Attorney, Agent or Firm:

An electronic reverberation device comprising an input amplifier and an output amplifier connected in a circuit in which a delay device is connected between an output of the input amplifier and an input of the output amplifier, and a feedback path connects an output of the output amplifier to an input of the input amplifier. In order to render the operation of the device substantially frequency-independent, the delay line is a variable delay line the delay of which can be regulated by a regulator controlled by a control device which derives a control voltage from the output of the input amplifier. Preferably, the delay device is a bucket memory, the regulator a clock, and the control device comprises a diode having one terminal connected to the output of the input amplifier and another that is earth-connected through a capacitor and connected through a resistor to a control input of the clock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An electronic reverberation device comprising an input amplifier having an input and an output, an output amplifier having an input and an output, a delay device connected between said output of said input amplifier and said input of said output amplifier, a feedback path connected between said output of said output amplifier and said input of said input amplifier, said delay device being a variable delay line, a regulator for regulating the delay of said delay device and having a control input, and a control device between said output of said input amplifier and said control input of said regulator, said control device controlling said regulator such that the sum of the signal from said delay device and re-supplied to said input amplifier through said feedback path and the input signal of said input amplifier is substantially frequency-independent.
2.
A reverberation device according to claim 1, wherein said delay device comprises a bucket memory, and said regulator is a clock whose frequency can be varied by the control device.
3.
A reverberation device according to claim 1, wherein the control device varies the frequency of the clock in response to the output signal of the input amplifier.
4.
A reverberation device according to claim 1, wherein the control device comprises a diode, one terminal of which is connected to the output of the input amplifier and, a capacitor and a resistor, said diode being earth-connected through said capacitor and connected through said resistor to the control input of the regulator.




Description:
The invention relates to an electronic reverberation device.
In Dutch patent application No.
7510999, there is described an electronic reverberation device comprising an input amplifier, a delay device, an output amplifier connected through said delay device to said input amplifier, and a feedback path connected between an output of the output amplifier and an input of the input amplifier.
It has been found that such a reverberation device has the drawback that the combined signal supplied to the input amplifier suffers from a so-called comb filter effect
