【DTM再現】ミュージックサイレン（静岡県浜松市 ♪蛍の光 浜松ver.）

かつて静岡県浜松市にあるヤマハ本社に存在したミュージックサイレン装置から吹鳴する曲（蛍の光）をDTMで再現してみました。起動から吹鳴までのタイムラグは適当です。

着メロにしたいから、他の再現も聞きたい！

I can't believe they converted that to play music on across town.

[@JonasClark]

They didn't convert it. Yamaha built these systems for this purpose. Over 100 ten-note units in the 1950s, and 12 of these twelve-note or (I think) sixteen-note units in the 1990s. This is probably a pre-programmed tune (MIDI) but they also had a manual keyboard. The Yamaha headquarters got fancier ones; the 1950s unit had fourteen notes and the newer one had twenty-four. Amazing, isn't it?

@@JonasClark Even more so since you told me that!

@@JonasClark I believe the two second generation units at the Tenri Pool are both eight note units, but I could be mistaken. They were both known to play only one song per day at 2:00 PM. One was installed in 1988 to replace an earlier first generation unit, while the other was installed in 1990 (as to why exactly it was is unknown, though I suspect it may be used as a backup in case the main one fails). Both Tenri units are inactive as of the time I’m writing this, leaving Yawatahama’s twelve note unit the only working example of a second generation unit left thanks to Yawatahama presumably outsourcing the production of spare parts to a third party.

@@stampycatfan01lol Quite unfortunate. I'm glad they're at least standing. Do we know how many 1950s units and how many 1990s units are still in use currently?

​@@JonasClark As far as I know, There are 2 First generations and one second-generation that still rocking (but now is 2024, idk if it still working)
