Abstract

1,074,177. Arpeggio devices. HAMMOND ORGAN CO. Nov. 29, 1965 [Dec. 3, 1964], No. 50586/65. Heading G5J. In an electric organ notes constituting an arpeggio can be sounded rapidly under the control of an arpeggio keyboard only when a related note is played on the main keyboard. The arpeggio keyboard consists of miniature keys which may be sounded in rapid succession, and attached adjacent the main keyboard. Fig.7 shows contacts 50, each associated with one of the keys of the arpeggio keyboard, while contacts 52 are auxiliary contacts on the keys of the main keyboard. Operation of main keys, e.g. CEG, prepares the circuits of corresponding notes on the arpeggio keyboard, so that sweeping a finger rapidly over the arpeggio keyboard sounds all the notes CEG in succession. Different relations between the arpeggio keys and the main keys are possible. One of the keys of the arpeggio keyboard (described with reference to Fig. 6, not shown) consists of an inclined member carrying a finger-piece; a contact beneath the inclined member contacting one of several parallel bus-bars 48 located beneath the keys. The notes may be produced by solenoid-operated members striking chine bars.
