  • Patent number: 5526431
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device frequency-modulates a monaural original sound signal obtained from stereophonic sound signals, delays the resulting modulated signal by delay amounts different from each other, selects and adds up a combination of a plurality of delayed modulated signals to form signals to be added to the stereophonic sound signals, and outputs the resulting stereophonic sound signals.

  • Patent number: 5502768
    Abstract: Disclosed is a reverberator that comprises: distorted signal generating means for outputting a distorted signal obtained by distorting an input tone signal; predetermined frequency band signal passing means for passing a signal for a predetermined frequency band within a distorted signal; tone signal mixing means for mixing the input tone signal with the predetermined frequency band signal; and reverberation adding means for outputting a reverberation added signal obtained by adding reverberation to the mixed tone signal.

  • Patent number: 5444180
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device amplitude-modulates a monaural original sound signal obtained from stereophonic sound signals, delays the resulting modulated signal by delay amounts different from each other, selects and adds up a combination of a plurality of delayed modulated signals to form signals to be added to the stereophonic sound signals, and outputs the resulting stereophonic sound signals.

  • Patent number: 5432856
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device adds a reverberation tone signal to a monaural original tone signal by the use of a reverberation circuit, and delays a monaural reverberation tone signal output from the reverberation circuit by different delay amounts by the use of a plurality of delay circuits. At least one of delayed monaural reverberation tone signals from the delay circuits and the monaural reverberation tone signal are added up by a plurality of mixing circuits, and the resulting signals are delivered therefrom. The plurality of delay circuits are each constructed such that a delayed monaural reverberation tone signal output from one of the delay circuits and/or one from another of the delay circuits is/are input to the one of the delay circuits.

  • Patent number: 5430243
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device for imparting a sound effect to a musical tone produced by performance delays a musical tone signal of an analog or digital type by a predetermined delay time to repeatedly generate the musical tone. The predetermined delay time is set based on a basic delay time determined from the period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal received from an external electronic musical instrument. Alternatively, the period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal is determined from a basic delay time set for determining the predetermined delay time.

  • Patent number: 5424487
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device for imparting a sound effect to a musical tone produced by performance subjects an analog or digital signal indicative of the musical tone to reverberation processing over a predetermined reverberation time to add reverberations to the musical tone. The predetermined reverberation time is set based on a basic reverberation time determined in a manner dependent on the repetition period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal received from an external electronic musical instrument. Alternatively, the repetition period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal transmitted to an external electronic musical instrument is determined based on a reverberation time parameter used in setting the predetermined reverberation time.

  • Patent number: 5416265
    Abstract: A sound effect-creating device for imparting a sound effect to a musical tone produced by performance modulates an analog or digital signal indicative of the musical tone at a predetermined modulation frequency to impart a modulation (vibration) effect to the musical tone. The predetermined modulation frequency is set based on the repetition period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal received from an external electronic musical instrument. Alternatively, the repetition period of a timing clock of a MIDI signal transmitted to an external electronic musical instrument is determined based on a modulation parameter used in setting the predetermined modulation frequency.

  • Patent number: 5406024
    Abstract: An electronic sound generating apparatus which generates sound or recreates music performance according to the data included in a bar code. The apparatus includes a scanner to scan a bar code. Attributes of sound or music are assigned to parameters of control data for synthesizing sound or recreating music performance. Each of the parameters is given a specific value by the data included in a bar code scanned by the scanner. The resulted sound or music performance is provided with random, accidental, and unexpected characteristics, and an operator need not perform inputting operation to vary sound or music performance.
