108 Musical instrument equipped with a pedal, and method therefor US13742572 2013-01-16 US09087494B2 2015-07-21 Yasuhiko Oba; Yuji Fujiwara; Yoshiya Matsuo
In a player piano, a position sensor is provided on an end portion of a lifting rail for detecting a vertical position of the lifting rail. In storing performance data of dampers, a signal output from the position sensor and indicative of a vertical position of the lifting rail is converted into a digital signal, and a position value indicative of the position of the lifting rail is generated on the basis of the digital signal and stored into a buffer. A conversion section converts the position value into a vertical position of a pedal rod connected to a damper pedal, and the thus-converted vertical position is converted, into a control value which a control change message of the damper pedal in MIDI-format data can take. The control value obtained in the aforementioned manner can be recorded into a recording medium as performance information.

A signal processing apparatus subjects an audio signal to musical pitch analysis using different analysis techniques for the higher and lower frequencies. When an audio signal is input, a first extractor extracts a high-frequency signal, and a second extractor extracts a low-frequency signal from the audio signal. A high-frequency processor extracts pitch components from the high-frequency signal by applying the short-time Fourier transform. A low-frequency processor extracts pitch components from the low-frequency signal by dividing the low-frequency signal into a plurality of octave components. A synthesizing unit then combines the pitch components thus extracted from the high-frequency signal and the low-frequency signal and outputs the analysis result.
