Disclosed is a touch operated capacitance switch which may be used in connection with a digital arpeggio system for an electronic organ that through the use of digital techniques permits arpeggios, note sequences as well as strum, multi, organ, and normal modes of operation to be played automatically. Two counters scan by counting through an 8. times. 8 matrix of 64 words covering the 61 notes of an organ in rapid sequence upon the playing of one or more organ keys. Each word is fed to a corresponding one of 61 decoders, one for each note of the keyboard. If a corresponding key has been played, the decoder provides a signal to a corresponding pulser circuit which enables a corresponding keyer to transmit an audio signal from an audio oscillator corresponding to the played key to an output system and loudspeaker. The two counters are stopped by a clock control while the note is sounded and then the counters are enabled by the counter control to continue counting through the matrix until the next actuated key is located. The two counters can be controlled to count up only, or up and down so that both and up and an up-down arpeggio can be sounded.

A vacuum means for detecting transverse seal areas dividing unsealed areas in adjacent plies of a moving, multiple ply web includes vacuum ports defining a gap through which the web moves. Unsealed web areas are sucked against the ports. When a sealed area enters the gap, it is sucked to one or the other port, uncovering the opposite port. The ensuing pressure differential is sensed to indicate a seal entering or passing the gap. Seal signals are produced and used to control accurate cutting at the seals to separate the web into individual pouches. Control and circuitry apparatus and methods are disclosed.

Simultaneously played notes on a keyboard are automatically provided with different voice timbres. The assignment of voices to notes is by relative frequency-scale position within the chord. If four or more notes are played, the notes are scanned along the musical scale and the three lowest notes played and the highest note are sounded in different voices with the solo voice assigned to the highest note. Assignment of voices occurs automatically when fewer than four keys are played. Time division multiplex digital logic signals representative of the played keys are applied to a memory circuit and a comparator circuit. If the information stored in the memory from the previous scan cycle is unchanged the comparator provides an enabling signal to a monostable and enable logic circuit. A priority selector circuit provides logic information to the monostable and enable logic circuit which outputs this information and information representative of the total number of keys played. This information is combined with the octave information and the note time slot information in four programmable counter circuits which divide four input frequencies from a rate scaler frequency generator to produce the four tone signals.

The present system is a capture action system for electronically recording stop tab configurations in an electric organ, and for recalling the stop tab configurations at will, by depressing of a single control piston for each desired configuration of stop tabs. The system includes provision for setting and recalling combinations of stop tabs associated with a single division of the organ, for example, the swell manual, but not affecting tabs in other divisions, and also includes provision for recording and recalling combinations of all tabs on the organ (general stop) without regard to division. The system further includes a divisional or general cancel function, for operated tab switches, resetting these to inoperative position, and reversible stop functions in which a control piston when actuated reverses the position of its associated stop tab, the reversible stops retaining their abilities to function within the divisional and general combinations. The system is capable of accommodating a maximum of 128 stop tabs, divided into five divisions of the organ, each of which may contain any desired fraction of the total number of stops of the organ, provided that the divisional stops are each allocated to only one division. In operation, tabs which are desired to be operable in combinations are actuated and a set piston and a recall piston are then operated, which stores the locations of the actuated pistons in a memory consisting of 23 channels.

A transposing electronic instrument wherein the clock frequency applied to control a top octave frequency generator is derived by comparing any single output of the generator with the response of a frequency reference circuit to that output, deriving a dc voltage representative of the difference in frequency of the input and output of the reference circuit and controlling the clock frequency from the dc voltage, thereby transposing all the outputs of the top octave frequency generator.
