Publication number: 20120031256Abstract: In response to detection of a note-on instruction, a CPU assigns a tone generating unit comprising two tone generating channels and sets tone color control data of the assigned tone generating unit into tone generator registers. The tone color control data includes a parameter common to the two channels. Once the CPU gives a tone generation start instruction to a tone generator, the tone generator accumulates a frequency number common to the two channels to thereby generate a progressive phase common to the two channels. Waveform readout section reads out left-channel and right-channel waveform data from a waveform memory on the basis of the phase and waveform selecting information of the left and right channels. Tone characteristics of the read-out left- and right-channel waveform data are controlled by a characteristic control section on the basis of a characteristic control parameter common to the two channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: YAMAHA CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki TSUCHIYA, Kazuyuki ITO, Masahiko HASEBE, Kouichi KASHIWAZAKI, Hiroyuki IWASE

Publication number: 20120033833Abstract: User is allowed to designate a desired mode defining the respective numbers of channels and mixing buses, and processing for mixing input signals of the number of channels corresponding to the designated mode is performed repetitively to generate signals for the individual buses. The time of arrival of the last step in the mixing processing for the number of channels, corresponding to the designated mode, is detected to output an accumulation result obtained at the last step, and new accumulation is started with a digital audio signal inputted at a step following the last step. Digital audio signals processed by a first signal processing circuit are stored into a memory and transmitted to a second signal processing circuit via a cascade-connection. The second signal processing circuit adds the audio signal, processed for each of the steps, to audio signals input via the cascade-connection and writes added signal into the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Tomomi Miyata, Hiroyuki Tsuchiya, Ryuichi Kawamoto

Patent number: 7651668Abstract: A material gas and a catalyst are introduced through a material supplying tube path and a catalyst supplying tube path together with a carrier gas into a reactor equipped on its outer periphery with a heat applicator for thermally decomposing the material gas. The reactor has a convention regulator fitted to the discharge end of the catalyst supplying tube path. The convection regulator covers an edge side of the reactor to regulate gas flow in the reactor so that the flow does not reach the edge side. Due to this, a convection state can be efficiently produced in a reaction region. Consequently, it becomes possible to prevent contamination defect caused by accumulation/adherence of concretion of catalyst, which was generated by aggregation of cooled catalyst in the low-temperature region of the reactor and a decomposition product of the material gas. Thus the efficiency of carbon nanostructure production can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignees: Japan Science and Technology Agency, Public University Corporation Osaka Prefecture University, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, Otsuka Chemical Co., Ltd., Nissin Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshikazu Nakayama, Hiroyuki Tsuchiya, Yugo Higashi, Toshiki Goto, Keisuke Shiono, Takeshi Nagasaka, Nobuharu Okazaki
