摘要： A plurality of units for generating or controlling a tone are used in an electronic musical instrument, the number of which is variable depending on a performance grade of the electronic musical instrument. There is supplied control information for generating or controlling a tone, such as performance event data. Each of the units has identification information defining control information to be used by the unit and determines, in accordance with the identification information, whether or not a tone signal based on the supplied control information is to be generated or controlled.

摘要： Electronic musical instrument interactively connected with a music application apparatus automatically returns a response signal when a predetermined identification request signal is received from the music application apparatus. Upon receipt of the response signal transmitted by the musical instrument in response to the identification request signal, the application apparatus determines whether or not the connected musical instrument is of a predetermined identity. Thus, for each electronic musical instrument authorized to execute the music application, the application apparatus can perform control to allow the music application to be executed in a normal mode, while, for each electronic musical instrument not authorized to execute the music application, the application apparatus can perform control to inhibit the application from being executed or allow the application to be executed only in a limited function mode.

摘要： A music game apparatus displays a given game screen according to music piece information. The game screen includes images of performance operators to be operated according to the music piece information. The game apparatus transmits, to an electronic musical apparatus including performance operators, e.g. keys, guide information for providing a performance guide to indicate a particular operator (key) to be operated at timing earlier than timing at which the particular operator should be operated. The musical apparatus provides display to indicate to the user the particular operator to be operated according to the received guide information. The game apparatus may control the musical apparatus to prohibit the performance guide from being carried out according to note information other than the guide information. Further, the game apparatus may control the music apparatus so as to prohibit operation related information representing the operated performance operator from being supplied to a tone generator.

摘要： In an automatic performance system, song and style data DAi and DCj (i:1 through n, j:1 through m) contains tempo and meter data TPa, TMa; TPc, TMc, respectively, so that the style data DCj whose tempo and meter data matches with those of the song data DAi is reproduced concurrently with the song data DAi. On the basis of user's settings, furthermore, style setting data SS (DBi) indicating style data DCk (k:1 through m) to be concurrently reproduced and tone color setting data VS (DBi) for setting a manual tone color are stored in association with the song data DAi. Based on the style setting data SS, the style data DCk associated with the song data DAi is reproduced concurrently with the song data DAi, or a manual performance is conducted, during the reproduction of the song data DAi, on the basis of tone color data derived from the tone color setting data VS. As described above, settings of a style and tone color for manual performance suitable for a song is achieved.

摘要： In a memory of a communication setting apparatus, there is stored communication setting information that collectively predefines a plurality of communication condition parameters corresponding to a communication mode. The plurality of communication condition parameters are intended to set whether a plurality of kinds of tone performance data (e.g., tone performance data based on operation on a keyboard and tone performance data based on an automatic performance) and control data (e.g., tempo clock data) should be transmitted or received. When a user has selected a communication mode by operation of a predetermined switch, the communication setting information corresponding to the selected communication mode is read out from the memory, and tone performance data and/or control data are set to condition for transmission or reception in accordance with a plurality of communication condition parameters defined by the communication setting information.
