Definitions

  • the invention relates to a novel design of a multifunctional musical instrument developed on the basis of a pan flute, which, regardless of the length and material of the pipes arranged in a radius, can assume a range of tones freely selectable by the user, using integrated circuits internally and externally by means of microcomputers and one manually operated element as well as traditional handling, semitones and scales as well as string or string instruments can be intoned.
  • the instrument has previously unthinkable technical possibilities for panpipes allow a new quality of play with easy learning, so that too high quality live or studio music productions can be performed.
  • Panpipes have a long tradition in the folk music of the Southeast European area and were spread worldwide after the time of antiquity. Originally created as a shepherd's flute, usually made of natural materials such as reed or bamboo, it has longitudinal flutes of different lengths, which are joined together in an arc during development and for better playability - along their centers. It was inevitable that the pan flute was "discovered” in order to be integrated as a solo instrument in musical performances of larger orchestras.
  • pan flute which consists of up to 22 there are tubes arranged side by side.
  • the peculiarity here is that the traditionally different lengths of tubes from different, i.e. out of themselves regarding their Density differentiating materials are made. This will improve the quality of the Sound generation improved, but it does not release the benefit from having high manual Skill to learn to master the instrument.
  • the instrument essentially consists of a microphone for voice recording, one or several speakers, a body for electronics, batteries and controls for manual function assurance.
  • the device corresponds to the structure of a synthesizer and becomes Accompaniment of the human voice used.
  • the solution according to DE 39 11 836 Al offers an electronically supported harmonica in Combination with a synthesizer, taking pressure measurements in the combs Information about the generation of the respective tone to be played is obtained.
  • the "sonority" of the instrument in its defined present size can be optimized, but new ones that expand the musicality of this instrument Effects, cannot be achieved.
  • the harmonica which is mechanically retained in its structure, required.
  • panpipe modified in shape and size to create new and relatively easy handling, by means of internal and external integrated circuits, real-time evaluation and implementation of Signals for the purpose of increasing the volume of sound is carried out and at the same time streak and String instruments can be voiced.
  • the instrument which corresponds in its basic form to a panpipe, does not necessarily have a fixed number of tubes arranged side by side, the length of which does not have to differ from one another.
  • the number of tubes available depends on the individual playing needs of the user, so that a number of more than 27 is also possible.
  • the pipes on a system are arranged in a radius such that the contact points of their lateral surfaces form an imaginary common curve on a receptacle.
  • the tubes are unlocked at the top and bottom.
  • the pipes are arranged next to each other in their first third "Wind sensors" for registering air currents, which are the link between the Represent users and evaluation electronics housed in the handle part.
  • An analog filter bank receives the signals from the wind sensors and ensures that during the Recording the instrument a defined frequency spectrum is reached. This will then in the usual way by means of an A / D converter (analog-digital converter) to digital Signals converted, including a manually operated play lever Influences, the signals then in a microcomputer - housed in the housing the pan flute - to be further processed.
  • a / D converter analog-digital converter
  • Lever can change the usual tone spectrum of the pan flute, mainly by half tones, be expanded.
  • the first microcomputer which can also be referred to as a multiplier of the input signals, has several processing stages, whereby after passing through such processing stages as sample memory, envelope generators (one for each tube), the note manager receives the "raw data" of the note manager ultimately achieved - previously coordinated via the time controller to control the A / D converter used - supplied to the midi data generator, the latter converting the received signals into generated standard signals and via a midi transmitter interface, these are available to the second external microcomputer in real time in order to generate tones in real time provides.
  • processing stages as sample memory, envelope generators (one for each tube)
  • the note manager receives the "raw data" of the note manager ultimately achieved - previously coordinated via the time controller to control the A / D converter used - supplied to the midi data generator, the latter converting the received signals into generated standard signals and via a midi transmitter interface, these are available to the second external microcomputer in real time in order to generate tones in real time provides.
  • the second microcomputer receives the data through the midi converter for the simulation - as a central element - in two ways, e.g. B.
  • the Instrument pan flute can be adapted to nature. This means that a simulation of the "Mouthpiece” (reaching a certain volume by means of a more or less strong blown or blown air flow per tube) and the simulation of the air column itself in Real time, so that a natural richness of sound depending on the "Use" of the user arises.
  • Subordinate effect generators are used to e.g. B. to produce reverb effects.
  • Analog-stereo signals are transmitted via a D / A converter used on the output side provided, which are made audible via appropriate electro-acoustic systems.
  • the housing 1 of the pan flute carries up to 27 tubes of the same length, each with one existing wind sensor 2, which made of any material - z. B. also made of glass Tubes with the wind sensors 2 advantageously curved in relation to the Contact surface are fixed at a point on its outer circumference.
  • the analog filter bank 4 arranged downstream of the pipes with wind sensors 2 ensures that a certain frequency spectrum of the recorded tubes is detected, which the A / D converter 5 is supplied.
  • the AD converter 5 With the AD converter 5, the provided analog signals are digital converted for processing in the microcomputer 6, this in the range by means of the A / D converter 5 applying manual game lever 3 by generating half-tones one functional expansion takes place.
  • the microcomputer 6 contains a number of electronic components, whereby after passing through the Input signals via the sample memory 15, the envelope generator 16, with the Note manager 17 generates the "raw data" of the latter via a regime of the time controller 19 on the one hand to control the A / D converter 14 and on the other hand the midi data generator 20 are supplied. Via the midi transmitter interface 21 on the microcomputer 6 Output signals 22 via the midi input 23 in the microcomputer 11 per Data connection 9 transferred.
  • the main component here is the midi converter 24 - for that by means of the mouthpiece simulation 25 and the tube / air column simulation 26 in "real time” the natural sonority of a "conventional" Pan flute, depending on the intensive use of the pipes with the wind sensors 2 is achieved and in the sense of the inventive development of the aforementioned Instrumentation can also be the voicing of nuances.
  • the effect generators 27 provide a nuance of the virtuoso game, so that finally over existing ones Outputs, an analog audio output 12 or / and a digital audio output 13 stereophonic Sounds can be made audible.
  • the upper openings of the tubes are included for easier and more virtuoso playing Wind sensor 2 only beveled on the player side.
