Patent ID: 7777116

Claim:
Method used to tune an electronic organ with associated air pipes, of the type that makes use of an MPI block ( 5 ) for the MIDI serial port that converts serial digital data from the organ ( 1 ) into electrical signals used to control electromagnetic valves of the air pipes ( 2 ), characterized in that it also provides for: providing a temperature sensor ( 6 ) in the proximity of a set of air pipes ( 2 ) and providing a sound detector ( 7 ) in one of the air pipes, both the temperature sensor ( 6 ) and the sound detector ( 7 ) interfaced with an ATS block ( 4 ) together with the MPI block ( 5 ) in an electronic device positioned between the set of air pipes ( 2 ) and the electronic organ ( 1 ); transmitting electrical information from the sound detector ( 7 ) to the ATS block ( 4 ) related to the sound generated by the corresponding air pipe when used during the execution of a music piece; transmitting electrical information from the temperature detector ( 6 ) to the ATS block ( 4 ) related to the temperature detected in the proximity of the set of air pipes ( 2 ); validating and processing of the electrical signal related to the sound of the air pipe by the ATS block ( 4 ) to determine frequency; use of the sound frequency value, in combination with the value of the temperature detected by the sensor ( 6 ) in order to create a temperature to frequency conversion table in real time timing of the sound frequency value by a timer provided in the ATS block ( 4 ) and sorting of the sound frequency value by the timer, after suitable conversion into a MIDI code towards the electronic organ ( 1 ) for tuning purposes; transmitting of data extracted from the frequency to temperature conversion table towards the timer that converts it said data into MIDI code and sends said data to the electronic organ ( 1 ) to tune the organ ( 1 ), if data about the frequency detected in the specific air pipe has not been received for a pre-established period of time; and automatically resetting of the timer, with consequence reset of calculation of the pre-established time period every time the timer receives the frequency value detected in the air pipe being monitored.
