A polyphonic electronic musical instrument is provided including a keyboard, an information processing system, e.g., a microprocessor-controlled computer system, and a tone generating device. The processing system processes data received from the keyboard and sends note-on/note-off commands to the tone-producing device. The processing system groups keys of the keyboard into "key sets". Keys within each set occupy different rows of the keyboard. The processing system commands the tone generating device to effectively produce not more than one tone corresponding with each key set at any one time regardless of how many keys within the set are depressed. A key set may operate in "sustain mode," in which depression of a first key produces a tone which sustains without interruption as long as at least any one key of the same set is in depressed position. Alternately, a key set may operate in "repetition mode." In this mode, depression of a key as a previously depressed key of the same set is held down causes the tone of the previously depressed key to mute and another tone corresponding with the newly depressed key to trigger. The two tones may be identical. A mode select function is provided whereby the user may alternate between sustain and repetition modes for one or more key sets. The preferred embodiment utilizes a 5-row Janko Keyboard with independently-moving keys. |

Giorgio F. Curletto |
A double chambered bassboard housing for electronic M.I.D.I. accordion incorporating a folding control panel and a retractable keyboard. In a fully open position the instrument, because of its light weight and curved contour, is ideal to play and to perform with. Furthermore, all the push buttons on the folding control panel (in a fully open position) are readily identifiable because well within the view field of the accordionist. In a fully closed position the instrument becomes even more compact and therefore extremely portable for any mode of transportation. |

Thomas Yeh |
A bellows type toy tambourine with a bellows containing a space enclosed by two ring members. One of these ring members has a plurality of slots along its circumference. Each of these slots contains two round metal plates for giving metal collision sound by shaking while it is played as a tambourine. One of the ring members has a plurality of flues. Each of these flues is incorporated with a tongue so that different tunes can be given when the bellows is expanded or contracted to permit air to pass through the flues; i.e., when it is used as an accordion. It is a novel structure of toy instrument and a combination of toy drum, tambourine and accordion. |
