Keyboard circuit and method for detecting keyboard circuit |
摘要 |
A keyboard circuit (15) of an electric music instrument includes contact transistors (TRk) having at least three terminals as input/output terminals for state detection for each of a plurality of contacts (14a, 14b, and 14c); and wiring units to the contact transistors (TRk) and the contacts (14a, 14b, and 14c). A selector (Sm) and the wiring unit for each of the plurality of contacts (14a, 14b, and 14c) are arranged to be divided into a plurality of layers in three dimensions. Then, the keyboard circuit (15) detects ON/OFF states for each of the contacts (14a, 14b, and 14c) for which the ON/OFF states change in response to a key-pressing operation for each of a plurality of keys (12) and for which at least one is provided to each of the plurality of keys (12). |

1. A keyboard circuit comprising:
contact units that are provided so as to correspond to a plurality of keys, respectively, the contact units having ON/OFF states that change in response to a key-pressing/key-releasing operation to the plurality of keys; elements that are provided for each of the plurality of contact units, wherein each of the elements has at least three input/output terminals and the contact units are connected to any one of the input/output terminals; and a wiring unit that outputs signals indicating the ON/OFF states of the respective contact units by supplying a switch signal to a remaining one of the input/output terminals of the respective elements, supplying a control signal to another remaining one of the input/output terminals, and supplying to the contact units the switch signal supplied in a time-division manner by way of the control signal. |
