Musical tone generating device with simulation of harmonics technique of a stringed instrument

1993 
A musical tone generating device is capable of simulating various special playing techniques for a stringed instrument in which the harmonic spectrums of produced sound is enhanced, or otherwise altered. The device includes a delay circuit wherein an input signal thereto is delayed and output; a closed loop circuit comprising multiple feedback pathways to which the output of the delay circuit is supplied and processed therein, after which the processed signal is returned toward the delay circuit as an input signal; an excitation device in response to a predetermined control signal, generating an excitation signal and supplying it to the closed loop circuit, such that the excitation signal corresponds to an excitation vibration in the stringed instrument being simulated; and a control device wherein the predetermined control signal is generated and whereby the delay interval of the delay circuit and the processing carried out in the multiple feedback pathways are controlled.
