Patent ID: 8796530

Claim:
A musical instrument with an acoustic transducer, which transforms an excitation signal generated by at least one resonator of the musical instrument into an acoustic signal, and in which the acoustic transducer is provided with an adjustable oscillation profile, in which at least one target profile parameter is defined by a reference profile of a reference instrument, wherein the reference profile ( 1 ) is generated by the use of technical measuring means to record the sound of the reference instrument ( 2 ), and where the acoustic transducer ( 11 ), as part of a closed-loop control circuit, is connected to a difference former that evaluates the difference between the reference profile ( 1 ) and the acoustic transducer's ( 11 ) own characteristic profile ( 13 ), wherein the reference profile ( 1 ) is stored in a reference memory ( 7 ) which is coupled to a signal processor ( 8 ), wherein both the reference profile ( 1 ) and the characteristic profile ( 13 ) are each processed by the signal processor ( 8 ) as frequency response, wherein, after processing of the frequency responses of the reference profile and the characteristic profile, based on a difference between the frequency responses, the frequency response of the characteristic profile of the acoustic transducer is changed in the closed-loop control circuit in such a way that the difference between the frequency responses of the reference profile and the frequency response of the characteristic profile is minimized.
