G10H ELECTROPHONIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; INSTRUMENTS IN WHICH THE TONES ARE GENERATED BY ELECTROMECHANICAL MEANS OR ELECTRONIC GENERATORS, OR IN WHICH THE TONES ARE SYNTHESISED FROM A DATA STORE
Description
G10H covers electrophonic musical instruments and devices that generate or synthesize musical tones through electromechanical or electronic means rather than purely acoustic mechanisms. This includes electronic keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, digital audio generators, and hybrid instruments combining mechanical and electronic sound production. The classification encompasses both real-time tone generation via electronic circuits and algorithmic synthesis from stored data or algorithmic models. Related technologies such as MIDI control systems, audio effects processing integrated into instruments, and software-based sound synthesis engines fall within this scope, though purely acoustic instruments with electronic amplification only are typically excluded.
