For example, in the case of F minor (Fmin) on the lower keyboard, when the root note and the minor third note representing the chord minor are pressed, according to Table 1, the root note is sent to the adder 23 as "01".
01" is input. Since it is a minor, line B is selected in the multiplexer 28, but since the three NND gate outputs of 1st, minor 3rd, and 5th are connected to line B, the output of the counter 26 is "0000",
A pulse is given to the latch circuit 25 at the time of "0011" and "0111", and the respective counter outputs "000
0'', ``0011'', and ``0111'' in the latch circuit 2.
Store in 5. These signals are added to the root signal "01011", and the adder outputs "01011,""1000","
1100", which is a hexadecimal number, so convert it to decimal and get "0101", "10001, "0000".
It will be output in this order. This signal is F,G
It is nothing but the 3 notes of 4P and C (F minor). This signal is decoded by a decoder 30 and stored in a latch circuit 31, and its output controls each note name gate 32. With this structure and operation, to perform accompaniment, you don't have to press the 3rd or 4th key on the accompaniment keyboard, but you can play two keys, for example, the root note and third for major, or the root and minor third for minor. For the seventh note, by pressing the root note and minor seventh note, you can specify the root note and chord type, so you can get a complete three-note or four-note accompaniment note.
