Abstract: A CPU (31) of a musical instrument (1) calculates distances between central positions of a plurality of virtual pads (81) and a position of a marker unit (15), by making adjustment such that a distance is shorter as a size associated with the virtual pad (81) is larger. The CPU 31 identifies a virtual pad (81) corresponding to the shortest distance among the distances calculated, as a virtual pad (81) for outputting sound. The CPU (31) identifies a tone corresponding to the virtual pad (81) for outputting sound by referring to set layout information.

Abstract: An electronic drum set is provided, which allows a user to give a performance, feeling as if the user is playing acoustic drums. The electronic drum set DS is provided with a foot board, a potentiometer, and CPU. The foot board is pressed down by the user. When the user presses the foot board down, the potentiometer mounted on the foot board obtains an angular rate and angular acceleration of the foot board. CPU determines based on the obtained angular acceleration, a timing, at which an instruction of generating a musical tone is given. Further, CPU controls based on the obtained angular rate, a generating state of a musical tone, the generation of which is instructed.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a musical performance device by which layout information, such as information regarding the arrangement of a virtual musical instrument set, can be quickly and easily changed during musical performance and whereby the variety of musical performance can be increased. In the present invention, a CPU identifies a musical tone associated with a virtual pad in an area where the position coordinates of a marker section are located in an image captured by a camera unit section at a shot timing by a drumstick section, and emits the identified musical tone. When the position coordinates of the marker section in an image captured at a shot timing are within the area of a control pad on a virtual plane, the CPU switches processing target set layout information to other set layout information among a plurality of set layout information.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a musical performance device capable of changing layout information, such as information regarding the arrangement of a virtual musical instrument set, by an intuitive operation. In the present invention, when position coordinates detected at a shot timing are within one of the areas of a plurality of virtual pads, a CPU designates a virtual pad in this area as a target of positional change. Then, the CPU determines a position where the virtual pad designated as a target of positional change is placed by this positional change, based on position coordinates detected at shot timings, and changes the position of the virtual pad designated as a target of positional change to the determined position.
