Description

Stringed instrument playing device

The present invention relates to a stringed instrument playing device, and more particularly to a musical instrument playing device that uses a mechanical structure to simulate a live-playing stringed instrument.

At present, electronic music is widely used in the music industry. For example, most common audio and video reading products use electronic synthetic music. However, the synthetic sound of electronic music always gives people a feeling of "false", which is difficult to meet the needs of many music lovers. Picky demand. The live effect and the atmosphere of entertainment played by real-life instruments are the common goals of music lovers. However, the opportunity to enjoy the performance of real-life instruments is unavoidable, and the time and place are subject to many restrictions. The anthropomorphic performance device is designed to be used directly. It is a traditional instrument such as a guitar, a piano, or a drum. The instrument can be produced by using a performance device such as an electromechanical device to generate a string, a string, or a tap. Sounds, according to which to achieve the live performance of live performance; the advantage of this anthropomorphic performance device is that the music played is 100% of the original sound of the instrument, with the performance of the performance shock, the performance of the performance device itself is full of fun And the atmosphere of entertainment, and most of these anthropomorphic performance devices can be automatically played, which can be pre-entered and stored by a computer, and automatically controlled by a computer-controlled performance device without being affected by human factors. Playing for a long time, this is another advantage that can not be achieved by live performances.

The present invention provides a stringed instrument playing device that is simple in mechanism, small in size, and low in cost, and drives a plucking device having a plurality of picks by a set of programmable swinging elements mounted near the strings of the instrument. And quickly plucking the strings to achieve various speed and performance skills.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the stringed instrument playing device provided by the present invention mainly comprises: a programmable control swinging unit which is installed above the string of the musical instrument and has a driving shaft; a plucking device having a bushing The plurality of paddles are pivotally extended from the center of the sleeve, and the steering, the rotation angle and the rotation speed of the plucker are controlled by the swinging unit. The plucking of the plucking instrument string is manipulated to produce the desired sound and rhythm.

In particular, the programmable control swing unit is selected from a pulse motor, a stepper motor or a servo motor, but the scope of implementation is not limited to the aforementioned components.

In particular, the paddle is an elastic sheet, and its chord contact edge is one of a pointed shape, a serrated or scalloped shape, an oval shape, a melon seed or a teardrop shape, and the paddle material is selected from plastic. , metals, metal alloys and glass fibers, etc., but the scope of implementation is not limited to the above materials.

This will further clarify other functions and technical features of the present work, which will be implemented by those skilled in the art after reading the description in the text.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the following drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiment is only an embodiment for convenience of further explanation, and the present embodiment is not limited to the description.

The stringed instrument playing device of the embodiment is configured to be used above a guitar string group, and is mainly composed of a programmable motor 10 and a plucking device 20; the motor 10 is disposed on a base 11 and the base 11 It is fixed on the speaker 30 of the guitar so that the motor 10 can just straddle the guitar string 31, so that the drive shaft 12 of the motor 10 extends along the guitar string 31, and the drive shaft 12 is located therein. The upper position of one of the strings; the motor 10 of the embodiment is a stepping motor with a small size and high torque output and is programmable, and the steering of the stepping motor can be controlled by a pre-programmed pulse signal. , corner and speed operation.

The plucking mechanism 20 is pivotally coupled to the driving shaft 12 by a sleeve shaft 21, and a plurality of paddles 23 are radially extended from the center of the sleeve 21, and in the embodiment, the bushing 21 has three independent The paddle 23, the end edge of each paddle 23 can just contact the string 31 located below, so that the paddle 23 can rotate or swing together with the drive shaft 12 to trigger the lower string 31 to produce an audible sound; the end of the paddle 23 The contact edge is a flexible sheet member, for example, a picker made of Celluloid material, and preferably the end edge of the pick-up piece 23 has an elliptical shape or a melon shape to ensure the pitch characteristics of the plucked string.

When the string playing device of the embodiment operates, the motor 10 is controlled by a pre-programmed program, and the paddle 23 can be rotated or swung by the driving paddle 23, so that the paddle 23 can emit a specific sound according to the programmed chord line; The creation can adjust the rotation speed and the rotation angle of the motor 10, so that the picking piece 23 can accurately pluck the string to play the music beat, and can be controlled by the speed of the motor. The urging force of the plucking 23 plucking string makes the sound of the instrument string differently sounds (ie, the sound size), and thus the simulation plays such as: push string, overtone, point string, portamento, hook sound, vibrato... Wait for playing skills.

The scope of the request for this creation includes all corrections and variations within the scope of this Creative Protection. The present invention is not limited to the above-described forms, and it is obvious that with reference to the above description, there can be more improvements and changes in technical equivalence, for example, ideally, a plurality of motors 10 and plucking strings can be disposed on the susceptor 11 The device 20 is used to play the individual strings separately; therefore, any modification or modification relating to the creation made under the same creative spirit should still be included in the scope of protection of the original intention.
