摘要： In controlling a sound source for an electronic musical instrument, an operation data of a performance operation member corresponding to musical tone control parameters of a musical instrument is corrected according to a tone generation region characteristic of the musical instrument. The corrected data is inputted to a sound source circuit of the electronic musical instrument thereby a musical tone approximating of the musical instrument is regularly generated. The electronic musical instrument comprises a performance operation member for outputting position and pressure data of an operation member, a sound source for receiving musical tone control parameters corresponding to those of a musical instrument and generating a musical tone simulating that of the musical instrument, and a conversion circuit for converting the position and pressure data to those in a normal tone generation region as the musical tone control parameters in accordance with a tone generation region characteristic based on the musical tone control parameters of the musical instrument. The conversion circuit is connected to the sound source.

摘要： There are provided a tone signal generation circuit capable of selectively generating either a normal tone signal corresponding to a selected tone color or a special tone signal corresponding to the same selected tone color but having a characteristic which is different from that of the normal tone signal, and a tone selection circuit selecting whether the normal tone signal is to be generated or the special tone signal is to be generated in this tone signal generation circuit. A tone signal having a characteristic of a tone generated by a misplay, for example, is used as the special tone signal. In case a tone is generated by depression of a key, the normal tone signal is selectively generated in most cases but the special tone signal may be selectively generated from time to time. By doing so, a tone of a misplay is occasionally generated thereby giving the impression of naturalness as if a natural musical instrument were being played. In case the generation of the special tone signal has been selected, the special tone signal may be temporarily generated and then tone generation may be switched to generation of the normal tone signal. In performing such switching, a crossfade control of the evelope level may be applied.

摘要： Performance interface system includes a motion detector provided for movement with a performer, and a control system for receiving detection data transmitted from the motion detector and controlling a performance of a tone in response to the received detection data. State of a performer's motion is detected via a sensor of the motion detector, and detection data representative of the detected motion state is transmitted to the control system. The control system receives the detection data from the motion detector, analyzes the performer's motion on the basis of the detection data, and then controls a tone performance in accordance with the analyzed data. With this arrangement, the performer can readily take part in the tone performance in the control system. For example, as the performer moves his or her hand, leg or trunk while listening to a manual or automatic performance of a music piece being carried out by a performance apparatus of the control system, the motion detector detects the performer's motion and transmits corresponding detection data to the control system, which in turn variably controls a predetermined one of tonal factors in the music piece performance. This arrangement can readily provide interactive performance control and thereby allows an inexperienced or unskilled performer to take part in a performance with enjoyment.

According to performance operations on performance terminals 2, a controller 1 records a performance history. Performance terminals 2 to which performance parts have been assigned by a Facilitator are determined as being present, whereas performance terminal 2 to which no performance parts have been assigned are determined as being absent. The number of times of key depression on each performance terminal 2, the average key depression intensity (average Velocity), etc. from start to end of a performance are recorded. The recorded values for respective items are output in the form of text data. Since values for the respective item are recorded at every performance, the frequency of attendance of respective users can easily be managed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

摘要： A performance control apparatus which can reflect operations carried out by a user on variations in dynamics in real time to achieve performance expressions such as crescendo and decrescendo. A keyboard generates performance timing information indicative of performance timing in automatic performance in response to performance operations by a user, and performance intensity information indicative of intensities of the performance operations. An HDD stores data of a music piece comprising sequence data of note information including volumes and intensities of musical tones. The data of the music piece is read out from the HDD at a tempo based on the information indicative of the performance timing, and sounding instruction data including information on intensities and volumes of musical tones is generated. If the performance timing coincides with timing in which note information on a musical tone is read out, the sounding instruction data on the musical tone is determined based on the performance intensity information in the performance timing and the volume and intensity of the musical tone included in the read note information. If the performance timing is during sounding of a musical tone based on the note information previously read out, the sounding instruction data is redetermined based on the volume information on the musical tone based on the performance intensity information in the performance timing.

摘要： Style-of-rendition identification information representing a style of rendition of a performance tone is received, and reference is made to a predetermined table on the basis of the received style-of-rendition identification information to thereby obtain, from the table, style-of-rendition module data corresponding to the received style-of-rendition identification information. Waveform is produced on the basis of the obtained style-of-rendition module data. The style-of-rendition module data is data representing behavior of a waveform to be produced in accordance with a style of rendition and may include data representing characteristic behavior of vectors that control the waveform to be reproduced. The behavior of the waveform can be defined by various waveform factors. The vectors include, for example, vectors of various fundamental waveform factors for producing the waveform, such as a waveform shape, pitch, amplitude and time axis.
