Descripción de la invención Description of the invention

El controlador de viento MIDI para instrumentos de viento de serie armónica, objeto de esta invención, presenta unas particularidades técnicas destinadas a permitir que un intérprete de un instrumento de viento de serie armónica pueda controlar un instrumento de reproducción musical por protocolo MIDI, tal como si estuviera interpretando dicho instrumento de viento con articulación de "soplido" en boquilla y digitación. The MIDI wind controller for harmonic series wind instruments, object of this invention, presents technical particularities intended to allow an interpreter of a harmonic series wind instrument to control a musical reproduction instrument by MIDI protocol, as if I was interpreting this wind instrument with "blow" articulation in mouthpiece and fingering.

Así, el controlador de viento MIDI para un instrumento de viento de serie armónica objeto de la invención comprende un dispositivo de configuración y comunicación MIDI y un simulador del instrumento de viento que comprende una carcasa con unos sensores de digitación configurados para detectar la posición de unos medios de digitación de disposición análoga a los del instrumento de viento ( es decir de un instrumento convencional). El simulador comprende una boquilla con un conducto de paso de un flujo de aire impelido por la articulación del intérprete y unos medios de detección de flujo para detectar el citado flujo de aire y porque el dispositivo de configuración y comunicaciones MIDI puede determinar las notas y efectos ejecutados por el interprete a partir del flujo de aire y de la posición de los medios de digitación, obtenidos por los medios de detección de flujo y sensores de digitación. Con esta boquilla se consigue que el controlador pueda determinar la nota ejecutada por el intérprete y diferenciar las notas que siendo diferentes se ejecutan con una misma digitación. Con esta configuración el controlador permite determinar las notas y efectos de forma idéntica a la interpretación en un instrumento de viento acústico convencional, permitiendo así controlar un secuenciador, módulo de sonido u ordenador en el que se está reproduciendo la ejecución con cualquier tipo de instrumento, al igual que se hace con los pianos controladores MIDI. Thus, the MIDI wind controller for a harmonic series wind instrument object of the invention comprises a MIDI configuration and communication device and a wind instrument simulator comprising a housing with fingering sensors configured to detect the position of some fingering means of arrangement similar to those of the wind instrument (ie of a conventional instrument). The simulator comprises a nozzle with a passage of a flow of air impelled by the articulation of the interpreter and a means of detection of flow to detect said air flow and because the MIDI configuration and communications device can determine the notes and effects executed by the interpreter from the air flow and the position of the fingering means, obtained by the flow detection means and fingering sensors. With this nozzle it is possible that the controller can determine the note executed by the interpreter and differentiate the notes that being different are executed with the same fingering. With this configuration the controller allows to determine the notes and effects in an identical way to the interpretation in a conventional acoustic wind instrument, thus allowing to control a sequencer, sound module or computer in which the performance is being played with any type of instrument, as is done with MIDI controller pianos.


En una realización preferente se ha previsto que los medios de detección de flujo comprenden un sensor de presión asociado a una cánula enfrentada al flujo de entrada de aire en la boquilla para la medida de la presión dinámica producida por dicho flujo de aire en la articulación de una nota musical..
