Definitions

  • the present invention solves this problem by making separate output terminals for square wave note signals unnecessary and accomplishes this by the provision of only one extra terminal over what is required if the package is to supply stairstepped waves only.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic representation of the complex wave keyer system used in FIG. 1 for supplying a group of 16 feet, 8 feet and 4 feet pedal notes or their equivalent.
  • the C portion of the circuit duplicates that described above and for convenience the same numerals have been used to designate the elements, and to avoid confusion, only certain key numerals have been applied. It is sufficient to note that the C clock terminal 100 is connected to receive a C 8 frequency at 4,435 Hz. For convenience the musical note frequencies C C etc., have been noted on the leads and on the keyer blocks 140.
  • the keyer block outputs 154 have been indicated as have the gates 170 in the 2F leads, these gates also being connected to gate control line 172 leading to terminal 174.
