Description

Musikinstrument mit Tonerzeugung auf elektrischem Wege Es ist bekannt, daß die Güte der Wiedergabe eines Musikinstruments nicht nur auf der Möglichkeit, bestimmte Tonhöhen und Tonstärkeveränderungen zu erhalten, beruht, sondern auch darauf, alle Schwankungen der Tonhöhe und der Tonstärke wie bei einem Saiteninstrument zu erzielen.Musical instrument with sound generation by electrical means It is known that the quality of the reproduction of a musical instrument is not only based on the possibility of obtaining certain pitches and changes in pitch is based, but also Pay attention to any fluctuations in pitch and strength like a stringed instrument to achieve.

Die Erfindung gestattet, auf radioelektrischen Instrumenten mit einer Klaviatur solche Schwankungen zu erhalten, und besteht darin, mit Hilfe von Bewegungen, die der Instrumentklaviatur erteilt werden, elektrische Systeme, wie Kondensatoren, veränderbare Spulen mit Eisenkern, Variometer, Widerstände usw. oder sonstige Mittel zu beeinflussen, wie sie zur Veränderung der Frequenz eines Schwingungskreises oder der Stärke eines elektrischen Stromes verwendet werden.The invention allows radioelectric instruments with a Keyboard to receive such fluctuations, and consists in, with the help of movements, assigned to the keyboard, electrical systems such as capacitors, changeable coils with iron core, variometer, resistors etc. or other means to influence how they change the frequency of an oscillatory circuit or the strength of an electric current can be used.

Die Erfindung ist an einer Ausführungsform in der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert, in der eine Anordnung dargestellt, ist, mittels deren ein Vibrato durch Kapazitätsveränderungen erhalten werden kann.The invention is based on an embodiment in the drawing, for example explained, in which an arrangement is shown, by means of which a vibrato by Capacity changes can be obtained.

Die Klaviatur, die vorzugsweise aus einem möglichst leichten Baustoff hergestellt ist, ist auf einem Träger mit Metallfedern oder anderen elastischen Organen angeordnet, die ermöglichen, daß die Klaviatur, wenn sie durch die .Hand des Ausübenden 'zwecks Erzeugung eines Vibrato einen vibrierenden Impuls erfährt, leicht nach allen Richtungen hin schwingen kann, d. h. wenn z. B. die beweglichen Belegungen eines Kondensators mit dieser Klaviatur verbunden werden, dann machen sich die ihr erteilten Bewegungen -in einer Schwankung der Tonhöhe bemerkbar.The keyboard, which is preferably made from the lightest possible building material is made is on a support with metal springs or other elastic Organs arranged that enable the keyboard when it is through the .Hand the practitioner experiences a vibrating impulse for the purpose of generating vibrato, can swing easily in all directions, d. H. if z. B. the movable ones Assignments of a capacitor are connected to this keyboard, then make the movements given to her - noticeable in a fluctuation of the pitch.

In der Zeichnung sind mit 37 Tasten bezeichnet, die in senkrechter Richtung derart angeschlagen werden, daß mit jeder Taste ein Ton von bestimmter Tonhöhe erhalten werden kann. Diese Tasten sind in einem Träger 38 angeordnet, der nach jeder Richtung hin beweglich ist. Der bewegliche Träger 38 kann auf einem festen Träger 39 dadurch verschoben werden, daß ihm durch Rollen 4o oder Federn ein kleiner Spielraum nach allen Richtungen hin gestattet wird. = Der bewegliche Träger 38 wird durch die Wirkung von zwei Federn 41 und 41' ständig in seine Ruhelage gezogen; dabei ist - die Feder 41' durch eine Stange 42 mit dem beweglichen Träger 38 verbunden.In the drawing, 37 keys are designated, in the vertical Direction be struck in such a way that with each key a sound of a certain Pitch can be obtained. These keys are arranged in a carrier 38, the is movable in any direction. The movable carrier 38 can be on a fixed Carrier 39 are displaced in that it is a small one by rollers 4o or springs Space in all directions is allowed. = The movable carrier 38 is constantly drawn into its rest position by the action of two springs 41 and 41 '; The spring 41 ′ is connected to the movable support 38 by a rod 42.

Mit der Stange 42 selbst ist ein Hebel 43 verbunden, der die bewegliche Belegung 44 eines veränderbaren Kondensators von schwacher Kapazität trägt, der in den Schwin=-gungskreis eingeschaltet ist. Der Kondensator kann im übrigen von beliebiger Art sein. Der Hebel 43 könnte ebenso die Verschiebung eines beweglichen Elements einer anderen Anordnung zur Veränderung der Frequenz steuern.-Eine andere Art Vibrato kann durch Veränderungen der Tonstärke erhalten werden. Zu diesem Zweck werden gemäß der Erfindung die Schwingungen der Klaviatur auf einen veränderbaren Widerstand übertragen, der auf einen geeigneten Stromkreis des Instruments einwirkt. Der Ausübende kann auch, entsprechend der Richtung und dem Ausschlag der Bewegung, die er der Klaviatur erteilt, die eine oder die andere der beiden obengenannten Wirkungen hervorrufen, oder diese miteinander kombinieren, d. h. er kann entweder die Tonhöhe oder die Tonstärke verändern oder auch beide, indem. er die beiden Elemente gleichzeitig betätigt.With the rod 42 itself, a lever 43 is connected to the movable Occupancy 44 of a variable capacitor of weak capacitance carries the is switched on in the oscillation circuit. The capacitor can, moreover, from be of any kind. The lever 43 could also be the displacement of a movable one Control elements of a different arrangement to change the frequency.-Another Art vibrato can be obtained by changing the tone strength. To this end According to the invention, the vibrations of the keyboard can be changed Transfer resistance that acts on a suitable circuit of the instrument. Of the The exerciser can also, according to the direction and extent of the movement, the he gives the keyboard one or the other of the two above-mentioned effects cause, or combine these with one another, d. H. he can either pitch or change the volume or both by. he both elements at the same time actuated.

In all den Fällen, in denen die notwendige Länge der Klaviatur und infolgedessen ihr Gewicht einer leichten Schwingmöglichkeit entgegenstehen würden, kann die Klaviatur z. B. in Oktaven unterteilt werden; die beschriebenen Anordnungen würden dann auf jede der Klaviaturabteilungen anzuwenden sein.In all those cases where the necessary length of the keyboard and as a result, their weight would prevent them from swinging easily, can the keyboard z. B. be divided into octaves; the arrangements described would then apply to each of the keyboard sections.

Die Einrichtungen. gemäß der Erfindung können auch mit Mitteln zur selbsttätigen Wirkung (mechanischer oder anderer Art) verbunden werden.The facilities. according to the invention can also with means for automatic action (mechanical or other kind).
