Electronic Percussion Synthesizer
View pageUS Patent:
44185987, Dec 6, 1983
Filed:
Dec 30, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/335985
Inventors:
Scott S. Klynas - Simi Valley CA
Assignee:
Mattel, Inc. - Hawthorne CA
International Classification:
G10H 140
G10H 312
G10H 312
US Classification:
84 103
Abstract:
An electronic percussion synthesizer is disclosed which includes a plurality of pressure transducers, each representing a different percussive musical instrument. Each transducer is responsive to an external striking force for generating analog pulses, each pulse representing one beat of the respective musical instrument. The transducers are mounted to a synthesizer housing in a manner which mechanically isolates the transducers from each other. Sound signal generating circuits are provided which are responsive to the analog pulses for generating sound signals comprising the beat of the respective musical instrument. The amplitude of the signal representing each beat is proportional to the magnitude of the force used to generate the respective analog pulse. The synthesizer also includes storage and playback circuitry for digitally storing a series of pulses, each pulse representing a percussive beat; for playing back the stored pulses; and for storing additional pulses in an interleaving manner.

Scott S. Klynas - Simi Valley CA
Assignee:
Mattel, Inc. - Hawthorne CA
International Classification:
G10H 314
US Classification:
84 104
Abstract:
An electronic percussion synthesizer is disclosed which includes a plurality of pressure transducers, each representing a different percussive musical instrument. Each transducer is responsive to an external striking force for generating analog pulses, each pulse representing one beat of the respective musical instrument. The transducers are mounted to a synthesizer housing in a manner which mechanically isolates the transducers from each other. Each transducer is supported within a pair of housing portions by a resilient coupler maintained in compression between the interior surfaces of the housing portions.
