12 results about "Semitone" patented technology

A semitone, also called a half step or a half tone, is the smallest musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music, and it is considered the most dissonant when sounded harmonically. It is defined as the interval between two adjacent notes in a 12-tone scale. For example, C is adjacent to C♯; the interval between them is a semitone.

Isomorphic musical instrument and matching notation method

PCT designated stageWO2025214084A1Stringed musical instrumentsNotation recordingPianoOctave
The present application relates to a twelve-semitone isomorphic keyboard or soundboard group, which adapts to the natural arch of five fingers by using color allocation layouts, tone key shapes, concave-convex touch recognition points, etc., so as to achieve the technical effects of quickly identifying note positions, and simplifying and unifying fingering. Correspondingly, the structures of transmission apparatuses of a piano and an electronic organ are also changed. The present application further relates to a matching twelve-semitone independent-note isomorphic notation method, and software and apparatuses for music score creation, music score singing and note singing. A system endows a music score with various pattern identification detail features to match the music scores to note positions of a musical instrument on a one-to-one basis, such as a twelve-semitone pitch scale, a series of octave clefs, opposite notehead-stem directions between lines, zigzag bar lines and four sets of note systems, making music score information intuitive and concise, and reducing the workload of brain conversion during music score recognition, and thus increasing the reaction speed. The software and apparatuses for music score creation, music score singing and note singing are powerful tools for recording vocal music in a music score form and teaching music score singing.

A modular key pipe instrument

This invention discloses a modular, keyed wind instrument, belonging to the field of electronic wind instruments. It includes a modular mouthpiece module (for horizontal / vertical blowing), a key module (containing 7-key or 3-key basic units), a speaker module, and optional traditional instrument appearance kits. Through a unified fingering system: the 7-key and 3-key units correspond to fixed solfège syllables, with a default key of C. Pressing the key shifting double keys raises / lowers the key, pressing the octave double keys raises / lowers an octave, and combining the sharp key raises a semitone. This invention achieves a wind instrument with flexible structure, unified fingering, and significantly reduced learning difficulty through modular combination. It contains multiple wind instrument timbres while retaining traditional appearance characteristics, balancing the cultural heritage of traditional instruments with innovative electronic expression.
