtöne ab).The recording of acoustic signals on an optical record, in contrast to the electronically acquired sound generation, is like the real one Tone with a variable, but ever closer approximation (the distortion degree only depends on the quality of the recording and playback apparatus of primordial tones).

Die außerordentliche Speicherungsfähigkeit von externen Speichern erlaubt die Anwendung einer unbeschränkten Zahl von Registern im gesamten Frequenz umfang (von 16 bis 20 000 Hz) und mit allen ihren Merkmalen (Crescendo, Graduierapparat, Verbindungen, einzustellende Kombinationem, Vereinigungen).The extraordinary storage capacity of external memories allows the application of an unlimited number of registers in the entire frequency range (from 16 to 20,000 Hz) and with all its characteristics (crescendo, Graduation apparatus, connections, combinations to be set, associations).

Die Töne werden Halbton für Halbton in jedem Register und mit allen mög lichen Eigenschaften aufgenommen und gespeichert und nachher wiedergegeben.The tones become semitone by semitone in every register and with all possible properties recorded and saved and then reproduced.

Es werden auch alle Merkmale der Pfeifenorgel erhalten und wiedergegeben (Crescendo, Graduierapparat, Vereinigungen, einzustellende Kombinationen, Verbindungen).All features of the pipe organ are also preserved and reproduced (Crescendo, graduation apparatus, associations, combinations to be set, Links).

Die Kosten der Speicherorgel sind niedriger als die Kosten einer elektronischen Orgel, da weder eine langfristige Vorbereitung verlangt wird, noch die Lebens dauer einer optischen Schallplatte beschränkt ist (sie wird zur Zeit auf ca. 300 Jahre geschätzt). The cost of the storage organ is lower than the cost of an electronic one Organ, since neither long-term preparation is required, nor life is limited to an optical record (it is currently limited to approx. Estimated 300 years).

Die von diesem System angebotenen Möglichkeiten sind bemerkenswert: Es werden durch die Speicherung von Klängen in dem externen Speicher vom historischen und künstlerischen Standpunkt aus sehr interessante Instrumen tierungen möglich. Es werden außerdem prinzipielle Schematisierungen möglich, auch mit Lehrzielen, indem die verschiedenen Lauteigenschaften der alten (italienischen, deutschen usw.), klassischen, romantischen oder modernen Orgel im externen Speicher ausgewählt werden.The possibilities offered by this system are remarkable: It is by storing sounds in the external memory from the historical and artistic point of view from very interesting instruments possible. Basic schematizations are also possible, also with teaching objectives by the different lute characteristics of the old (Italian, German etc.), classic, romantic or modern organ selected in the external memory.

Es ist möglich, die Speicherorgel mühelos zu verstellen, während die Pfeifen orgeln unverstellbar sind.It is possible to easily adjust the storage organ while whistling organs are impossible to adjust.

Claims

Memory organ with an internal and an external memory and a processor, as well as with a gaming table and a playback system, characterized in that

- That the sound signals in the external memory ( 3 ) are stored semitone for semitone for each register with all possible tones,
- That via the processor ( 4 ) from the gaming table ( 6 ) those sound signals can be called up from the external memory, which are selected by pressing the button in accordance with the registration set in the register part ( 5 ),
- And that the retrieved sound signals from the processor ( 4 ) in the re-output system ( 1 ) are brought to acoustic reproduction.
