ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for synthesis or imitation of sounds of musical instents wherein the partial tone structure is a function of the volume or intensity impression to be effected with a listener, and controlled by controlling the relative content of signal contribution in the overall signal of component signals in such a manner that the timbre of the resulting sound will simulate that of softly played (piano) or loudly played (forte) sound; in a system, signal sources representing the signal components are relatively mixed, for example by a control volume control, and applied to an amplifier; or a signal now U.S. Pat. No. 4,064,482, Maisch et al. source generating a composite signal including all components is connected to a plurality of filters and subsequently connected amplifiers of controllable pass frequency and damping (amplification) characteristic to synthesize the timbre of piano, or forte music regardless of actual volume of output.
