Abstract: A sound production control apparatus has a position detector that detects, in accordance with a playing operation of a musical instrument, a position of a key displaceable within a movement range from a start position to an end position. The movement range includes a sounding range including a sounding position and a setting range that is closer to the start position than the sounding range. The apparatus causes a played sound associated with the key to be produced upon the detected position of the key reaching the sounding position, while controlling a characteristic of the played sound depending on a displacement characteristic of the key within the setting range before the key is positioned in the sounding range.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment, a content control device for a content divided into multiple playback sections includes at least one memory storing executable instructions and a processor that implements the executable instructions to execute a plurality of tasks. The plurality of tasks include a selecting task, a first acquiring task and an outputting task. The selecting task selects a playback section among the multiple playback sections. The first acquiring task acquires a first operation value in response to an operation of a first operation unit. The outputting task that outputs a plurality of parameter values. The plurality of parameter values are used for varying the content in the selected playback section, corresponding to the acquired first operation value based on control data that defines a relationship between the first operation value and the plurality of parameter values.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic musical instrument. The electrical musical instrument is configured to generate an internal acoustic signal; generate a sound generation instruction signal; output the sound generation instruction signal to an external sound source configured to generate an external acoustic signal; switch a first state in which the external acoustic signal is generated by the external sound source in response to the sound generation instruction signal, to a second state in which the internal acoustic signal is generated in response to the sound generation instruction signal; and, when the first state is switched to the second state, control the volume of the internal acoustic signal such that the state relating to the volume of sound generation based on the internal acoustic signal approaches the state relating to the volume of sound generation based on the external acoustic signal.

Abstract: An electric acoustic apparatus includes a supply unit that supplies sound-generation information including timing information representing a start of a sound-generation, a storage storing sound control pattern data representing a pattern of over-time change of a parameter defining a behavior of a sound, a reproducer that reproduces the sound control pattern data, and a sound signal generator that generates a sound signal representing a sound according to the sound-generation information and changes the behavior of the sound based on the reproduced sound control pattern data. The reproducer controls a reproduction behavior of the sound control pattern data according to the sound-generation information.
