Abstract

Anordnung an einem Tastenmusikinstrument, um ein elektrisches Signal entsprechend der Anschlagdynamik zu erzeugen. Mittels der Tastenbetätigung wird eine massebe­ haftete Blattfeder ausgelenkt, auf die ein Piezokristall ge­ klebt ist, an dem das gewünschte Signal abgreifbar ist. Arrangement on a keyboard musical instrument to make a electrical signal according to the touch dynamics produce. By pressing the button, a mass adhered leaf spring deflected, on which a piezo crystal ge is stuck on which the desired signal can be tapped.
