ABSTRACT:
Keyboard switches are arranged in groups of P switches, Q groups per set, and S sets per keying system. During a search cycle, each group of P switches is sequentially examined to detect a change in a switch state of any member since the preceding search cycle. A change in switch state causes system to enter an assign mode cycle during which a data word is created in memory corresponding to a newly detected switch closure, or is removed from memory corresponding to a newly detected switch opening. Provision is incorporated for coupling between switch groups and switch sets. After an assignment has been completed, system returns to a search cycle. The system is particularly useful in a keyboard musical instrument.
