Abstract
A multiple octave generator system for providing tones in an electronic organ permits the production of both ensemble and celeste effects by providing the appropriate amounts of detuning among cascaded ranks of divide-by-two locked octave type tone generators. The generator system programs from the ranks adjacent octaves of generator into groups having slightly overall stretched tuning which, when combined with an unstretched rank, closely resemble pipe organ celeste tuning. This permits the celeste beat rate of the lower octaves to be increased to a more desirable rate without causing the beat rate of the upper octaves to become too fast.
