    Abstract: A control apparatus comprises a rod-like member having a gripping portion at its distal end, a support member for supporting the rod-like member, the gripping portion being movable along an axial direction of the rod-like member, and moving amount detectors for detecting moving amounts of the gripping portion. The control apparatus inputs a control signal to a control object on the basis of a detection value of the moving amount detectors. An electronic musical instrument has a control apparatus as a performance operation member for controlling electronic tone generation parameters in correspondence with a performance function, and a sound source for generating an electronic tone on the basis of inputs from a keyboard and the performance operation member.

    Abstract: A musical composition/arrangement assisting apparatus for assisting a composition/arrangement of a multi-part music receives performance information such as melody information, chord information, or the like, and detects candidate tones harmonizing with the performance information. The candidate tones are notes on an available scale determined by a tonality and a chord. Avoid notes are excluded in terms of a chord tone architecture from the candidate tones. Furthermore, tones parallel to melody tones or tones in a minor ninth relation to melody tones are excluded from the candidate tones. The candidate tones are informed a user of and presented to him or her. The user selects tones from the candidate tones to generate musical tone data of another part. The user can compose/arrangement other parts of a music from the candidate tones presented in consideration of musical harmony. Therefore, all the composed/arranged parts are musically harmonized with each other.

    Abstract: An accompaniment apparatus has a first memory for memorizing a plurality of original accompaniment patterns corresponding to various accompaniment styles, each original accompaniment pattern being composed of a set of parallel part patterns. An editor is operated for designating different ones of the original accompaniment patterns and collecting therefrom a set of desired part patterns to define a free accompaniment pattern which is different than the original accompaniment patterns. A second memory memorizes designated and collected results by the editor for use in reproduction of the free accompaniment pattern. During the reproduction, a pattern length difference or a meter difference among the set of the collected parallel part patterns can be corrected to maintain a consistent progression of the automatic free accompaniment.

    Abstract: Melody note data and chord data are inputted to an automatic arrangement apparatus. When it is detected that a melody note is a nonharmonic note, the melody note is converted into a harmonic note, and an additional note (e.g., a countermelody note) is generated based on the converted harmonic note. An electronic musical instrument comprises such an automatic arrangement apparatus. Melody note data and chord data are inputted to the instrument according to a performance of a player. When it is detected that a melody note is a nonharmonic note, the melody note is converted into a harmonic note, an additional note is determined based on the converted harmonic note, and the additional note is produced as a tone in real time simultaneously with a performance tone.

    Abstract: A keyboard and a portamento bar are connected to a tone generator through a common channel assigner to use each tone generating channel either for generating a keyboard sound or for generating a portamento sound. Thus, a portamento sound can be generated without a need for providing a another tone generator. Further, such arrangement is provided that can shift the tone generation from a keyboard sound to a portamento sound and from a portamento sound to a keyboard sound, enabling initiation and termination of a portamento performance to have accurate pitches.

    Abstract: The musical tone generating apparatus converts a movement of a man into a musical tone. Such movement of the man includes a walking or running movement, a jumping movement, a rubbing movement and a beating movement, a turning movement and the like. More specifically, a tone pitch, a tone color, a tone volume or other parameters of the musical tone to be generated is controlled based on a value of a moving speed, a value of a jumping height or a value of frictional heat produced by the rubbing movement of player's hands.

    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument has plural keys each capable of designating different tone pitch and touch response. When any key is depressed by player, touch response information is generated in response to touch intensity or depressing pressure of the depressed key. Based on the touch response information, initial-touch response effect or after-touch response effect is applied to a musical tone of depressed key or musical tones of simultaneously depressed keys. The touch response information is corrected such that the generated musical tones will not be heard un-natural. In addition, by controlling the depressing pressure of key, an automatic performance pattern consisting of predetermined accompaniment pattern and rhythm pattern can be designated and changed.
