Synthesiser with accompaniment and vocal-instrument processor. RU patent 2507607.
 Electric musical instrument / 2438196Electric musical instrument has a sound vibration synthesiser and contact sensors for controlling pitch of the synthesised sound. The sensors are in form of contacts formed by contact surfaces of the string core and the inner surface of the current-conducting outer casing of the string, also serving for protecting electric contacts from dirt. The casing is electrically insulated from the core by elastic insulators, and the strings are tied to the string musical instrument. |
 Synthesiser of musical instrument with physical modelling / 2364956Invention concerns musical synthesizers. The device contains the block of MIDI-sequences 10 input, the block of analysis MIDI 12, blocks of formation of parametres of a string 14 and a hammer 16, the formations of a sound related through the block 18 with the filter 20 and the sound-reproducing device 22. The blocks of formation of parametres of a string, a hammer and a sound are executed with possibility of physical modeling of behaviour of plurality of the strings weighted on a general deck, at excitation of each of strings shock of a hammer with the account stiffnesses, forces of tension of a string, dampfers position, and also masses, shapes, weight and material of a hammer, coordinate of hammer strike on a string. |

 Synthesiser with accompaniment and vocal-instrument processor / 2507607Musical device enables to create automatic accompaniment and harmonise vocal performed by one musician singing and playing a polyphonic instrument. The musical instrument has a linear output and includes a main unit and a chord recognition unit in which sound of the polyphonic musical instrument is converted to notes of the struck chord. Sound of a chord is generated using a tone generator. The device also has a first foot-operated controller for controlling the module of the automatic accompaniment and a second foot-operated controller for controlling the vocal and instrument processor. |
FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: musical device enables to create automatic accompaniment and harmonise vocal performed by one musician singing and playing a polyphonic instrument. The musical instrument has a linear output and includes a main unit and a chord recognition unit in which sound of the polyphonic musical instrument is converted to notes of the struck chord. Sound of a chord is generated using a tone generator. The device also has a first foot-operated controller for controlling the module of the automatic accompaniment and a second foot-operated controller for controlling the vocal and instrument processor.
EFFECT: extending of function possitilities due to using automatic managing of harmonic ports of the accompaniment.

The technical field to which the invention relates
The invention relates to the musical devices (devices)to improve the vocal-instrumental accompaniment of one artist, singing and playing on a polyphonic instrument (for example, guitar). Add to solo execution of the sounding of a standard set of instruments (drums, bass, and keyboards), and singing vocal harmonies, executable in the «live part of» additional vocalists or chorus.
The level of technology
Known similar synthesizers, consisting of ; block accompaniment; dynamic and spatial processing; vocal harmonizer; mixer allow to create instrumental accompaniment, and process and harmonize the vocals coming to the microphone input of the device.
Device TYROS4 Yamaha (patents of USA №.5231671, №.5301259. no .5428708, patent №.5567901 belonging IVL Audio Inc) allows the accompaniment of only using the keyboard piano type, which limits its application only to musicians playing keyboard instruments.
It is also known device harmonization firm TC-Helicon (U.S. patent no.2008/0223202 A1, as well as no.2010/0235166 A1, №.7933768), Voice Live Touch, which harmonizes vocals, in accordance with its guitar chords, adding to the singing vocal harmony, usually executable additional vocalists or chorus. A disadvantage of this device for a solo performance is the lack of implementation of instrumental accompaniment.
Disclosure of the invention
The objective of this invention is the realization of the possibility for one musician, singing and playing on a polyphonic instrument that has a line-out (for example, guitar), to manage the harmonic component accompaniment, manage rhythmic components of the accompaniment, and manage harmonizing vocals. To ensure control of the harmonic component accompaniment applies the recognition block harmony (chords) connected to the synthesizer (main unit), providing creation of a full accompaniment. For management of rhythmic components of the accompaniment is applied foot controller №1. To control harmonizing vocals foot controller is used №2. Foot controllers # 1 and # 2 are connected through the corresponding connectors for the main unit.
Description of drawings
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the proposed device.
Realization of the invention
Figure 1 shows the elements of the invention: 1. main unit 2. recognition block harmony (chords), 3. foot controller №1, 4. foot controller №2, 5. microphone, 6. polyphonic tool.
The device works as follows.
Consider the work of the device on figure 1. For control of harmonic component accompaniment, signal with a polyphonic instrument (6) comes a recognition block harmony (2), which formed a control signals coming on synthesizer (main unit) (1). Management of rhythmic components accompaniment through the main unit (1) foot controller №1 (3), and control of the vocal harmonization through the main unit (1) foot controller №2 (4).
Music device that allows you to create auto-accompaniment and harmonized vocals at the execution of one musician, singing and playing polyphonic instrument that has a line-out, wherein is introduced the main block and block chord recognition, which is converted polyphonic sound of a musical instrument in the notes taken chord for chord formation with tone generator, the first foot controller module control accompaniment and the second foot controller to control the vocal and instrumental processor.
