Abstract

An electronic Zimbelstern system in which a sequential counter actuates a set of self-damping circuits in a predetermined repeating sequence, the self-damping circuits each enabling a different set of sinusoidal tone sources in such relative amplitudes and with such relative rise and decay envelopes as to simulate the sounds of sequentially sounding bells of diverse fundamental frequencies when electro-acoustically reproduced.
