Abstract

A disc having holes in the periphery thereof is moved by successive increments so that the holes are successively brought into alignment with a photocell. The diameters of successive ones of the holes correspond to the pitch of successive tones in a musical selection. A tone generator is employed to develop a tone signal which varies in pitch in accordance with the diameter of the holes in the disc.
