Abstract:
An instrument playing apparatus has: a movable member configured to be displaced responsive to a playing operation of a user; a detection part formed from a magnetic or conductive body and disposed on the movable member; and a filter that includes a coil. The filter has a frequency response that changes depending on a distance between the detection part and the coil, and generates a detection signal from a reference signal.
Abstract:
A keyboard musical instrument includes a string-striking mechanism (hammer), driver, sound receiver, analyzer, and adjuster. The hammer strikes a string responsive to a change in position of an associated key of keyboard. The driver drives the hammer under a driving condition in accordance with control data. The sound receiver generates an audio signal corresponding to a sound occurring in the vicinity of the hammer. The analyzer detects the hammer striking a string by analyzing the audio signal generated when the hammer operates. The adjuster adjusts the control data in accordance with results of the analysis. The analyzer detects hammer striking a string in accordance with an intensity of the audio signal occurring within a search range, which has a predetermined relationship along a time axis with regard to a time at which the hammer commences operation.
Abstract:
A keyboard device includes a plurality of keys, and a keyboard driver configured to drive at least a part of the plurality of keys. The keyboard device is configured such that, in accordance with determination whether a key corresponding to a pitch of event data is drivable by the keyboard driver, sound is generated based on a first sound-generating process in which the keyboard driver is configured to drive the key corresponding to the pitch or a second sound-generating process that is different from the first sound-generating process.

Abstract:
A distribution destination specifying device includes: a related information obtaining portion that obtains related information that indicates a relationship of a plurality of host devices that distribute content to be input, to a client device; a selection receiving portion that receives a selection of one host device among the plurality of host devices; a related host device identifying portion that identifies a related host device related to a selected host device to be selected by the selection receiving portion, based on the related information; and a distribution destination specifying screen display portion that displays a distribution destination specifying screen for specifying a client device as a distribution destination of content of each of the selected host device and the related host device.
Abstract:
A performance recording apparatus includes: a performance information acquiring unit which is configured to acquire performance information indicating a performance performed by a performer; a musical score information acquiring unit which is configured to acquire musical score information indicating a musical score that is used in the performance; and a producing unit which is configured to produce a performance file containing the performance information and the musical score information.
Abstract:
In a musical instrument, such as a piano, having a sound board, the sound board vibrates in response to vibrations of a string responsive to depression of a key. A waveform corresponding to such vibrations of the sound board is detected and recorded. The recorded vibration waveform is usable for reproduction of a sound based on sound board vibrations. In a sound reproduction apparatus, such as a piano, having a sound board, an excitation device physically excitable in response to an input waveform is provided on the sound board. A signal indicative of a vibration waveform of the sound board is received, and the excitation device is driven in accordance with the received waveform signal so that the sound board is vibrated. Thus, a sound based on the sound board vibrations can be replicated or reproduced with a high quality.

A keyboard device includes a plurality of keys, and a keyboard driver configured to drive at least a part of the plurality of keys. The keyboard device is configured such that sound is generated based on a first sound-generating process in which the keyboard driver is configured to drive a key corresponding to a first pitch, upon receiving performance data including the first pitch. The keyboard device is configured such that sound is generated based on a second sound-generating process that is different from the first sound-generating process, upon receiving performance data including a second pitch that is different from the first pitch.
Abstract:
A musical-performance analysis device includes: an acquisition section that acquires performance information of a player; a determination section that determines, by comparing the performance information acquired by the acquisition section with reference information indicating a reference of a performance, among performance segments different from one another, a performance segment in which a difference degree between the performance information acquired by the acquisition section and the reference information is large and a performance segment in which the difference degree between the performance information acquired by the acquisition section and the reference information is small; and the specification section that specifies a tendency of the performance on the basis of the difference degree of the performance segment in which the difference degree has been determined to be small by the determination section.
