摘要： A normal automatic accompaniment performance is executed in accordance with an accompaniment pattern read out from a pattern memory. When a special performance is designated such as an intro, fill-in or ending performance, a modification suitable for the special performance is applied to a accompaniment pattern read out from the memory, so that the special performance is inserted in accordance with the thus-modified accompaniment pattern. At that time, the pattern may be modified by desired modifier data describing a manner of modifying the pattern. The pattern modification can be diversified by setting an individual modification condition to each musical instrument part of the accompaniment pattern in correspondence to the designated modifier. A memory is provided for storing a number of modifier data, and a further arrangement is provided for freely editing the modifier data stored in the memory. A still further arrangement is provided for dislaying the accompaniment pattern in the pre-modification state and the accompaniment pattern in the post-modification state for a visual comparison therebetween. There are also provided various methods to designated a desired modifier as well as various pattern modifying methods.

摘要： Input waveform data are processed by Fast Fourier Transform or otherwise to separate a harmonic wave component from the waveform data while a non-harmonic wave component is separated by subtracting the harmonic wave component from the waveform data. Vector quantization is performed on the harmonic wave component by selecting and using one of prestored harmonic vectors as a representative vector for the harmonic wave component, and vector quantization is performed on the non-harmonic wave component, independently of the harmonic wave component, by selecting and using one of prestored non-harmonic vectors as a representative vector for the non-harmonic wave component. Then, using harmonic and non-harmonic vectors indicated by vector information of a waveform to be reproduced, waveforms of harmonic and non-harmonic wave components are generated separately and then combined to thereby reproduce/generate the waveform. The non-harmonic wave component is divided, on the basis of detected periodicity of the corresponding harmonic wave component, into a plurality of sections each having a length corresponding to an integral or fractional multiple of the period of the harmonic wave component.

摘要： A performance data editing system is actualized by a computer system (or electronic musical instrument) which is equipped with a display and a mouse. The system initially provides a score window containing various types of execution icon layers onto which execution icons are attached and arranged in conformity with a progression of a musical tune on a screen of the display. The system provides an icon modify window that allows the user to modify parameters of a specific icon which is selected from among the execution icons attached onto the score window by double clicks of the mouse. Herein, the score window shows a part of a musical score (or a staff notation with notes), while the icon modify window shows an edited portion of the musical score by magnification, wherein a range of execution-related data being edited on the icon modify window is automatically indicated on the musical score of the score window. In addition, modification being effected on a note in the edited portion of the musical score is automatically reflected on note data and/or execution-related data in the performance data. The system also provides an icon select palette that shows latest selections of execution icons which are arranged in an up-to-date manner. The icon select palette shows a number of execution icons which the user frequently or lastly use. Thus, it is possible to improve performability and efficiency in editing performance data by using icons with simple operations and without errors.

摘要： A musical-tone-control apparatus having a baton which is provided with an acceleration sensor, and which is swung by a performer is provided. The intensity of a swing of the baton is detected by the acceleration sensor, and controls the tone-generation timing and tone elements such as tone pitches, tone volumes, or tone colors. The intensity of a swing is detected after a predetermined interval has elapsed from the beginning of a swing. As a result, a delay of detection of the intensity due to the inertia of the swing is eliminated. Hence, the swings and the tone-generating timing of musical tones are in harmony, which allows the performer to enjoy a natural feeling of performance.
