Abstract

An electronic musical instrument for reproducing chords in a fixed interval scale, know as Tru-Scale, without overtone collision. The instrument includes a memory for storing of frequency information corresponding to respective notes for producing tones using the Tru-Scale interval system. The inventive instrument reproduces single notes and chords in accordance with an interval system which eliminates dissonance, allows complete modulation, in all key signatures, and pure tone chords without altering the keyboard. The invention also contemplates the use of the Tru-Scale frequencies with all MIDI interface compatible instruments, in conjunction with a suitable tone generator, or through internal or external memory sources.
