摘要： In controlling a sound source for an electronic musical instrument, an operation data of a performance operation member corresponding to musical tone control parameters of a musical instrument is corrected according to a tone generation region characteristic of the musical instrument. The corrected data is inputted to a sound source circuit of the electronic musical instrument thereby a musical tone approximating of the musical instrument is regularly generated. The electronic musical instrument comprises a performance operation member for outputting position and pressure data of an operation member, a sound source for receiving musical tone control parameters corresponding to those of a musical instrument and generating a musical tone simulating that of the musical instrument, and a conversion circuit for converting the position and pressure data to those in a normal tone generation region as the musical tone control parameters in accordance with a tone generation region characteristic based on the musical tone control parameters of the musical instrument. The conversion circuit is connected to the sound source.

摘要： In order to simulate sounds of an acoustic musical instrument such as a bowed stringed instrument, an electronic musical instrument employs a musical tone control apparatus which at least contains an operating device and a detecting circuit. Herein, when operating the operating device which can be operated in a two-dimensional area, the detecting circuit detects operation information corresponding to an operating position or an operating displacement of the operating device. Then, velocity information is generated based on the operation information. Thereafter, a musical tone is generated in response to a musical characteristic corresponding to the velocity information under a condition where the operating device is now operating. Preferably, the operating device is configured by a digitizer on which surface an electronic pen is moved two-dimensionally by the performer. Thus, it is possible to impart the varied performance expression to the musical tone to be generated.

摘要： An electronic musical instrument has an electronic sound source of a physical model simulating the sound mechanism of an acoustic mechanical instrument, in particular, a stringed instrument of the bowing type. The electronic sound source is controlled according to tone pitch information and tone information determining a characteristic of a musical tone to be generated. A keyboard is provided as a data input device by which tone pitch is designated and on which a performance manner is expressed via initial touch and after touch. A memory stores two sets of performance information, each set containing bowing force and bowing velocity information. An interpolating unit operates to access the memory for carrying out interpolation between the two sets of performance information according to the performance manner, and produces respective interpolated performance information regarding bowing force and bowing velocity information effective to control the artificial sound source. The electronic sound source is also controlled by the interpolated performance information.

A manipulation region to be played with a hand manipulator is divided into regions of different performance modes. Tone signal parameters are generated differently depending on the selection of the performance region. Tone generator generates musical tone signals based on the tone signal parameters. The tone signal parameters are determined based on coordinate information on the manipulation region designated by the hand manipulator and pressure information applied on the coordinate position by the hand manipulator. The tone signal parameters comprise velocity information, pressure information and tone pitch information.

摘要： An ensemble system enabling easy, flexible assignment of performance parts to the facilitator and the performers. In “setting” field, performance terminals (facilitator and piano (1 to 5)) are displayed. A pull-down menu for selecting presence/absence of each performance terminal and radio buttons for assigning performance parts are displayed. According to the presence/absence of each student, the selection of a presence/absence menu is inputted. When song title data is selected, a controller (1) reads a part assignment table of the song data and assigns a performance part to each performance terminal for which presence is selected. A performance part can be manually assigned to each performance terminal.
