<p>A monophonic electronic music synthesizer in which keying signals are collected on common note busses and common octave busses. Tone signals from a top octave tone generator are gated by separate note gates controlled by keying signals on common note busses to select the note tone signal regardless of octave. A chain of frequency dividers fed by the note tone signal produce octavely related tone signals which are gated by separate octave gates controlled by keying signals on common octave busses. A preferred embodiment especially useful in an integrated organ-synthesizer system employs a low octave lockout circuit to select an active highest octave of actuated keyswitches and a preference gating arrangement for tone signals to produce high note select gating of monophonic tone signals. A D.C. keyed volts per octave circuit is also disclosed.</p> |
