  • Patent number: 4351213
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for transforming digital data stored in a memory (18) into sounds is disclosed. The apparatus includes an oscillator (12) which drives an address selector (14). The address selector drives the memory. A note generator (20) generates an analog electrical signal responsive to the memory, and a speaker with its associated amplifier stages (22) produces sounds corresponding to the analog electrical signal.A preferred arrangement of the note generator includes an inverting amplifier which can simply be a logic gate (44) and a plurality of resistors (50) selected by switches (56) in feedback relationship with the amplifier.A preferred arrangement includes a duty cycle selector (80) to produce harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the analog electrical signal.
