Abstract

An electronic organ has a tone generating system for producing tones corresponding to notes of a musical scale. The tones and combinations thereof are selectable to provide different characteristics or "voices" which duplicate the various voices which are selectable on a pipe organ. The character of each such voice is determined by a single generator. The character of the output tone on a per manual basis is alterable by substituting or combining the outputs of different generators. The signal produced in this manner is sampled at a rate which translates it to an audio frequency.
