Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for automatic Voices of a stringed instrument after the generic term of claim 1. It also relates to a method for automatic tuning of a stringed instrument after the The preamble of claim 8.
- the tuning of instruments generally requires in addition to one a lot of time, especially from untrained, For example, hobby instrumentalists, must be applied.
- the classical method of tuning "by hand” works the musician with a tuning fork, who by hitting sets the desired tone and adjusts by changing the String length or string tension the pitch of the respective String. By repeatedly striking the string and the tuning fork the result is adjusted until the desired one Mood of the string is reached. Based on this mood then the other strings are tuned.
- the system is very welcome insofar as it is a swift one and allows automatic tuning and so in particular untrained musicians, but also the professionals a high degree decreases in effort.
- the system has a not insignificant Disadvantage. It's overall big and chunky and requires significant changes to the body of the guitar, the on the one hand an influence on their acoustics (sound) and on the other hand on their handling (because of the changed weight) to have. Aside from that, the look of the guitar will also be in not insignificantly changed.
- the invention proceeds. It has for its object to provide an improved device so far, which can be integrated into an instrument, in particular a guitar, with minimal influence on the sound properties and with as few and small elements. Furthermore, a method for automatic tuning of a stringed instrument is to be specified, which meets these requirements.
- Claims 2 to 9 and 11 to 13 contain advantageous Further developments of the device or the method.
- the core idea of the invention is the components of the device (which in this sense are also called system can) distribute on the instrument.
- a guitar For example, not the entire device is placed in the body. So the head or neck also offers, albeit little, Room, for the (subtle) attachment of other components.
- it can be arranged on guitars on the head anyway Means for adjusting the string length or voltage, which is the use of special parts reduced.
- the guitar introduced fewer additional components become.
- the signal transmission via the bus line can, for example, via a conventional bus cable, but also wireless, eg. About Radio or infrared, done.
- control signals between the on an instrument part seated control and the at least one drive preferably guided over the strings serving as bus lines (Claim 2).
- the strings of stringed instruments are made in many cases of a conductive material (metal) or are wrapped in a thread of one. alternative They can, if the sound permits, with a conductive Be coated material. This solution saves the use other lines laid in the instrument body would have to be. Besides the sound characteristics remains therefore not least the optics of the instrument.
- strings are to be used as conductors, these are not electrically shorted together, have elements over which the strings are led together (for example, the bridge on a guitar) be designed so that they isolate the strings from each other.
- elements made of a non-conductive material (eg ceramic) manufactured or coated with such, or other precautions of isolation must be made be (for example, interposed insulating discs, etc.).
- the drive can be a motor, for example. Electric motor, he but can also work pneumatically or hydraulically.
- an amplifier connected instrument eg an electric guitar
- an amplifier connected instrument eg an electric guitar
- Control can do this in a simple way by hitting one Page to be addressed.
- An interface as provided according to claim 5 can, gives the possibility, from the outside - also afterwards - to feed software into the device. Furthermore, can via the interface different reference moods in the storage device can be entered to the instrument to be able to vote according to different schemes.
- An as proposed in claim 6 embodiment of the device allows a stringwise tuning of the instrument. It can just as well be used as a drive by appropriate gear or similar devices for Adjusting each one string is switchable.
- a development of the device according to claim 8 results a redundant system.
- the device can also malfunction a string even further to tuning the instrument operated become.
- the method according to claim 10 provides, as already stated above a solution to the above problem with regard to a It may be preferred with a device are operated according to one of claims 1 to 9, however not limited to such a device.
- Claim 11 describes how preferred the strings of the instrument can be used as bus lines. Thereby do not need separate cables or other means of transmission (Radio, infrared) are installed.
- a as in a development of the method according to claim 12 required processing of the first digital signal can be useful to reliably from this signal a pitch to be able to determine.
- a determination of the fundamental frequency (pitch) of the first digital Signal is preferably carried out with the aid of a mathematical frequency filter (claim 13). This allows in contrast to the otherwise common method of Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) a faster and more accurate Frequency determination from only one stop of the string.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transformation
- FIGs 1 to 4 is in different, partially enlarged Views an electric guitar 1 shown with a Device according to the invention is provided.
- the electric guitar 1 can be roughly divided into the body 2, the bridge 3 and the head 4.
- At the corpus are at the so-called tremolo system block 5 shows the strings 6a-6f with their first ends (Ball ends) attached and side by side on the bridge 3 to stretched to the head 4, where they twirl with their second ends 7 wound and adjustable are set.
- the Whirls 7 are mechanically connected to wings 8, so that by turning the wing 8 the end of the string on the vortex 7th or can be handled by this. This will the tension or length of the string changed and the guitar voted.
- pick-guard 9 is a kind of cover plate and under the body 2 a space is created in which the electronics of Electric guitar 1 is arranged.
- control chip associated with the device according to the invention arranged, which is indicated schematically in Fig. 2 with 10 is.
- Fig. 2 it can also be seen that the head 4 of the electric guitar 1 on the mechanics of the wings 8, for example. Via a transmission, attacking servomotors 11 are arranged.
- the Actuators belong to the device according to the invention and are in later to be described manner with the Control chip 10 connected for control. With the engines can alternatively to the manual over the wing 8 the vortex 7 is rotated and thus the tension of the strings 6a be adjusted to 6f.
- a potentiometer 13 is shown.
- electric guitars have several such Potentiometer for adjusting the treble, bass and the Volume.
- the illustrated potentiometer 13 of Volume control is the illustrated potentiometer 13 of Volume control.
- This special controller is for integration the device according to the invention in the electric guitar. 1 not as a conventional potentiometer, but as a so-called push-pull potentiometer, which is an additional Has switching function.
- Fig. 6 In the Fign. 5 and 6 is the tremolo system block 5 and are respectively on this arranged rider 15 to guide the in the tremolo system block 5 specified strings ends.
- Fig. 6 can be seen as the strings 6a to 6f through holes 17 in the tremolo system block 15 and with at their ends arranged thickening (ball ends) 18 at the bottom edge of the holes 17 are held.
- an insulating sleeve 19th used, which at her protruding from the bore 17 Edge is provided with an outwardly facing collar.
- the Contact thickening (ball ends) 18 of the strings 6a to 6f are in turn with those on the control chip 10 connected lines 14 (shown here as 14a to 14f) connected.
- FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d) On tremolo system block 5, those shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d) shown tab 15 attached. About these are running in the area the 16 designated rider inserts the pages. Of the in Fig. 5 (d) enlarged illustrated rider insert is in the tab shown in Fig. 5 (a) into that shown in Fig. 5 (a). used recess shown right. Since the riders 15 and the riding inserts 16 in an electric guitar 1 regularly made of metal and thus made of a conductive material, need to make a short circuit between over the wires 14 electrically contacted strings to avoid the rider inserts 16, over which the strings 6a to 6f run against each other be isolated. For this purpose, those shown in Fig. 5 (a) Isolated with 21 designated areas.
- FIG. 7 (d) shows a detail enlargement of D in FIG. 7 (c) represents designated area.
- the mechanical units are for adjusting the string tension consisting of the vertebrae 7, the wings 8 and the servo motors 11 once again released represented by the head 4. It can be seen that all these units sit on a common board 22, the Further controls for controlling the servomotors 11 contains. About the metallic and thus conductive vertebrae 7 the strings are electric with corresponding tracks connected to the board 22.
- the inventive device for automatic tuning the electric guitar 1 works as follows:
- the control chip 10 can now by striking one of the strings Commands are issued.
- the program to tune one of the strings, z. B. the e-string 6f called become. If the program is activated, the control chip loads from a memory a reference frequency for this string, which serves as the target frequency.
- the string is now optionally struck again, the actual frequency from the through the pickups 12 converted signal in the control chip 10th calculated and on the strings used as bus lines Signal to the board 22 or via this to the appropriate Servo motor 11 for adjusting the string tension to reach the target frequency sent. It monitors the Control chip 10 changes the frequency and gives on reaching the setpoint frequency a stop signal to the servomotor 11. In this way all strings can be tuned one after the other become.
- a routine for calculating the actual frequency from the The electrical signal of the pickup becomes a mathematical one Frequency filter used, as this is particularly fast and reliably calculate the frequency.
- control chip 10 different frequency specifications for the strings are given, depending on what kind of mood just to be elected (eg open tuning etc.).
- strings 6f and 6e are transmitted the tension chosen, given the low e-string and the a-string the thickest strings of the electric guitar are 1 and so on least tear.
- the remaining four strings 6a to 6 d can each of the control chip 10 any two as Bus lines are controlled freely. That way is the system is redundant and can still work at one or even two torn strings of strings 6a to 6d work.
- the strings 6a to 6f can change the state show the control chip 10 and the program flow and so on simplify the handling of the device. Also can here a "quick start" be applied, for. With the ad, by striking which of the strings 6a to 6f in which Sound which commands are called.
- the assigned to the commands Frequencies can be managed by the control chip 10 so be adapted to the current mood of the electric guitar are, that is, the user always the same string must strike with the same handle to retrieve a command, no matter how the guitar and therefore the string straight is correct.
- the power supply of the system takes place in this embodiment externally via the amplifier cable, with the guitar anyway to an amplifier electric connected.
- the Tonadersciens shown in Fig. 9 constantly monitors the internal resistance of the electric guitar 1. This is at normal play ready electric guitar 1 high. Now pulls the musician push-pull potentiometer 13, so couples the pickup 12 from the jack for the Amplifier cable and thus from the amplifier and turns off the Control chip 10 too. This reduces the internal resistance of the electric guitar 1 at least by a factor of 20. This recognizes the Circuit and switches the amplifier cable to one of the Amplifier off so that the electric guitar 1 "muted" tuned can.
- the circuit switches a supply voltage, which, for example, from the power supply of the amplifier, but even an external power supply can gain on the amplifier cable.
- This voltage is then supplied to the controller 10 and passed through the strings 6e and 6f in the head 4.
- the device according to the invention can work. After completion of the vote or, for example, the establishment of the Circuit or the application of new data switches the musician the push-pull potentiometer 13 back to normal position.
- the internal resistance of the electric guitar 1 rises the now connected again to the amplifier cable pickup 12 again. This recognizes the tone circuit according to Fig. 9 and outputs the signals from the amplifier cable again on the amplifier, the musician can continue playing.
