  • Patent number: 4428267
    Abstract: A digital semiconductor circuit for an electronic organ has a plurality of control inputs addressed via a keyboard and corresponding in number to the number of keys of the organ keyboard, and a plurality of audiofrequency signal inputs addressed with periodic electrical oscillations by an oscillator system. Each control input is associated with a respective key of the keyboard and each audiofrequency signal input is permanently assigned with a respective tone frequency of the highest octave of the organ. The control signals serve to address the control inputs by the keys of the keyboard corresponding to logical levels "1" and "0." The circuit further includes a number t of divider stages in a frequency divider at least equal to a number q of the octaves in the organ keyboard. A number u of a plurality of AND gates in a given group of AND gates is greater than the number q of the octaves in the organ keyboard.
