1 TARIFF ANALOG EFFECTS THAT CAN BE MOUNTED ON AN INSTRUMENT. ONE TON OF CONTROL DEVICES Technical Area 5 The invention is a device that can be mounted on a musical instrument, derived from the musical instrument itself. Modifying the tonal characteristics of the received audio signal, phase shifting the audio signal and the application of signal clipping-based analog effects, musical instrument determining the tuning status and processing the audio signal to an amplifier. It is related to an analog effect tone control device that enables its transmission. 10 Previous Technique Today, electrical signals received from musical instruments To change the level and frequency characteristics, different tone controls and Equalizer settings are used. These settings generally have a sensitivity of 15 to the human ear. interfering with sound signals that it can hear, between approximately 20 Hz and 20 kHz. The audio signal is processed and categorized into different frequencies such as treble, mid-frequency, bass, and brightness. The characteristics of these regions are being modified. Fishman, Joyo, Artec, and Shadow various on-instrument tone controls and equalizers offered by brands such as These products are among the well-known applications of this type. These products include 20 mostly the frequency character of the sound signal obtained from a musical instrument and The focus is on adjusting the output level. In standard tone control and equalizer settings, bass, treble, midfrequency, brightness, and One or more of the parameters, such as sound level, can be adjusted by the user. 25 It can be changed. However, in a significant portion of these systems, the sound... There is no structure for applying analog effects to the signal or tone. Analog effects control and application are combined in the same instrument-mounted device. It is not being implemented. Especially the signal with phase shift-based Leslie or phaser effects. Clipper distortion effect based on clipping, along with tone control, is available on the same device 30 2 in instrument-mounted tone control applications known to be presented on its body It is not commonly seen. When an analog effect is to be applied to the sound signal obtained from a musical instrument External effect pedals are mostly used. These effect pedals are 5 It is not mounted on the musical instrument, but with the musical instrument. The signal path between the amplifier and the tone control is also connected. And the use of separate devices for analog effect application allows the user to understand the music. Carrying more than one device alongside your instrument and those devices This requires establishing additional connections between them. This is especially true in scene 10. handling, placement, attachment and individual inspection during use This increases the number of hardware components that need to be acquired. An additional device used for connecting external tone control and effects devices. Audio connection cables extend the signal path. Use interconnection 15 the cable not being of sufficient quality or the connection being affected by external environmental factors If affected, crackling, noise, or interference will occur in the audio signal. It is possible to achieve analog effects with tone control on different devices. This is achieved by increasing the number of connections and connection points. This can increase the likelihood of unwanted signals occurring. The user's 20 turning the devices on, off and adjusting them individually during music performance This reduces ease of use. In common applications, digital signal processing-based pedals are used instead of analog effect pedals. Effect devices are also used. Guitte, GGP-05 and Double Acoustic are among the 25 available. These devices are well-known applications that provide digital effects such as echo effects. It is among them. Some digital signal processing-based devices play music. It can be mounted on the instrument and can produce multiple tones or effects. It allows the parameter to be changed via the same electronic interface. However, using these devices often involves accessing different menus, 30 3 Switching between tone control and effect settings, and multiple options. The parameters need to be changed in a specific order. In digital devices, the same button or control element can perform multiple functions. It can be used to bring about this. Therefore, the user can, for example, effect 5. By exiting the settings and entering the equalizer menu, you can adjust tones such as bass and treble. you have to change the parameters through separate menu steps It can remain. Some digital devices have a separate, directly accessible control panel for tone control. there are no control elements or the depth of effect is unique during musical performance. It cannot be changed instantaneously via a potentiometer. The parameters are 10. Selecting and adjusting them sequentially within the menu causes a waste of time, and especially in stage use, practical control of the device It makes things more difficult. While the musical piece is being played, you can adjust the bass, treble, volume, effect speed, or 15. An instantaneous change may be needed to a setting such as distortion depth. Menu On digital devices based on the operating system, the user must open the relevant menu during playback to ensure accuracy. Finding the parameter and changing that parameter can be difficult. Therefore, in some cases the user has to wait for the playing track to end and The necessary adjustments may only be made after this. Tone 20 Features and effect features are directly accessible and independent of each other. The inability to adjust it via control elements affects the user's musical performance. This prevents him from quickly interfering with the voice character. In digital signal processing-based effects devices, 25 is obtained from the musical instrument. The analog audio signal is first converted into a digital signal. Effects and tone. After the processes are completed, the digital signal becomes a digital-analog signal. Analog sound can be restored using the converter circuit and associated filtering scheme. It is converted into a signal. Analog to digital and digital to analog. The aforementioned conversion and filtering processes are carried out on analog and digital 30 4 Perceptible tonal differences occur between processing methods. This can cause certain frequencies of the audio signal to be affected during these processes. The components can be affected, and the resulting sound character can be directly processed using analog processing. The resulting sound character may differ. In standard instrument-mounted tone control devices, the tuning of the musical instrument is determined. While there may be a tuning circuit that determines its state, tone control is a separate process. Two separately adjustable analog effects and tuning functions on the same instrument body. Bringing them together in a way that is directly accessible to the user is common practice. Not provided. The user has separate control over bass, treble, and volume levels. 10 with its elements, the speed of the Leslie or phaser effect can be adjusted with a separate potentiometer and The distortion depth of the Clipper effect can be adjusted with another potentiometer. An integrated structure that allows for adjustment is sufficient in known applications. It is not presented in this way. Similarly, the applied analog effect or any The plain working state with no effects applied can be controlled with a single button. 15 The need for selection and the indication of the selected status with separate illuminated indicators is sufficient. It is not being met in this way. In known tuning systems, the note and frequency deviation determined are given to the user. While it is possible to show the note names as la, si, do, re, mi, fa and sol 20 Showing it in Turkish as such, the relevant frequency is represented as the target note frequency. reporting whether it is low, appropriate or high with separate indicators and sharps The information is presented along with the relevant musical notation indicator on every device. This is not provided. This situation makes tuning difficult for musicians who use Turkish note names. This can make it difficult for him to evaluate the information quickly and easily. Tuning 25 its function is on the same instrument panel as the tone and analog effects controls The absence of a separate tuner means the user must also carry and use one. This can be the reason. If no sound is coming from the musical instrument, the amplifier connection is left on. It can remain stuck and produce crackling or interference sounds through the amplifier. It can be heard. In known instrument-mounted tone control devices, sound comes from the strings. When no signal is received, the output signal is automatically transmitted to the amplifier. There is no automatic mute feature that completely cuts off the sound. Automatic 5 When no mute is found, manually muting the user output reduces the amplifier's volume. to reduce the level or occurring in intervals where there is no sound signal They may have to endure unwanted noises. In conventional battery-powered on-device electronic devices, the battery level is 10 decrease during use, unexpected failure of audio processing functions This can cause the battery to weaken or stop working. The user should be aware that the battery is weakening. The inability to foresee this beforehand, especially during stage use, leads to interruptions. This can lead to problems. In a ton control device powered by a nine-volt battery, the battery... A direct low battery warning indicates that the battery level has dropped below a certain level. 15 This is indicated by a light so that the user can change the battery at the appropriate time. It is important. In standard applications, the musical instrument has tone and effect controls. It cannot always be adjusted through the same user interface. The 20 in question... The control's tone, analog effects, and tuning functions are all on the same instrument-mounted device. The fact that they are not combined allows the user to experience the different sound characteristics of their musical instrument. This makes it difficult to manage in an integrated manner. Therefore, in the known state of the art, 25 mounted on a musical instrument. Analog effects that can be controlled, such as tone control, phase shifting, and signal clipping. bringing together these settings on the same device housing, with separate controls for those settings. providing instant access through its elements, tuning status in Turkish sheet music and Input audio over a specified period of time, indicated by frequency deviation indicators. When the signal level falls below the threshold value, the amplifier output automatically switches to 30V. 6 a tone control device that cuts off the battery and informs the user of the low battery status It is needed.
