Definitions

  • the system according to the invention relates to the programming, memorization and production of synthetic sounds adapted to electric stringed musical instruments and in particular to electric guitars (plucked strings) and for example to violins (rubbed strings).
  • guitars or other electric stringed instruments comprising a programming, memorization system linked to the production of synthesized sounds. Tests were carried out in the past, but were unsuccessful, the technology of the time was insufficient to produce the sounds currently sought by musicians, it used very bulky equipment which made guitars difficult to handle especially on stage and in the studio.
  • the system according to the invention adapts to programming, memorizing and producing synthetic sounds in a small space requirement for the electric guitar and electric stringed musical instruments.
  • it is equipped with memories, at least one synthesizer, means for mixing sounds and programming means.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a block diagram of a system for programming, memorizing and producing synthesized sounds according to the invention .
  • the system according to the invention comprises at least one magnetic sensor. (Micro ⁇ phone) 1, an electronic adjustment unit 2 comprising:
  • a timbre selector a RAM 3
  • two sound mixing blocks 4,5 a ROM 6, a RAM 7, a first sound synthesizer 8 and possibly a second synthesizer 9 different from the first, connected to the memories 6,7, a control console (not shown) and a source of electrical energy.
  • the memories 3 and 7 allow to store the selected timbres and sounds. Each tone is stored in memory accompanied by a corresponding address recorded digitally on the read-only memory and which this same digital code makes it possible to extract at the desired time.
  • the memory 6 makes it possible to program the instrument, it is intended to extract from a digital code displayed mechanically, for example by means of an encoder wheel, or electronically from a keyboard, the sound direct strings to combine with the sound of one or more other instruments to produce polyphonic music.
  • the possibility of reproducing the musical combinations selected is therefore a function of their memorization, of the memory capacity which can be extended by adding additional memories, or by recording codes beyond the memory capacity, on a paper file or on music fragments in the appropriate place.
  • the various electronic blocks and memories used are well known to those skilled in the art and therefore have not been described, the block diagram being sufficient to clearly define the system.
  • Figure 2 shows an extension of the polyphonic combinational possibilities on electronic musical instruments with plucked or bowed strings.
  • a third part comprising a random access memory 10 and a read-only memory 11, an electronic percussion generator (rhythm machine) and an electronic sequencer 14 as well as a recording and reading means 12.
  • This means 12 and the sequencer 14 are either incorporated or preferably external to reduce the weight.
  • the recording and playback means considerably widens the range of sounds usable by RAM, for example chords from other musical instruments, whether or not strings, as for the sequencer, it allows repetitions various chords while the musician normally plays his instrument.
