Il lyricon è uno strumento musicale a fiat … Il lyricon è uno strumento musicale a fiato elettronico, il primo ad essere realizzato. Fu inventato da (con la supervisione di e del primo utilizzatore di lyricon ), per conto della Inc in Massachusetts, Stati Uniti d'America. Il lyricon diede così la possibilità al musicista di controllare un sintetizzatore suonando un tipo di sassofono elettronico. Il sintetizzatore era contenuto da una piccola valigia di legno. Usando un certo tipo di sintesi additiva, il musicista era in grado di cambiare tipologia di ipertoni tramite un tasto fra le fondamentali di G, Bb, C, Eb e F con un raggio che poteva essere scelto fra "low", "medium" o "high". Lo strumento disponeva anche di funzioni quali glissando, portamento e "attacco timbrico" (un tipo di chorus). Il lyricon disponeva di un bocchino preso dal clarinetto basso, con un sensore sull'ancia che rilevava la pressione delle labbra. La pressione del fiato veniva rilevata tramite un , il quale veniva modificato in tempo reale dal LED esterno tramite una fotocellula per consentire controllo dinamico. Successivamente, vennero creati altri due modelli di lyricon. Il primo, il "Wind Synthesizer Driver", che disponeva del controllo del voltaggio in uscita per la pressione delle labbra, del fiato e il controllo del pitch di un sintetizzatore analogico esterno. Quindi, venne creato il "Lyricon II", che includeva due oscillatori.Tutti i modelli di lyricon utilizzavano lo stesso sistema di diteggiatura per sassofono, con due ottave oltre l'appoggio del pollice sinistro. Il Wind Synthesizer Driver e il Lyricon II disponevano anche di un pedale per la trasposizione, che veniva appunto usato per trasporre l'intero raggio di note sopra o sotto di un'ottava. I lyricon non disponevano dell'interfaccia MIDI (che fu inventata dopo che la Computone chiuse l'attività nel 1980), ma moduli esterni per aggiungere il supporto MIDI allo strumento furono prodotti da JL Copper e STEIM.ento furono prodotti da JL Copper e STEIM.

Het is uitgevonden door , die er in 1971 samen met patent op aanvroeg, en werd gebouwd door Inc uit Massachusetts. Het instrument is nooit erg populair geweest en is in onbruik geraakt nadat Computone in 1980 failliet ging, en doordat in 1982-1983 het MIDI-protocol werd ontwikkeld. De Lyricon stelt blazers in staat een te besturen door op een soort elektronische saxofoon te spelen. De Lyricon zet luchtdruk, lipspanning en vingerzettingen om in drie verschillende , die het synthesizergedeelte aansturen. De luchtdruk-stuurspanning wordt bepaald door een membraan en een lichtgevoelige sensor, en regelt het volume (VCA). De lip-stuurspanning wordt bepaald door een sensor op het riet en regelt de toonhoogte (vibrato) en filter, en de vingerschakelaar-stuurspanning regelt de toonhoogte. Door een vorm van additieve synthese te gebruiken, kan de bespeler kiezen tussen boventonen waarbij kan worden geschakeld tussen de toonsoorten G, Bb, C, Eb, en F. Met een range-schakelaar wordt gekozen tussen laag, midden en hoog. Het instrument beschikt ook over glissando, portamento, en "timbre attack" (een soort chorus). Van de Lyricon I werden circa 300 exemplaren gebouwd. Later werden nog twee andere modellen van de Lyricon ontwikkeld; de "Wind Synthesizer Driver", die kan worden aangesloten op een externe synthesizer (bijvoorbeeld de ARP 2600, of ), en de "Lyricon II", een synthesizer met twee oscillatoren en een ander model controller. Alle Lyricons gebruiken een basklarinetmondstuk, en saxofoonachtige vingerzettingen, met twee octaaftoetsen boven de duimsteun voor de linkerhand. De Wind Synthesizer Driver kent ook een transponeerfunctie, waarbij met een pedaal het hele bereik een octaaf kan worden verhoogd of verlaagd. Bij de Lyricon II wordt dit gedaan via het bedieningspaneel. De Lyricons werkten oorspronkelijk niet met MIDI.

, The Lyricon is an electronic wind instrume … The Lyricon is an electronic wind instrument, the first wind controller to be constructed. Invented by Bill Bernardi (and co-engineered by Roger Noble and with the late Lyricon performer Chuck Greenberg), filed for patent on October 5, 1971, by Computone Inc., patented under #US3767833 October 23, 1973 and then manufactured by Computone Inc. in Massachusetts in the early 1970s. The first lyricon was completed in 1974 with Tom Scott being the first customer for the instrument. The Lyricon was available in two designs, the first being somewhat silver and resembling a soprano saxophone and the latter, black and resembling an alto clarinet. Using a form of additive synthesis, the player was allowed to change between types of overtones with a key switchable between fundamentals of G, Bb, C, Eb, and F (allowing the instrument to be used to play transposed parts written for saxophones, trumpets, etc.) and an octave range that could be switched between low, medium, or high. The instrument also had controls for glissando, portamento, and "timbre attack" (a type of chorusing). The Lyricon used a bass clarinet mouthpiece, with a sprung metal sensor on the (non-vibrating) reed that detected lip pressure. Wind pressure was detected by a diaphragm, which moved and changed the light output from an LED, which was in turn sensed by a photocell to give dynamic control. The lyricon I was originally priced at $3,295 which was quite expensive for the time, also probably one of the reasons why the instrument was sold only in small numbers. Two additional re-modelled Lyricons were engineered later. First the "Wind Synthesizer Driver", which had control voltage outputs for lip pressure, wind pressure and pitch, to control the VCA and VCF and pitch of an external analog synthesizer. Then the "Lyricon II" was engineered, which included a two-oscillator synthesizer. All the Lyricons used the same saxophone style fingering system, with two octave keys above the left-hand thumb rest. The Wind Synthesizer Driver and the Lyricon II also had a transposition footswitch feature, where a foot pedal could be used to transpose the entire range up or down one octave. None of the Lyricons were engineered to use MIDI (which was invented after Computone went out of business in 1980 when Yamaha started to develop their WX7 MIDI wind instrument), although external MIDIfication modules were produced by JL Cooper and STEIM. Approximately 200 units of the lyricon I were handmade and approximately 2000 units of the driver and Lyricon II were manufactured. However, since Computone went out of Business and due to the death of the instruments' inventor in 2014 the number of functioning instruments reduces more and more as only few people have the know-how to repair them and spare parts are hard to obtain. The design of the Lyricon controller was later borrowed to form the basis for Yamaha's WX-series MIDI wind controllers. A prominent example of what a lyricon sounds like can be heard in Michael Jackson's song Billie Jean, where Tom Scott used the instrument.Jean, where Tom Scott used the instrument.
