Electronic musical instrument

In combination:

• a music synthesizer of the type including a voltage controlled oscillator to produce an output signal of a frequency determined by the voltage applied thereto, the frequency range of said output signal being controlled by the value of a capacitance circuit comprising a portion of said synthesizer;
• a musical wind instrument of the type having a plurality of valves, the opening and closing of which is normally used to control the frequency of the note produced by said instrument when said instrument is played in a conventional manner;
• a voltage source connected to said synthesizer;
• means connected to said voltage source and said valves to control the voltage applied to said oscillator in response to the opening and closing of said valves;
• a plurality of capacitance circuits, the value of each of said circuits being such as to produce a different frequency range for said synthesizer when interconnected to form said portion of said synthesizer;
• and
• multiposition switch means interconnecting said plurality of capacitance circuits with said synthesizer whereby in each position of said switch a different capacitance circuit is interconnected with said synthesizer to comprise said portion of said synthesizer.
