Definitions
- the present invention relates to a chromatic tuner for musical instruments, measuring the sound frequency produced by the instrument to be tuned, and displaying on a watch magnitudes characterizing the accuracy of the tuning, for example a wristwatch.
- tuners In order to guarantee the correctness of the accuracy of the note independently of parameters altering the characteristics of a tuning fork, such as humidity and temperature, there are now electronic tuners, whose precision is finer to determine the frequency to associate with a note. These tuners contain on the one hand a microphone, converting the acoustic signal into an electrical signal, and a digital display device indicating the closest note and the accuracy of this note according to the detected acoustic signal and the signal. electric obtained.
- tuners are calibrated on a fixed reference frequency, typically 440Hz; others can however be set to a neighboring frequency in order to adapt the sound of the instrument to particular acoustic conditions, such as the resonance properties of a building or a concert hall.
- a disadvantage of portable electronic color tuners is that they are often relatively bulky, and the musician may forget them or lose them. Moreover, the digital display does not allow an intuitive reading of the indications provided, especially with respect to the accuracy of the note and the settings, both during the calibration operation and during the tuning itself. There is therefore a need for a chromatic tuner free of these limitations of the prior art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a chromatic tuner built into a portable device regularly available to musicians.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a chromatic tuner that allows easier reading and tuning of the frequencies obtained during tuning and the calibration frequency.
- An advantage of the proposed solution is to allow the integration of a chromatic tuner in a watch, which allows musicians who need a tuner not to require instruments apart, and to have moreover this tool at hand almost continuously, as often as the watch that contains it is worn.
- Another advantage of the proposed solution is to allow an easier reading of the results of the tuning with the needles of the watch on which the tuner is integrated.

- Figure 2 is a block diagram of the detection of notes and their accuracy according to the chromatic tuner of the invention
- FIG. 3 illustrates a view of a watch with integrated chromatic tuner according to a preferred variant of the invention

- FIG. 5 illustrates a view of a watch with chromatic tuner integrated with a display device according to another embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 6 illustrates a view of a watch with integrated chromatic tuner according to another embodiment of the invention, in which it is possible to calibrate the reference frequency.
- Figures 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d illustrate different variants for displaying notes of the temperate range.
- Figure 8 illustrates a variant for displaying the accuracy of the detected note.
- the invention relates to a portable timepiece, typically a wristwatch, but for example also a pendant, a pocket watch, or any other portable time display device, with an integrated chromatic tuner that uses one or more several hands of the watch, usually dedicated to the display of the current time.
- a timepiece therefore implicitly comprises a tuning mode distinct from the usual display mode hours, and wherein at least one of the needles is no longer used for this purpose.
- the tuner comprises an electronic module for calculating the value of the sound frequencies emitted by the instrument to be tuned, and this value and the accuracy of this frequency with respect to notes of a range, for example the temperate range (do, do #, re, re #, mi, fa, fa #, sol, sol #, la, the #, if, for which the reference frequency is that of the at 440Hz) is displayed on the timepiece.
- a range for example the temperate range (do, do #, re, re #, mi, fa, fa #, sol, sol #, la, the #, if, for which the reference frequency is that of the at 440Hz) is displayed on the timepiece.
- the Anglo-Saxon notation for the temperate range corresponds to the notes “la” the value A, “if” the value B, “do” the value C, “re” the value D, “mi” the value E, “fa “the value F and” ground “the value G, as will be seen later on the display devices according to preferred embodiments of the invention.
- Those skilled in the art will understand that it is conceivable to adapt the integrated tuner according to the invention to any type of range (natural, Pythagorean) and any tonic system.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the logical and functional elements of the electronic device 100 used in the context of a preferred variant of the invention.
- the electronic device 100 firstly comprises an acoustic signal sensor 101, that is to say a microphone, which thus captures the acoustic waves of the external medium.
- the received electroacoustic signal 10 is then transmitted to signal processing means 102, which transforms the electroacoustic signal 10 of the microphone into a pulse train 108, whose changes of state are caused by sign changes of the electroacoustic signal 10. microphone.
- the pulse train 108 is therefore a binary signal, as opposed to the electroacoustic signal 10 which is an analog signal.
- the signal processing means 102 consist of a filter 1021, which eliminates frequency components outside a determined signal bandwidth.
- the signal 10 is then transmitted to an amplifier 1022 and a comparator 1023, such as for example a hysteresis comparator of the Schmitt Trigger type.
- the pulse train 108 is transmitted to one of the input / output interfaces of a microcontroller 103, the assembly of which is referenced by the number 1 for the sake of simplification.
- the microcontroller 103 also has at least one output for delivering a supply current 106 of the signal processing means 102, a battery 107, a crystal oscillator 104, typically 32KHz and whose frequency is temperature compensated and periodically corrected by inhibition.
- the microcontroller 103 also incorporates an RC oscillator 105 preferably of 4 MHz, which makes it possible to switch the clock of the processor 1 13 of the microcontroller 103 to a faster frequency when long calculations or rapid measurements have to be made, mainly during the first time. activation of the tuner function.
- the electronic device 100 also comprises user interface means 1 12, consisting, for example, according to the preferred embodiments of the invention illustrated in particular by FIGS. 3 and 4, in push buttons (referenced 16, 17, 18 in these figures).
- user interface means January 12 may also consist of a crown rod (referenced for example in Figures 5 to 7 by the number 9), or a touch screen, the latter variant is however not illustrated.
- These user interface means 1 12 can interact with the user including to request a change of mode, make adjustments and validate these settings, as will be seen later. They interact on an input / output interface 1 15 of the microcontroller 103.
- the electronic device 100 furthermore comprises, according to the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, a motor module 1 14 composed of at least one bidirectional motor, associated with analog display means 1 1 1.
- the analog display means 1 1 1 comprise at least one independent needle for displaying information on the received signal, the needle being either hours 3 or minutes 2, as will be seen in FIGS. 7 which illustrate different display devices according to various embodiments of the invention.
- Timepiece 1 with integrated chromatic tuner includes fully analog display systems, or hybrid with partially digital display. These embodiments are respectively illustrated by FIGS. 3 and 4 in particular, which will be described later in this document.
- the motor module 1 14 of the electronic device 100 acts independently on the two hands of the hours 3 and minutes 2 of the timepiece 1 to respectively give information on the note identified for the signal electroacoustics 10, and information on the accuracy of this note.
- the partially digital display system the note itself is displayed numerically, and not with a needle, for example on a liquid crystal display (LCD), which is a digital display means preferred.
- LCD liquid crystal display
- These digital display means are illustrated by the reference 1 16 in Figure 4 in particular, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention using this type of hybrid display.
- These digital display means 1 16, however, can also provide other information, such as the accuracy with respect to the note identified, and this information can also be corroborated by the presence of one or more hands on the dial 4 of the watch for a more intuitive reading.
- Figure 2 illustrates the process of identifying notes and their correctness according to a preferred variant of the chromatic tuner of the invention.
- the RC oscillator 105 is first calibrated in a step 201, because the frequency thereof varies over time as a function of the supply voltage and the temperature.
- the calibration consists in counting the number of clock strokes of the oscillator RC 105 in a time window set by the period of a signal derived from the base clock 104 compensated in temperature. Calibration is carried out periodically, for example at seconds 3 and 33, in order to ensure stability of the frequency measurement of the acoustic signal. Oscillator calibration results in the correction factor to compensate for the frequencies determined during the note identification process.
- Step 202 consists in the execution, by the microcontroller 103, not shown in FIG.
- the identification step 204 of the fundamental period of the electroacoustic signal 10 is then determined by searching for a periodic relation between the elements of the series 234.
- the process starts from the smallest element of the series and then searches for multiples of this element while traversing the series in ascending order.
- Each element of the series is divided by increasing whole numbers until approaching the smallest element. As soon as an element of the series approaches a multiple of this smallest element, then this element is considered to be the fundamental period of the signal; if on the other hand no multiple is found the process is reiterated with the next element of the series until finding a periodic relation in the series.
- Step 2041 is to verify that a fundamental period has been identified, if so the result 24 is subject to the correction factor 25 to deliver the measured period 26, otherwise the threshold used in step 2031 is compared at half the value of the initial threshold, during step 2034 and then decremented by a predefined value, for example 10, at step 2035 to determine the new threshold to be used during a new iteration of the process of extraction of the fundamental frequency 203, which will thus repeat all the previous steps from 2031 with the new threshold.
- the threshold should be less than half the initial threshold after step 2034, the process of identifying the fundamental frequency 203 is completed in step 206, and no frequency has been identified. The process of extracting the fundamental frequency 203 is therefore failing at step 206.
- the multiplication correction with the correction factor 25 (as illustrated in FIG. 2 using the circled multiplicative symbol, designating this multiplication step)
- the measured period 26 is compared, at the step 207, with values of periods corresponding to musical notes, which are saved in the memory 109.
- This table 21 of musical note values makes it possible to determine, by comparison, the note the closest 1 1 discretely.
- the display of the analysis results of the frequency of the acoustic signal is done at least partially in a discrete manner, since the displayed result must correspond to one of the periods saved in the table of the periods corresponding to musical notes .
- This step 205 consists in determining the relative frequency difference 12 between the note 1 1 and the received signal 10, which can preferably be calculated as follows: "If the frequency of the acoustic signal is lower than that of the note 1 1 the closest, the frequency difference 12 is equal to the frequency of the note 1 1, minus the frequency corresponding to the measured period 26, that is to say its inverse (the frequency being equal, by definition, to the "inverse of a period"), all divided by the frequency difference between the note 1 1 and its note immediately below, that is to say in the tempered range of a lower semitone. The whole thing is then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage. For reasons for simplification and readability of the diagram of Figure 2, the intrinsic frequency of the signal 19, therefore equal to the inverse of the measured period 26, has not been illustrated.
- the frequency difference 12 is measured as the difference between that of the acoustic signal and the nearest note, all divided by the difference between the frequency of the next higher note, that is, the temperate range of a higher semitone, and the nearest note 1 1.
- the precision is indicated with respect to the frequency difference of one semitone, since the difference between the different identifiable notes is always a semitone. It therefore extends from a quarter of a ton to a quarter of a ton higher. This accuracy is preferably indicated by a percentage between -50 and + 50%.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a timepiece 1 according to the invention, provided with only analog means for displaying information on the electroacoustic signal received by the microphone of the integrated chromatic tuner.
- the timepiece is here a wristwatch provided with a minute hand 2 and hours 3, which constitute the analog display means 1 1 1 mentioned above and illustrated in Figure 1.
- the watch is also provided with a bezel 5 and a dial 4, at the edge of which is a scale of notes 6, consisting of the notes Ab, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb and G which make up the 12 notes of the temperate scale, one for each semitone.
- the display mode chosen according to this variant is chosen in flat, it is possible however also to consider the display of all the notes in hash (#), in which case the scale 6 would read G #, A, A #, B, C, C #, D, D #, E, F, F #, G. It can be seen that the scale of the notes 6 includes a blank flag 61, which indicates that no notes could be identified. This indicator 61 will thus be used when step 206, illustrated in FIG. 2, has been performed; it can also be on a position of the dial 4, or the telescope 5, independent of the one used for the scale of the notes 6.
- the scale of the notes 6 is arranged opposite the minute hand 2, at the periphery of the dial 4, on the lower half-dial corresponding to the hours 3 to 9.
- the hour hand 3 is here used to give the frequency differential 12 between the note and the electroacoustic signal received.
- the display device comprises an indicator of the correctness of the notes 7, constituted here by the graduations opposite which the hour hand 3 is positioned in the tuning mode of the watch.
- the indicator makes it possible to display a tone ranging from a quarter of a tone less than a quarter of a tone higher than the nearest note 1 1, and also allows an intuitive reading of this accuracy thanks to the correspondence of the size of the hour hand. 3 which moves next to the graduations, which preferably extend in the upper half-dial of the watch, from nine o'clock to three o'clock, so as not to superimpose information in relation to that given on the height of the note. .
- the information on the pitch of the nearest note 1 1 and the accuracy of the note are thus totally disjoint.
- the indication of the accuracy by the hour hand is preferably on an arc whose angular value is preferably slightly less than 180 degrees, preferably around 120 degrees as shown in FIG. 3.
- the values of the percentages of maximum deviation plus or minus 50% are indicated inside the arc of circle formed by the graduations which form the indicator 7.
- the indicator 7 in the form of a color scale varying around the green corresponding to a right note, and whose edges are red to indicate that the sound is false.
- this gradual indicator of color in the form of a circular arc whose one end is fine, and the other thick, in the manner of an eyebrow. In this case, the pointed end would correspond to a note too low, and the thick end of the eyebrow would correspond to a note too acute.
- the embodiment of Figure 3 further illustrates a target zone 8 with respect to the frequency of the note 1 1 nearest.
- This target zone 8 indicated for example by a very thick graduation of a different color, for example green to indicate intuitively the accuracy, is preferably centered with respect to the dial 4 and indicates that the frequency of the acoustic signal is in a range values sufficiently close to the desired note, for example less than 3%, to no longer justify an additional agreement.
- This target zone is preferably in the middle of the graduations of the indicator 7 of the accuracy of the note, but could also be outside the arc formed by the graduations.
- FIG. 3 also shows three pushbuttons: the first 16 being used for incrementing values and the second 16 for decrementing values, for example calibration values 14, as will be seen in more detail in FIG. FIG. 6.
- the last pushbutton 18 illustrated in FIG. 3 is preferably used for mode switching, in particular for entering the tuning mode, which can for example be activated by a prolonged pressure of more than two seconds, in order to avoid accidental tripping of the calibration mode, on the one hand because it uses the hands and therefore does not display the time simultaneously, and secondly because this mode is energy-hungry since it must feed the microphone and the microcontroller 103 must perform many calculations heavily using its base clock or CPU (CPU) 104.
- This button can also be e used preferably to validate settings, such as the values used for calibration. We can imagine that the entry in the tuning mode can be validated by the positioning of the two hands minutes and hours, superimposed at noon on the dial 4 of the watch.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a dial of a timepiece 1 according to the invention, for example a wristwatch, which is provided with hybrid display means, that is to say both digital and analogue.
- the analog display means 1 1 1 are always constituted by the hands of the hours 2 and minutes 3, but this time these analog means 1 1 1 are only used to indicate the accuracy of the notes, that is to say the frequency difference 12 relative to the nearest note, while the height of the nearest note 1 1 is displayed digitally on an LCD screen, which is the means of display digital 1 16 16.
- These digital display means 1 16 indicate, according to Figure 4, that the note Eb has been identified; the needles 2 and 3 are superimposed and point to the value -44% of the graduations of an indicator 7 located in the upper half of the dial 4.
- a target zone 8 is located in the middle of the graduations of the indicator, similarly to in the analog embodiment of Figure 3.
- the digital display means 1 16 can display the rightness information redundantly, here on the left of note 1 1 indicated.
- the LCD screen thus replaces not only the scale of the notes 6 of the totally analog variant described above, but also makes it possible to simultaneously indicate additional or even redundant information on the electroacoustic signal received by the signal sensor. 101.
- the additional information indicated by the digital display means 1 16 could be the pitch, that is to say the reference frequency used for the frequency measurement of the notes, when it can be set on a frequency other than the usual LA frequency at 440Hz.
- these means are located in the lower part of the dial 4 and below the needles 2 and 3 when used in tuning mode to indicate the accuracy of the note 1 1 nearest.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment similar to that of FIG. 3, that is to say that the display is totally analog, performed by the means 1 1 1 constituted by the minute hand 2 and hours 3.. According to this embodiment, however, the intrinsic frequency 19 of the acoustic signal is displayed continuously by the minute hand 2, opposite a scale of the notes, without a comparison being made during the identification process.
- the minute hand 3 consists of what sort of a "zoom" of that of minutes 2, for which no discrete value has been identified. The reading is thus more intuitive, on the one hand, since the minute hand already contains intrinsically accurate information, in addition to the information on the note 1 1 nearest, and secondly it allows to save processing steps in the process of identifying the note, since the discretization of the value is no longer necessary.
- the indicators 7, target zone 8, scale of the notes are located identically on the dial; it would however be possible to invert the position of the graduations 7 and the scale of the notes, or to use a larger angular portion of the dial, for example 270 degrees or more, or even the entire dial to spread the scale notes 6 to better directly read the first intrinsic information on the value of the frequency of the signal 10, thanks to the largest angular portion available for the display of each semitone.
- the various buttons 16, 17 and 18 and their function are not described for this figure because they are in all respects identical to those illustrated in FIG.
- a more basic variant for displaying the intrinsic frequency 19 of the signal 10 could furthermore provide that the two hands of the hours 3 and minutes 2 are superimposed when the detected frequency is displayed and both point to a read value. sure the scale of notes 6.
- this variant requires that the accuracy must be appreciated by the user without the aid of any other indicator 7.
- FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of the invention, according to which the angular position of the notes 1 1 on the scale of the notes 6, this time arranged on the telescope 5 and not on the dial, coincides with that hours.
- the angular distribution is 360 degrees for all notes, or 30 degrees per semitone.
- this variant can be used both in the context of the display of the closest note 1 1, in accordance with the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, but also advantageously in the context of the continuous display method of FIG. Figure 5, thanks to the enlarged angular space for each semitone.
- the display coinciding between the notes of the scale of the notes and that of the hours makes it possible to substitute the information of the hours by notes, without losing however the intuitive character of reading in normal mode, while the tuning mode does not require any additional information to be placed elsewhere on the dial.
- the buttons have been replaced by a ring 9 to make adjustments and changes of mode.
- a significant difference between the variant of FIG. 6 with the other illustrated modes consists in the fact that the minute hand 2, which can moreover be superimposed on that of the hours 3, makes it possible to display a calibration value 14, which can to extend preferably between 435 and 445 Hz, for example according to the preferences of the user according to the acoustic context and the desired sound effects.
- the reference frequency 13 is calibrated by default to 440 Hz, which is its nominal value, and can preferably be adjusted downward or upward in steps of 1 Hz.
- the ring 9 allows a continuous adjustment of the calibration values 14.
- the calibration value is displayed on a scale of calibration values 15 placed opposite one of the needles 2 or 3, preferably the minute hand 2, preferably on the lower half of the dial, to leave room for an indicator 7 of accuracy of notes, similar to the previous variants described.
- FIG. 6 uses a ring 9 to adjust the calibration value 4, it is possible to envisage using pushbuttons 16 and 17, as in FIG. 3, in order to increment and decrement the calibration values. 14.
- the variants illustrated in FIGS. 7a to 7d are other possibilities of variants according to the invention, all of which have in common the arrangement of the scale of the notes on the bezel 5 of a watch, as well as the use of a crown 9 Moreover, all these variants use the minute hand 2, and not the hour hand contrary to the previously described variants, for displaying the accuracy of the notes.
- the minute hand 2 indicates the frequency difference 12 opposite an indicator 7 constituted by graduations on an arc of circle on the upper half of the dial, preferably centered at noon and extending on an angle included preferably between 120 and 180 degrees.
- Variant 7a uses the same scale of notes 6 as that illustrated in FIG. 6, representing the notes in mixed mode flat / sharp on the entire circumference of the telescope 5. This is a totally different display mode. analogously, in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 3. Similarly, FIG. 7b also relates to an embodiment in which the display is totally analog, the hands of minutes 2 and hours having the same functions as for FIG. 7a, but the note display mode on the 6 note scale is simply dual in relation to the sharp and flat, ie all notes are displayed, when a choice is possible, both as a sharp of the lower note or flat of the upper note.
- Figure 7c relates to a hybrid display mode, which uses a digital display for the nearest notes 1 1 of the acoustic signal; the bezel 5 can thus again include the hour digits instead of the positions of the notes of the variants of Figures 7a and 7b.
- the digital display means 1 16 are preferably an LCD screen located on the lower part of the dial.
- FIG. 7d again relates to an embodiment with an analogue display, the difference of which with the embodiments of FIGS. 7a and 7b concerns the arrangement of the notes on the telescope, the scale of the notes 6 being situated on the lower part of the telescope 5, between 3 hours for the note Ab (A flat) and 8:30 for the note G.
- the scale of the notes 6 is thus not centered since the twelve semitones associated with the notes follow one another without any indication is provided if no frequency can be determined during the identification process of footnote 20.
- FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment that makes it possible to display the accuracy of the note by using the reading of the relative position of the hands of the hours 3 with respect to that of the minutes 2, thus dispensing with a dedicated accuracy indicator 7.
- the closest note 1 1 is displayed by the minute hand 2 which points to a note of the scale of the notes 6, distributed here over the entire angular sector of the telescope 5.
- the accuracy of the note is then displayed by the hour hand 3, which is positioned in an angular sector of an amplitude of 30 degrees around the minute hand 2.
- the maximum deviance for the hour hand 3 is 15 degrees on either side of minutes 2; this deviation corresponds in effect according to this variant to a quarter of a tone, since each semitone occupies an angular space of 30 degrees.
- the accuracy of a note is thus confirmed by the superposition of the two hands 2,3 on one of the notes of the scale 6, here on the LA at one o'clock on the dial 4.
