Definitions

  • This invention relates, in general, to creation of a musical band imitation mode, of a symphonic orchestra, in particular, and the respective equipment according this mode i.e. utilising of replacing the real spatial setup of individual musical instrument players by special setup of corresponding electro-acoustical transducers.
  • the invention refers to the area of electroacoustics.
  • a mode of band imitation, of a symphonic orchestra in particular, according to this invention based on a solution, whereby multiple separate sampling musical patterns or musical patterns from various instruments by separate orchestra musicians recorded during independent recording sessions are stored separately on independent media in musical patterns modules, and managed through direct or separate control via MIDI transducer and computer control unit.
  • MIDI is explained at the end of this document.
  • a set of low-frequency output electric signals stored in modules with sampling musical patterns is assigned, during performance of system control, the respective set of electroacoustical transducers, in order to convert electric signals into sonic waves.
  • Assignment is based strictly on a pattern whereby each output signal from a module with sampling musical patterns is assigned a corresponding electroacoustical transducer. This rule is pursued in such manner that each musical instrument of a real band, of a symphonic orchestra in particular, is assigned a single electroacoustical transducer of the imitated band, of a symphonic orchestra in particular.
  • the control mode allows performing direct modifications into scores of individual musical instruments, such as changes of rhythm, score modification for each musical instrument, tonal colour adjustment, and removing or adding certain tones using the MIDI transducer editing facility.
  • the presented mode of band imitation, of a symphonic orchestra in particular will use equipment suggested according to the submitted invention to carry out its functions. That equipment consists of MIDI transducer with the input connected to a computer control unit and each output connected to the corresponding input of each musical instruments sampling patterns storing module of the band, of a symphonic orchestra in particular.
  • the MIDI transducer and computer control unit provided with appropriate software switch on a facility for replay of the installed musical patterns stored in each musical module, and reading musical patterns pertaining to each musical instrument in the orchestra, from CD-ROM. Another available function during this session is the control of a composition rhythm.
  • Each output of a musical pattern module is connected via dedicated wire to the corresponding electroacoustical transducer.
  • each electroacoustical transducer pertaining to the imitated band corresponds to musical instruments setup in a real band; symphonic orchestra in particular.
  • Each electroacoustical transducer assigned the role of a separate musical instrument in a band; symphonic orchestra in particular, should be capable of meeting requirements for frequency-range and musical output compliance. To ensure the required sound quality it will be useful if the acoustical transducers are fitted in loudspeaker enclosures.
  • this invention uses audio transducers and/or low-frequency amplifiers that are connected between each separate musical module output, storing musical patterns of musical instruments in a band, of a symphonic orchestra in particular, and corresponding separate electroacoustical transducers.
  • Another essential feature pertaining to this invention is a special setup of the electroacoustical transducers, whereby their control is provided with regard to both, vertical as well as horizontal axis and/or they are used in active mode.
  • Directional control of electroacoustical transducers within two independent, superposed axes is in fact imitating real musical instrument jerks during the orchestra real performance, allowing controlling the motions via application software.
  • Characteristic for analogical equipment according to the invention and its essential feature is also the possibility of connecting MIDI transducer to MIDI keyboard that may be used by composer or a musician for recording separate composition scores into musical programme.
  • a main advantage, inherent to this mode and respective equipment for imitation of a band, of a symphonic orchestra in particular is that the orchestra conductor, musician or setter arranging scores of a musical composition possess a powerful tool for concretisation of their rendition conceptions. Problems due to imperfect recording and flawed music reproduction, or those encountered while putting the musical instruments in tune may be removed and imperfections in rhythm reduced to a minimum.
  • a great advantage is provided by the fact that the setter may create new audio models and verify their practicability in the real time mode, which provides him/her with the immediate access to governing all available expressive elements of music, including agogics.
  • composition setter may thus become creator of every subtle part of a musical composition interpretation and may use the facility for editing, to the greatest possible detail, each musical instrument in the orchestra separately, influencing the way how any individual instrumentalist will present ⁇ his/her musical expressiveness to obtain the desirable effect. Whatever the conditions may be, the resulting sound quality will always be higher than might otherwise be expected based on used technologies.
  • Figure 1 shows basic configuration of realisation subject of this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a derived version that is based, to a great extent, on software-oriented approach, with a set of separate low-frequency amplifiers.
  • Figure 3 shows analogous version of carrying out the invention, by using electroacoustical transducers of active design option.
  • Figure 4 shows three-dimensional control of swivel applied for rotating of electroacoustical transducers.
  • Figure 5 shows spatial setup of electroacoustical transducers on a stage, while imitating the performance of a symphonic orchestra
  • This example of a particular mode for carrying out the invention describes the mode of imitating performance of a real 65-piece symphonic orchestra according to the presented invention, the essential functional principle of which is indicated in Figure 5.
  • This mode is based on a principle whereby the musical patterns modules 2L3 may be advantageously provided on a CD-ROM medium containing separate musical patterns of individual musical instruments. These musical patterns may be in the form of separately recorded patterns of each musical instrument in the orchestra, or just separate samples with various sound patterns.
  • the MIDI transducer unit 2 and computer control unit I provide the user with a facility for direct or indirect modification of musical composition scores and access to functions such as rhythm editing facility, tonal colour adjustment, replacing, removing or adding separate instruments, including adding or removing an entire symphonic orchestra.
  • functions such as rhythm editing facility, tonal colour adjustment, replacing, removing or adding separate instruments, including adding or removing an entire symphonic orchestra.
  • rhythm editing facility tonal colour adjustment
  • replacing, removing or adding separate instruments including adding or removing an entire symphonic orchestra.
  • the mode of imitation of a real symphonic orchestra according to this invention was used as basis for realisation of equipment indicated on Figure 1 , for imitation of a real 65-piece symphonic orchestra.
  • This example includes description of essential electrical wiring connections according to the invention.
  • the equipment consists of seven modules designated from 3.3.1 to 3.3.7 with the stored musical patterns of a symphonic orchestra separate musical instruments, called also the samplers.
  • Inputs 3J. of modules 3.3.1 to 3.3.7 with musical patterns of a symphonic orchestra separate instruments are connected to respective outputs 2 . of a MIDI transducer 2.
