Title:
ANALOG ELECTRONIC DRUM SET, PART FOR ANALOG ELECTRONIC DRUM SET, AND FOOT PEDAL UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/021503
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An impact sound from a first original sound generating unit (100) so disposed as to correspond to each part of a natural drum set is received by a microphone such as a pickup microphone, and a sound adjusting unit (26) adjusts the sound quality of electric analog signals from the microphone accompanied by no digital conversion. A reproduction is made by a reproduction unit (34) on the basis of output signals from the sound adjusting unit (26). None of operations such as a digital conversion, a signal transmission through a photo coupler, and selection and reproduction of sounds recorded in advance is performed. The time lag from the impacting action to the generation of played sound is not sensed, and therefore the impact sound generated when the first original sound generating unit (100) is hit is used as the original sound to achieve the reproduction accompanying the delicate impacting skill of the player, too.
