摘要： An electronic musical instrument has an automatic playing device which conducts an automatic musical performance at a tempo set by manually tapping of a pad before the beginning of the performance. The automatic playing device also starts the automatic performance based on the detection that the number of the tapping has coincided with the predetermined number. The tempo is set according to an interval between the successive tapping. The successive taps can be the latter two taps when the tapping is made for a number of time of music. Also, the electronic musical instrument is equipped with a tap voice output device that outputs counting voices, such as `one`, `two`, `three`, for each tapping.

摘要： A music apparatus is constructed for reproducing multimedia events including musical events and visual events arranged in synchronization to the musical events. In the music apparatus, a storage device provides a data structure composed of music information which determines a sequence of the musical events, image progression information which determines a sequence of the visual events in synchronization to the sequence of the musical events, and event information which represents the visual events involved in the image progression information. A tone generator processes the music information to generate musical tones in correspondence to the sequence of the musical events. An image synthesizer operates in synchronization to the tone generator for sequentially processing the event information according to the image progression information to synthesize images in correspondence to the sequence of the visual events. The synthesized images are displayed along the progression of the musical tones to thereby reproduce the multimedia events.

摘要： An electronic musical instrument is disclosed wherein the musical tone parameter such as the tone volume, tone color, acoustic reverberation, pan-pot and the like can be varied over time. The invention provides an electronic musical instrument including an operational device, a memory, a readout section, a control section and a tone generator. The operational device can be implemented in a stick type operator for example. The operational device generates operational data which vary over time in response to operations applied thereto. The operational data generated by operational device are consecutively stored in the memory. The readout section can be implemented in a CPU for example and consecutively reads out the operational data from the memory. The control section can be implemented in a CPU for example and generates a musical tone parameter which varies over time on the basis of data consecutively read out from the memory. The tone generator generates musical tones on the basis of a musical tone parameter. In this electronic musical instrument, the musical tone parameter of generated musical tones can be continuously varied over time in response to the operational data which are consecutively read out from the memory.

摘要： A tone visualizing apparatus for visualizing an inputted audio signal to thereby display an image corresponding to this audio signal includes at least a detector, image display (such as a CRT display unit) and display controller. The detector detects characteristics of the audio signal such as envelope, chord, spectrum signal components, number of zero-cross points and energy of the audio signal. The image display displays an image based on given image information which can be generated from a video tape recorder (VTR), a video disk unit or an image memory constituted by a semiconductor memory. The display controller controls the image display so that a display parameter of the image will be controlled based on the detected characteristics of the audio signal. For example, the display parameter can be set as size, brightness or colors of the image. Thus, the image is controlled so that the impression of the image will be matched with that of the audio tone.
