Abstract

The present invention relates to a string sound generating device of an electronic musical instrument, the conventional electronic instrument has a problem that the fine velocity adjustment that occurs in the string instrument, such as a violin or guitar that uses a string. The string sound generating device of the electronic musical instrument of the present invention is composed of a plurality of strings for generating string sounds, and a sound converting unit for converting the sounds generated from the strings to velocity, so that the fine velocity such as the performance of the stringed instruments when playing the stringed instruments There is an effect that can be adjusted, and furthermore, there is an effect that the tone can be adjusted using a tone select unit that was not possible with a conventional musical instrument.

The present invention relates to a string sound generating device of an electronic musical instrument, and more particularly, to a string sound generating device of an electronic musical instrument suitable for enabling real performance by adjusting the velocity (VELOCITY).

In general, an electronic instrument such as a synthesizer produces a variety of string instruments, such as a violin and a guitar, by using a keyboard. A key of such a general electronic instrument is illustrated in FIG. 1, which is briefly described as follows.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a key of a conventional electronic musical instrument. As shown in the drawing, a velocity measuring switch 2 is provided below the key 1.

The velocity measuring switch 2 is composed of a first half sensing unit 2a and a second half sensing unit 2b provided at a predetermined interval from the first half sensing unit 2a.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the player presses the key 1, the key 1 moves downward, and the velocity measurement switch 2 is first operated. The first half sensing unit 2a is pressed, and the second half sensing unit 2b is pressed behind, and the difference between the first half sensing unit 2b and the second half sensing unit 2b is sensed. Depending on whether you want to strike the keyboard (1) strongly or weakly.

However, in the conventional electronic instrument for detecting the velocity as described above, there was a problem in that fine velocity adjustment that occurs in string instruments such as violins or guitars using strings is not possible.

The object of the present invention devised in view of the above problems is to provide a string sound generating device of an electronic instrument suitable for enabling fine velocity adjustment of a string instrument.

A plurality of strings for generating string sounds in order to achieve the object of the present invention as described above; Among the sounds generated in the string, a sound pickup including a first pickup for picking up high and hard sounds, a second pickup for picking up low and soft sounds, and a third pickup for picking up mid and slightly hard sounds; There is provided a string sound generating device of an electronic musical instrument, which is configured.

Hereinafter, with reference to the embodiment of the accompanying drawings, the string sound generating device of the present invention electronic musical instrument configured as described above in more detail as follows.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an electronic musical instrument equipped with a string sound generating device of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a detailed view of portion A of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a detailed view of portion B of FIG.

As shown, a string sound generating device 13 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the electronic musical instrument 12 having a plurality of keys 11.

The string sound generating device 13 includes a plurality of strings 14 for generating string sounds by directly bouncing as shown in FIG. Among the sounds generated in the string 14, the first pick-up section 15a for picking up high and hard sounds, the second pick-up section 15b for picking up low and soft sounds, and the third pick-up for mid and slightly hard sounds It consists of the sound conversion part 15 provided with the pickup part 15c.

That is, the shaking signal generated in the string 14 is converted into a change in the voltage in the sound converting section 15, and the signal can be changed to the level LEVEL (ie, velocity).

In addition, by installing the tone select unit 16 provided with the selection switch 16a around the string sound generating device 13, the tone TONE can be freely designated and played.

Referring to the operation performed using the string sound generating device 13 and the tone select unit 16 configured as described above are as follows.

When the player wants to play the sound of the stringed instrument while playing, the string 14 is bounced while the key 11 is pressed. When the bounced string 14 is shaken to generate a beeping sound, the first pickup unit 15a receives high and hard sounds, the second pickup unit 15b receives low and soft sounds, and the third pickup unit. At (15c) it picks up midrange and slightly hard sound and converts the signal to velocity.

Taking advantage of the sound absorption characteristics of the sound converting section 15 as described above, when the selection switch 16a of the tone select section 16 is in position ⓐ, only the third pickup section 15c is selected, and in the position of ⓑ The second pick-up section 15b + the third pick-up section 15c are selected, and only the second pick-up section 15b is selected when in the position of ⓒ, and the first pick-up section 15a + when in the position of ⓓ. The second pick-up section 15b is selected, and when it is in the position of ⓔ, only the first pick-up section 15a is selected so that the tone can be freely designated and played.

As described in detail above, the string sound generating apparatus of the present invention has a plurality of strings for generating string sounds and a sound converting unit for converting sounds generated from the strings into velocities. There is an effect that allows fine velocity adjustment, such as performance, and also the effect that the tone can be adjusted by the tone select unit that was impossible in the conventional musical instrument.

Claims (1)
