Method and circuitry for digital-analog frequency generation

摘要

A method and circuitry for frequency generation, especially for electronic organs, in which a digital signal is developed by the actuation of an element such as a key of an organ keyboard. The digital signal is converted to a respective voltage signal and the voltage signal is employed to control a voltage controlled oscillator which supplies a signal corresponding in frequency to the actuation of the aforesaid element. An organ provided with a system for frequency generation according to the present invention can be operated monophonically or polyphonically and is capable of producing desirable effects, including celeste and portamento effects.
