Abstract: A control device in one embodiment includes a first transmission unit, a first receiving unit, and a first generation unit. The first transmission unit is configured to transmit first performance data including contents of playing a keyboard instrument at a first communication base to a second communication base. The first receiving unit is configured to receive second performance data from the second communication base. The first generation unit is configured to generate a drive signal to produce a sound in accordance with the second performance data and output the drive signal to a sound generation device at the first communication base. At least one of the first performance data and the second performance data includes a key position signal indicating a key press amount on the keyboard instrument.

Abstract: A keyboard apparatus according to an embodiment includes a keyboard and a mutual capacitance proximity sensor. The keyboard includes a first key and a second key arranged in an array direction with respect to the first key. The proximity sensor includes a first electrode having a portion extending from at least a first area below the first key to a second area below the second key, a second electrode arranged in the first area, and a third electrode arranged in the second area. The proximity sensor is a mutual capacitance type sensor and is configured to use a change in capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode and a change in capacitance between the first electrode and the third electrode.
