Patent number: 10937447Abstract: A harmony generation device and a program for the same which can generate a natural harmony sound are provided. The harmony generation device (1) generates first and second harmony tones to which a voice input through a microphone (M) is shifted in pitch by first and second shift amounts calculated based on both the voice input through the microphone (M) and a chord determined from performance information of an electric guitar (G) input through an input device (34). That is, since the first and second harmony tones can be tones based on the chord of the electric guitar (G) that changes from moment to moment, the harmony sound obtained by mixing the first and second harmony tones with the voice input through the microphone (M) can be a natural harmony sound that is rich in variation according to the chord of the electric guitar (G).Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Roland CorporationInventors: Hideyuki Mamori, Masayuki Nakayama, Hideaki Shiraishi

Patent number: 8455748Abstract: A pitch detection device in which a frequency can be lowered after having maintained both a pitch error accuracy and a response time at practical values to reduce current consumption. Because a number of times of cumulative addition is changed in response to a pitch of a measured signal, a cumulative addition time sum equals or exceeds a constant T_SUM_MIN. Accordingly, a pitch error accuracy of the measured signal achieves a required error accuracy. Furthermore, a frequency of the clock signal is decided using a numerical formula (6) and a numerical formula (7) so that the constant T_SUM_MIN does not exceed a required response time. Accordingly, a response time is within the required response time regardless of whether the frequency of the measured signal is lowered.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Roland CorporationInventor: Masayuki Nakayama

Patent number: 6411457Abstract: In a recording/reproduction apparatus, when a rotational-speed-mode setting instruction is received from an I/F unit, a CPU reads out a control procedure from a storage device, controlling other components in accordance with the procedure. As a result, a node switch driving circuit controls field windings of a pulse motor to a switching sequence, driving the pulse motor to rotation at a predetermined rotational speed. Since the control is feedback control, the pulse motor rotates at the predetermined rotational speed specified by an instruction setting a rotational-speed mode with a high degree of reliability. Data can thus be recorded into and reproduced from a magnetic disk at a variable speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Keitaro Yamashita, Kanzo Okada, Shunji Okada, Masayuki Nakayama, Minoru Watanabe

Patent number: 5861876Abstract: A position detecting apparatus includes a ball on which dots are magnetically recorded so as to form a repetitive pattern (dot pattern) provided at a front end portion of a pen-type case and a magnetic head 4 having detecting elements arranged in a matrix form to detect the repetitive pattern and to output position detection information corresponding to the detection result. Because the dot pattern is magnetically recorded on the ball, it is possible to precisely record the dot pattern on a ball having a diameter of the several mm, and the position detecting apparatus can become compact through miniaturization of the ball. In addition, abrasion by friction, etc. of dot pattern can be prevented by the magnetic recording thereby contributing to detection of a precise dot pattern. Such a dot pattern also may be magneto-optically recorded. In addition, a second ball in contact with the first ball and having a portion exposed to the external portion of the case may be preferably provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1995Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Masayuki Nakayama

Patent number: 5187529Abstract: A device for collecting a carrier in an image developing apparatus upon developing with a two-component developer, wherein a carrier collecting magnet roll having an insulator surface thereon and a rotatable magnet portion therein, is positioned close to a photosensitive material, contacted by a scraper at the surface thereof, and driven by a driving motor, so that the carrier gathering on the roll even at the ends thereof does not cause any grounding of the developing bias applied to the developing apparatus due to the insulator surface of the roll. It is therefore possible to achieve a drastically improvement in printing quality.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1989Date of Patent: February 16, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masayuki Nakayama
