Description

Musical instrument device

The present invention relates to a musical instrument device, which comprises a plurality of sensing units mounted on a platform. When the sensing unit is subjected to an external force, a corresponding signal can be generated, and then outputted to the sounding unit to generate a corresponding sound.

An electronic musical instrument or musical instrument device of the known art, such as a keyboard, a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) keyboard or a striking controller, which comprises a plurality of sensing units, that is, a touch button or a pad, which can be subjected to an external force bomb. Playing or tapping to generate a signal, and then transmitting it to the signal processing unit to convert it into a corresponding digital control signal, the control signal can represent a message such as pitch, velocity and shape, and then the digital control signal can be output to the sound source or The computer then outputs the corresponding analog sound signal by the sound source or the computer, and the mapping relationship between the key position and the sound position is analogous to the traditional piano key arrangement method, and the white key mapping to the twelve average law sound position includes: C ( Sound name), D, E, F, G, A, and B, and the black key maps to the rising or falling chromatic scale of the adjacent white key: C#(Db), D#(Eb), F#(Gb), G#(Ab) And A#(Bb), because the white keys B and C, or E and F differ by half a scale, there is no black key setting, which makes the MIDI keyboard unable to arbitrarily change the mapping relationship between the key and the phoneme, for example, the original Phoneme C of white key, The mapping order of D, E, F, G, A, B is changed to A, B, C, D, E, F, G, then the new mapping phonemes of C# (ie Db) and G# (ie Ab) are lacking. Corresponding black key.

Known electronic keyboard, MIDI keyboard or MIDI strike controller, the sensing unit of the force, that is, the arrangement of touch keys or pads is limited by the traditional single-row layout mode, or lack of the above-mentioned white key position B and C, or E The setting of the black key between F and F cannot flexibly adjust the mapping relationship between the position of the sensing unit and the phoneme, so it is difficult to fully respond to the needs of the music or the performer.

The present invention discloses a musical instrument device in which a plurality of sensing units are arranged in an in-line or horizontal arrangement on a platform, and the mapping sound positions of two sensing units which are adjacent to or adjacent to each other or adjacent to each other can be set to each other. The difference is a phase difference chromatic scale. Another feature is that it includes a two-dimensional array combination of a plurality of straight or a plurality of horizontal sensing units, and different specific sound positions are arranged in different sensing units to reduce the distance of the large jumping sound positions. Because the length of the controller is shortened and the sensing unit is tightly arranged, it can be easily carried and played quickly. And another feature of the present creation is that the relationship between each sensing unit and the phoneme mapping can be adjusted and changed according to the needs of the music or the player.
