Patent GB-1258853-A (GB)
IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 1970-10-05
Abstract: 1,258,853. Electronic musical instruments. J. S. ALLEN. 5 Oct., 1970 [6 Oct., 1969], No. 47206/70. Heading G5J. An electronic musical instrument for simulating a stringed instrument such as a guitar comprises strings 17a-17f held taut by springs 19 and extending only on the table 16, the vibrations of which are picked up by piezoelectric transducers 21, 22, and columns of touch plates 26a-26f comprising wire segments 27 which actuate tone generators when touched by a finger. The columns 26a-26f, which represent the strings on the neck of a guitar, may be tuned by means of knobs 14a-14f on tuning machine resistors 32a-32f. The collective tuning, or a simulated capo, of the columns is provided by potentiometers 68, 69. On touching one of the wire segments 27 on column 26f, a virtual capacitance is formed which is coupled to a series of resistors 31f which includes a VRF voltage supply at one end, provided by rf oscillator 30. This capacitance activates oscillator 29f which oscillates at the frequency corresponding to the touched wire. Oscillations pass through isolation amplifier 35f which prevents the loading of the oscillator by subsequent circuits. Harmonic content of the oscillations is controlled by balanced modulator 41f with capacitor 42f across its input and output terminals which may be varied by potentiometer 47f. Modulators 36f and 51f are responsive to the bowing or plucking of the strings to modulate the audio frequency from oscillator 29f, modulator 36f being responsive to transducers 21, and modulator 51f being responsive to transducers 22. The respective stretching and shaping circuits 53f, 57f may be varied to alter the amount of stretching. When no segments 27 are touched, a mating pulse due to the change in input potential of rf oscillator 30 is passed to the stretching and shaping circuits. The oscillator 29f may produce a sawtooth waveform, the harmonic content of which may be controlled by a variable symmetry chopper, instead of the illustrated modulator 41f and capacitor 42f. Tremolo or vibrato effects may be obtained by utilizing a control unit coupled to resistor 33. The variation in pressure on the wire segments causes a change in the input voltage of the rf oscillator 30 and therefore the voltage on resistor 33 which causes a variation in the tuning voltage of oscillator 29f, thus obtaining a vibrato effect. Control units may alternatively be coupled to the chopper and to the stretching and shaping circuits for special effects of modulation. The oscillations may be filtered after passing through amplifier 60 using a series of # filters.

In the first linear motor arrangement the coils can be on the carriage and an armature provided adjacent the track. Assume the carriage destination requires that the carriage be routed to the branch tracks 3a, 3b, then as the carriage arrives at position A-A the main track conveyer chain is disconnected from drive pin 13 and the field coils 4, 5 are energized to drive the carriage over the junction until at position B-B the carriage picks up the drive chain of conveyer 3. When the carriage has to pass through the junction on the main line the drive pin is not disconnected from the main back conveyer chain and field coil 6 may be energized to assist the passage of the carriage. In a second arrangement, Fig. 4, the rail support structure 17 is extended to accommodate the separate vehicle 27 which is driven when armature 26 thereon reacts with coil 23, similar to coils 4, 5, Fig. 1. A finger 31 on the vehicle engages the carriage 36 to route it to the diverging track. The current to the field coils may be reversible to reciprocate the vehicle 27 back along its track to a position A-A to wait for the next carriage to be diverted or the vehicle can be driven in a closed loop, Fig. 3 (not shown), back to the position A-A.
