ABSTRACT:
A keyboard type electronic musical instrument which is provided with a keyboard having an arrangement of keys corresponding to an arrangement of letter names based on the scale of the equal temperament of 12 degrees, a sound signal generator for generating sound signals of frequencies defined for the letter names, first and second gate circuit means having gate circuits respectively supplied with the sound signals from the sound signal generator, a first mixer for mixing the outputs from the gate circuits of the first gate circuit means, a frequency multiplier circuit for frequency multiplying the output from the gate circuits of the second gate circuit means, and a second mixer for mixing the outputs from the frequency multiplier circuit and the first mixer. The sound signals supplied to the gate circuits of the second gate circuit means have higher or lower frequencies than the sound signals supplied to the corresponding gate circuits of the first gate circuit means. The frequency multiplying ratio of the frequency multiplier circuit is defined to have the value of the ratio between a frequency defined for the letter name of the natural scale corresponding to the letter name of the sound signal supplied to one of the gate circuits of the first gate circuit means and a frequency defined for the letter name of the natural scale corresponding to the letter name of the sound signal supplied to one of the gate circuits of the second gate circuit means.
