    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.

    摘要: A musical tone generating apparatus utilizing a data compression method. A musical tone is sampled and is converted into waveform data. These waveform data are compressed into compressed data by a linear predictive coding method and further by a differential quantization method. The number of bits of each of the compressed data is thus significantly smaller than that of the waveform data. Thereafter, a memory stores the thus compressed data corresponding to an attack portion of the tone and a selected part of a sustain portion of the tone. Hence, it is possible to remarkably reduce the memory storage. When generating a musical tone, the memory reads out the compressed data of the attack portion and thereafter repeatedly reads out the compressed data of the selected part. The read-out compressed data are sequentially decoded into the original digital data. Thus, the whole waveform of the musical tone is reproduced.

    摘要: There are provided first and second tone signal generation channels for respectively generating tone signals having waveshape characteristics corresponding to parameters assigned thereto. Tone color change control information such as key touch data is applied to a parameter assigning circuit. The parameter assigning circuit selects two parameters from among three or more parameters which are different from one another and assigns the selected two parameters to the first and second tone signal generation channels respectively. Tone signals having different characteristics, which are determined by the assigned parameters, are generated from the respective channels. The tone color change control information is further applied to an interpolation circuit connected to the first and second channels. The interpolation circuit interpolates the generated tone signals in accordance with the tone color change control information. A result of the interpolation is outputted as a tone signal for a tone to be produced.

    摘要: A sound control apparatus is provided in a portable terminal for sounding a music tone in association with operation of the portable terminal, which is controlled by a main CPU. In the sound control apparatus, a memory memorizes music information representing a music tone and configuration information associated to a timbre of the music tone. An information acquiring section acquires the music information and the configuration information from the memory. A tone generating section is configured by the acquired configuration information to create a timbre specified by the configuration information.

    摘要: A song text information input system allows a user to easily input song text control information for controlling the display manner of song texts on the screen without having preknowledge of specific rules for control and use of character codes. The system displays a song text input window that contains a song text expansion area and switch buttons corresponding to a change-line switch and a change-page switch respectively. Using a keyboard, the user is able to sequentially input characters of a song text, which are displayed in the song text expansion area on the screen. As for entry of the song text control information, the user operates specific keys of the keyboard or clicks the switch buttons with a mouse to input special marks such as a change-line mark ‘/’ and a change-page mark ‘

    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.
