Left- and right-hand keystroke windows X.sub.L and X.sub.H are decided in accordance with the positions of player's left and right hands pressing keys. When the number of pressed keys in either one of the windows X.sub.L and X.sub.H are larger than a predetermined value, that window is decided to be used as a chord identifying window, and on the basis of a combination of pressed keys in the chord identifying window, an accompaniment chord is decided for automatic accompaniment.

A rhythm pattern memory having rhythm patterns stored therein, the rhythm patterns being composed of pattern data corresponding to the types of percussion instruments, and a conversion table memory having a plurality of conversion tables for altering sound data each representative of a desired percussion instrument sound to sound data representative of an other percussion instrument sound are provided. A desired percussion instrument sound data in the rhythm pattern selected from the rhythm pattern memory by a rhythm pattern selector is altered to a desired percussion sound data according to the conversion table selected from the conversion table memory by the conversion table selector, and the resulting percussion sound data is converted by a sound source to the corresponding percussion sound signal to be output.

An initial note series is collected from a real-time source of musical input material such as a keyboard or a sequencer playing back musical data, or extracted from musical data stored in memory. The initial note series may be altered to create variations of the initial note series using various mathematical operations. The resulting altered note series, or other data stored in memory is read out according to one or more patterns. The patterns may have steps containing pools of independently selectable items from which random selections are made. A pseudo-random number generator is employed to perform the random selections during processing, where the random sequences thereby generated have the ability to be repeated at specific musical intervals. The resulting musical effect may additionally incorporate a repeated effect, or a repeated effect can be independently performed from input notes in the musical input material. The repeated notes are generated according to one or more patterns, which may also have steps containing pools of random selections. A duration control means is used to avoid polyphony problems and provide novel effects. Pitch-bending effects may be additionally generated as part of the musical effect, or can be independently performed. A sliding control window may be utilized to achieve accurate and realistic pitch-bending effects. This method and the apparatus that can perform such a method have application to music and other data in general as well.
摘要:
Conversion of input notes to a scale corresponding to a desired chord may be achieved using dynamic conversion apparatus and methods and possibly including overrides for non-chordal tones, instead of fixed, dedicated tables for each chord type. Conversion of input notes to output notes corresponding to a desired conversion map may also be achieved using dynamic conversion apparatus and methods instead of fixed, dedicated tables for each map. Both result in a savings of memory and effort, and greater diversity of control.
