Abstract

1393542 Electronic musical instruments D B PITT 18 Jan 1973 [24 Feb 1972] 8480/72 Heading G5S An electrophonic musical instrument comprises, in a body shaped to simulate a musical instrument, a first transducer for converting sound into electrical energy, a filter, a frequency detector, an amplitude limiter, waveform modification means and a second transducer for converting electrical energy into sound. In one embodiment, the body is saxophone shaped, the filter is low- or band-pass filter with a 3-4 KHz cut-off, the detector is of the zerocrossing type and the waveform modification means includes a frequency divider and tone colour circuits simulating a saxophone. The microphone is in the mouthpiece of the body so that humming into it produces a saxophone sound. Keys on the saxophone may be used to operate a signal interrupter and/or volume control or to select different waveform modification circuits.
