Each beat can therefore last for more than one elementary timeTYPICAL APPLICATIONS Figure 1 shows the typical application of the M 253 (AA). With two M 253 devices it is possible to increase the number of rhythms or the number of instruments available, or the number of elementary times, as shown in figures 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The use of a memory matrix allows the customer complete flexibility, since modification of the memory is quick and relatively cheap.

Reyer INSTRUMENT 7 vamiare crock Joewceator set04e/s faiser 1 To obtain a required number of elementary times ”N” simply put a cross in the “N+ 1” position of the column which now represents the reset output, rather than the 8th instrument. The DB output can be used as down-beat because it appears at the beginning of each measure. Since the pulse is only 2 - 3 ys long it must, however, be stretched and buffered to enable it to drive a lamp. Full information on the use of the M 253 in electronic organs and other applications will be found in Technical Note no. 131 available on request. COMPLETING THE TRUTH TABLE The ROM truth table has been organized in 32 rows which represent elementary times and 96 columns (12 groups of 8) where each group represents a rhythm which has at its disposi- tion 8 programmable instruments, To programme each rhythm one indicates (with across) in the appropriate boxes the timing for each beat required for each instrument. In the given truth table we show an example of how to programme three imaginary rhythms, the first is in 4/4 time, the second in 3/4 time and the third in different time, chosen randomly. Each cross corresponds to a beat of the indicated instrument or, in logic terms, to. the presence of a1” level (positive logic) at the output. The absence of a cross indicates that the corresponding instrument is not used in that part of the rhythm. Rhythm 3 is an example of how to programme for a time which differs from 4/4 or 3/4, This is achieved by using output 8 to reset the rhythm and not to drive an instrument. The rhythm is valid till elementary time no. 15.M 253 is fe | S| RivTaM 2 losraSral [o5raSen| fopredre| jo2raDrul [O>ra2rs| Odresre| ara are [oSresr-| loSraaral loara arn] lo5reare| [ora dru) lo5raare| fosraare| [O5ra Shel [odreS—| losraaral [o>ra arn] loaraare| [odraarwl loSraars| [odraare| lore Sra losrear-| joDra arab] (Gara She] losraarelx| lo>resral losraarebe| lodraare | lara ara loaraar-lk losraarr| (Soraareht loaraarel lodraan [oaraar-pe , Cores losrearul (O>rasre| looraare] edhe ara lose ar] joaraaral losre arn] lodra are oarasre) lode are! eared] [oare ra josrear] loSre are] lose crn loare>re| oarere| ooreah a loore Dre foarearal [O>ra orn pare sie] lOare are losra2re| are drel josrasray o>rear| lo>raarel carers Sarena [oSKa Sho] aren loarearal dre Sra lo>reSr-| 2aM2 RAY TAM TF [oSrasral jOSraarn loaraSrel Osra5ral (O>rasre loSrasrnl losraakal lopra>r-| [O>rashn loarasrel losrasrol loprasre!
