Abstract
A sound generator including a plurality of synthesis generators each configured to generate a sound from a note, and a dynamic voice allocation circuit configured to select a new note to be supplied to the plurality of synthesis generators depending on a priority that is associated with the new note and the generated sounds and the volumes of the generated sounds.

A sound generator, comprising:
- a plurality of synthesis generators each configured to generate a sound from a note;
- and
- a dynamic voice allocation circuit configured to select a new note to be supplied to the plurality of synthesis generators depending on a priority that is associated with the new note and the generated sounds and the volumes of the generated sounds.
A sound generator, comprising:
- a plurality of synthesis generators each configured to generate a sound from a note;
- and
- a dynamic voice allocation circuit configured to select a new note to be supplied to the plurality of synthesis generators depending on the volumes of the generated sounds.
A method for generating a sound from a note, comprising:
- generating sounds from notes by a plurality of synthesis generators;
- retrieving parameters of the current sounds and parameters of the notes for a decision whether a new note is to be generated as a sound depending on the parameters of the notes;
- deciding whether the new note is to be generated as a sound depending on the parameters of the notes;
- and
- in case of a positive decision, selecting a sound generator to generate a sound from the new note depending on the parameters of the sounds.
A method for generating a sound from a note, comprising:
- generating sounds by a plurality of synthesis generators from notes;
- generating a sound from a new note,
- wherein the notes have a predefined priority;
- and
- for all generated sounds,
- determining notes of the generated sounds with a priority lower than the priority of the new note;
- determining, among the determined notes, the note with the minimum volume;
- and
- selecting the determined note to be replaced by the new note to be generated as a sound.
A method for generating a sound from a note, comprising selecting a note to be supplied to a plurality of synthesis generators depending on the volumes of the generated sounds.
