Melograph

Japanese: メログラフ(英語表記)melograph
Melograph
This is an electronic melody analyzer invented in the 1950s by American ethnomusicologist Charles Seeger (1886-1979) and manufactured by Anderson of Interocean Systems. There are currently two models, Type B and Type C, with Type B analyzing and graphing changes in pitch and dynamics of melodies in real time, while Type C also analyzes the harmonic structure of tones in real time. It is the most effective analytical device for objectively visualizing and studying the melodies of ethnic music that are difficult to express using Western notation.

アメリカの民族音楽学者シーガーCharles Seeger(1886‐1979)が1950年代に考案し,インターオーシャン・システム社のアンダーソンが製作した電子式の旋律分析機。現在B型とC型があり,B型は旋律の高低変化と強弱変化を,C型はその他に音色の倍音構成をもリアル・タイムに分析してグラフ化する。西洋の記譜法では表しにくいような民族音楽の旋律を客観的に視覚化し,分析研究するのには最も有効な分析機器である。
