Abstract
A time-shared electronic musical instrument is provided with programmable wave-form generating and tone coloring circuits in order to maintain the musical characteristics regardless of pitch. The circuits comprise programmable keyers and wave-shapers, programmable envelope generators, programmable filters, and a programmable voicing selection circuit, in all of which certain characteristics of the output signal are tailored to the frequency of the musical tone.
