Definitions

  • the invention is related to the chromatic keyboard of musical instruments as organ with manuals and pedal, piano, harmonium, harpsichord, accordion, celesta, electric, electrofonic and electronic keyboard instruments and others, as well as a keyboard connected to a computer for the purpose of playing music or the execution of notographic work.
  • the invention belongs to the production field, usage and eventually redesign of keyboard musical instruments.
  • Button keyboards arranged from three to six lines enable to reduce the number of different fingering sets to three, two or even one. These keyboards, especially of advantage in some cases for both manuals of modern accordions, did not find way to instruments of piano type. Besides that they can not be utilized in organ pedal.
  • the essence of the invention is also the creation of a half-tone chromatic keyboard consisting of keys of the lower position and the keys of the upper position thereby that between the neighbouring keys there is a half-tone interval.
  • the keys of the upper position are set in wholes between the keys of the lower position. Since the tones corresponding to neighbouring keys at a range of a half-tone interval, a half-tone chromatic keyboard is created.
  • the advantage of the chromatic keyboard in musical instruments is, according to the invention, in the regularity of the alternating arrangement of the keys of the lower and upper positions which enables to create and to utilize in playing two fingering systems only.
  • Fig.1 shows the arrangement of keys in the chromatic keyboard in musical instruments seen from above.
  • Fig.2 shows the side view on the keys of the lower line and the keys of the upper line.
  • Fig.3 there is the front view of the chromatic keyboard in musical instruments according to invention.
  • a chromatic keyboard in a new musical instrument will be represented in the view from above shown in Fig.1. It consists of the keys of the 1 lower positions and the keys of the 2_upper position.
  • the mutual arrangement of the keys of the 1 lower position and the keys of the 2 upper position is such that the keys of the 1 lower position are alterating regularly the keys of the 2 upper position.
  • Practically the keys of the 2_upper position are placed in the wholes of the keys of the 1_lower position.
  • the length of the keys of the 1 lower position is greater than the length of the keys of the 2 upper position.
  • the width of the keys of the 2 upper position is constant and is smaller than the width of the keys of the 1 lower position, as it may be seen in Fig.3.
  • the keys of the 2 upper position may be from the upper side sinking to the level of the keys of the 1 lower position in that way as it is seen in Fig.2.
  • the result of such key arrangement is the creation of two quasi separate keyboards.
  • the keys of the 1 lower position have a difference of a whole tone interval. Thereby one whole-tone keyboard is created.
  • the keys of the 2 upper position are also in a range of a whole-tone interval. Thereby the second whole-tone keyboard is created.
  • the constructional, form, design and material solutions of the chromatic keyboard may be adjusted to the ergonomic needs of playing and to future trends. From the point of view of the visual orientation of the player it is desirable to differentiate the keys of the chromatic keyboard for tones, e.g.: c and f.
  • the keys for the tones e.g.: c and fis will have elements of different form for differentiation by touching. It is also possible to place the keys for the c tones for instance in the line of keys of the 1 lower position.
  • musical instruments as e.g.: chine-bells, xylophone, vibraphone, xylorimba and other; and this by the arrangement of playing elements according to the principles of the chromatic keyboard.
  • the equipment of a musical instrument with a standard keyboard and also of a musical instrument with chromatic keyboard with interface MIDI will enable by the mutual connetion of the instruments to utilize richer sound capacities of the instrument with a standard keyboard while playing the instrument with chromatic keyboard or vice versa, eventually in another way.
  • the training may be done in all form from the self-taught person to conservatory education and can start with the introduction of the production of musical instruments equiped with the chromatic keyboard.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un clavier chromatique destiné à des instruments de musique comportant des claviers et des pédales, tels que les orgues et les ordinateurs permettant de jouer et d'écrire de la musique. Le clavier comprend le nombre nécessaire de touches, disposées de façon que celles de la position basse (1) et celles de la position haute (2) se modifient mutuellement et alternent d'une manière régulière. L'existence d'un intervalle d'un demi-ton entre touches voisines donne un clavier chromatique à demi-tons, une octave étant constituée de six touches de la position basse et de six touches de la position haute. On peut jouer les gammes, les accords, etc., avec deux doigts seulement, un doigt pour les tons de base appartenant aux touches de la position basse (1) et un autre doigt pour les tons de base appartenant aux touches de la position haute (2).
