Abstract: Based on acceleration-sensor values from a three-dimensional acceleration sensor 23, CPU 21 of a performance apparatus 11 determines a timing at which a musical tone is generated. Further, based on the acceleration-sensor values of the acceleration sensor 23 given at a predetermined timing, for example, at a time when a player starts swinging of the performance apparatus 11, a roll angle of the performance apparatus 11 rotating about an axis in its longitudinal direction is calculated. A timbre of musical tones to be generated is determined based on the calculated roll angle.

Abstract: An electronic percussion musical instrument comprises a plurality of playing pads for playing music by striking the face of each pad. The pads are configured to work either as individual pads respectively for playing different percussion tones or as grouped pad zones by combining some of the pads, each zone playing a same percussion tone. Plural timbres of musical tones are stored in a storage unit and are respectively allocated to the individual playing pads or the grouped pad zones. The grouped pad zone can be handled just as a wide area pad. When an individual pad or a grouped pad zone is struck, the allocated tone will be generated. Some of the pads or grouped pad zones can be used as a special playing technique instruction pad to input an instruction to impart an effect of special playing technique to the tones to be generated. As a tone playing pad is struck with the special playing technique instruction pad being pressed, a musical tone allocated to the tone playing pad is generated with the special playing technique effect being imparted thereto. The pads can be two-dimensional and three-dimensional.

Abstract: An electronic music apparatus has a tone generator settable by setting information to generate a music tone signal and an open memory area accessible for storing identification information of the electronic music apparatus and setting information specific to the electronic music apparatus. The electronic music apparatus reads out the identification information from the open memory area and sends the read identification information to an editing apparatus, and receives setting information from the editing apparatus and writes the received setting information into the open memory area. Further, when the setting information is written into the open memory area, the written setting information is applied to the tone generator. The editing apparatus has a storage for storing the edited setting information in association with the identification information of each electronic music apparatus. The editing apparatus receives the identification information sent from the electronic music apparatus, identifies the electronic music apparatus which sends the identification information, locates the setting information stored in the storage in association with the received identification information, and sends the located setting information to the identified electronic music apparatus.

Abstract: To a tone generation apparatus is removably attachable a plug-in board for generating a tone on the basis of performance information and extending the tone generating function of the tone generation apparatus. Tone color name information and tone color parameter name information of tone color data possessed by the attached plug-in board is stored in a nonvolatile memory. Thus, any tone color possessed by the plug-in board can be known with reference only to the nonvolatile memory and without a need to refer to the plug-in board. The nonvolatile memory can also store tone color data of a custom voice obtained by editing original tone color data of the plug-in board. With this arrangement, the plug-in board is allowed to obtain the tone color data of the custom voice from the nonvolatile memory, as necessary.
