Therefore, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation by not responding in the normal operation mode but responding only in the intentional operation mode. More specifically, the response control method switches the mode from the first mode to the second mode upon detecting an intentional operation mode, and issues an instruction by an operator operated immediately before in the second operation mode. This is realized by detecting the second operation mode again and switching from the second mode to the first mode for the same operation element that instructs to execute the performed function. Switching to a non-response or a response in a normal operation mode can be relatively easily performed by the operator itself instructing to execute a function.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of an electronic musical instrument using a first embodiment of a method for controlling the response of an operator according to the present invention. This embodiment is a response control device for a plurality of tone switches 4 in which each switch instructs generation of a tone of a specific tone. A keyboard 3 is provided below the panel 1 of the electronic musical instrument main body, and a display 2 such as a liquid crystal display device is provided at the upper center. A plurality of tone switches 4 are provided in the upper portion near the keyboard 3, and a light emitting diode 5 is further provided on each tone switch 4. On the left and right sides of the display 2, other operator groups A6 and B7 are provided. Are located. The light-emitting diode 5 corresponds to the tone switch 4 below the light-emitting diode 5, and is turned on when the corresponding switch is pressed to execute the corresponding function.

The other operator groups A6 and B7 are not limited to ON and OFF types such as switches,
There may also be analog type controls such as volume control, pitch bend wheel, or modulation wheel. In addition to setting operators for setting various parameter values in advance, there are also performance operators for setting during the performance. In this example, the setting operation of the performance style and the setting of various utilities are performed in a menu system. A menu screen is displayed on the display unit 3, and the setting data is input by selecting a setting item using the cursor keys included in the other operation element group A6 or the other operation element group B7, and selecting a setting value using the ten keys. I do.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an electronic musical instrument using a first embodiment of a response control method for an operator according to the present invention. The bus line 11 includes a CPU 12, a RAM 13,
ROM 14, input device 15, sound source 16, display 17, M
Each block of the IDI interface 18 is connected. The CPU 12 reads a program from the ROM 14, writes the program into the RAM 13, and executes the program on the RAM 13. The CPU 15 captures information from various input devices 15 including the keyboard 2, the tone switch 4, the other operator group A6, and the other operator group B7 shown in FIG. A signal is generated and MIDI (Mu
MIDI data is output to an external device through a sical instrument digital interface (I / F) interface 18. Although not shown in this figure, the tone data may be emitted from the built-in speaker through the A / D converter through the waveform data generated by the sound source 16.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a state transition of a response to the tone switch 4 of the electronic musical instrument shown in FIG. The plurality of tone switches 4 constitute an operator group, and each tone switch 4 instructs generation of a tone of a corresponding tone. Each tone switch 4 has a single-click operation mode, which is a normal operation mode, and a double-click operation mode, which is an intentional operation mode that is less likely to be erroneously operated. This double-click is the same operation mode as the double-click used in the operation of the mouse button, which is one of the input devices of the personal computer. The response control state of the tone switch 4 includes a normal response state and a panel lock mode which are normal response states. The normal mode corresponds to the panel lock-off state 21. The panel lock mode has two sub-modes. Each sub-mode includes a panel lock standby state 22 and a panel lock on state 23.
Corresponding to

In this embodiment, in the normal mode, the panel lock-off state 21 is detected, and when the operation mode detecting means detects a single click, the execution instruction of the tone setting corresponding to the operated tone switch 4 is validated.
Then, when the setting of the lock mode is instructed from the panel, the first sub mode of the panel lock mode is set, and the mode is switched to the panel lock standby state 22. To switch from the first and second sub-modes of the panel lock mode to the normal mode, the lock mode is released from the panel in the panel lock standby state 22 or the panel lock on state 23. Set the lock mode from the panel,
The setting is released, for example, when setting the system menu. That is, the operation is performed using the operators included in the other operators A6 and B7 while watching the menu screen of the display 3 shown in FIG. Alternatively, a dedicated switch for setting and releasing the lock mode may be provided on the panel 1.

Next, a method of controlling the response of the operator in the panel lock mode will be described. Panel lock standby state 2
In step 2, a single click of the tone switch 4 is detected, and an instruction to execute tone setting corresponding to the operated tone switch 4 is validated. In the panel lock-on state 23, even when a single click of the tone switch 4 is detected, the execution instruction of the tone setting corresponding to the operated tone switch 4 is locked, and this tone setting is not executed. When the double click of the tone switch 4 is detected in the panel lock standby state 22, the execution instruction of the tone setting corresponding to the operated tone switch 4 is validated, and the state is switched to the panel lock on state 23.

In the panel lock-on state 23, when the double click of the tone switch 4 for instructing the execution of the setting of the same tone as the current tone is detected, in other words, the tone switch 4 operated by the double click immediately before is detected. When the double click is detected again, the mode is switched from the sub-mode of the panel lock on state 23 to the mode of the panel lock standby state 22. At this time, an instruction to execute the tone color setting corresponding to the tone color switch 4 can be given again, but this is not necessary. Also, the panel lock on state 23
In the above, when the double click of the tone switch 4 for instructing the execution of the setting of the tone different from the current tone is detected, in other words, the double click is detected for the tone switch 4 different from the one operated by the previous double click. Then, the state remains in the panel lock-on state 23, but an execution instruction for setting a different timbre corresponding to the timbre switch 4 is issued.

As is clear from the above description, even in the panel lock mode, it is not to completely not respond to a single click. Even when the user does not respond, it is possible to relatively easily switch between the locked state and the responsive state by operating the tone switch 4 itself for giving a function execution instruction. Then, different from the single operation mode, which is the normal operation mode, a double operation mode, which is a special operation mode that is less likely to be erroneously operated, is set, and the function assigned to the tone switch 4 is blocked for the normal operation mode. Since the function of setting the timbre of the timbre switch 4 is executed only in a special operation mode in which erroneous operation is unlikely to be performed erroneously, the risk of erroneous operation is reduced.

The above-described double-click operation mode is merely an example of an intentional operation mode that is unlikely to be erroneously operated with respect to a single-click normal operation mode. The above clicks can be used. The number of clicks and the click interval can be arbitrarily set. Alternatively, it is also possible to adopt an operation mode in which the length of time during which the tone switch 4 is pressed is kept longer than usual, for example, kept pressed for several seconds.

In order to realize the above-described method for controlling the response of the operating elements, an operation mode detecting means for detecting an operation mode such as a single click of a plurality of tone switches 4 and a plurality of processes with the hardware configuration shown in FIG. An operation instructing unit that has a mode and enables or locks the tone color setting execution instruction corresponding to the operated tone color switch 4 and a unit that instructs setting and canceling of the lock mode may be used. Then, a program of the electronic musical instrument including a response control program of the operator for realizing such a function is stored in the ROM 14.

In the above description, the response control to the tone switch 4 disposed near the keyboard 2 has been described. The above-described tone switch 4 is provided for the entire operator including the other operator group A6 and the other operator group B7 in FIG. 1, an operator group of a specific function, or a single operator. Response control similar to response control for If the same response control is applied to a specific operator that is likely to be erroneously operated by the player according to the habit of the player, the operator will function even if the player accidentally operates the operator unintentionally during the performance. Only when the performer intentionally operates the operator without the response to the execution instruction being locked and responding, a state can be provided in which there is a response from the operator and the function is executed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the state transition of the response of one function switch as a second embodiment of the response control method of the present invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, the panel lock on state 23 is changed to the panel lock standby state 2
Switching to 2 is also performed by double-clicking the function switch. At this time, if this function switch turns on / off the function independently of other function switches, execution of the function corresponding to this function switch is stopped in response to double-clicking this function switch. Instructions to make it work. Alternatively, if the function switch turns ON / OFF the function in cooperation with another function switch, no instruction is given to the task side executing the function.
An example of the latter is a group of tone switches in which the tone switches only when another tone switch is pressed.

FIGS. 5 to 8 are flowcharts for explaining an example of processing steps of a response control method for the tone switch 4 of the electronic musical instrument shown in FIG. FIG.
9 is a flowchart of an initialization process when starting up the electronic musical instrument and a process of setting a panel lock mode. FIG.
9 is a flowchart of a switch operation mode detection process. FIG. 7 is a more detailed flowchart in the case of a single click in S54 of FIG. 6 (switch processing 1). FIG. 8 is a more detailed flowchart in the case of a double click in S53 of FIG. 6 (switch processing 2). The state of the panel lock is determined by the identification of the panel lock flag, and has three states of “off”, “standby”, and “on”. "Off" indicates that the panel is not locked,
"Waiting" indicates that the panel lock state can be entered by performing a predetermined operation on the tone switch 4, and "ON" indicates the panel lock state. As an operation procedure for performing the panel lock, after starting the system, when setting the mode by the system menu, the system is set to the standby state, and the tone switch 4 is double-clicked before the performance.

The initialization process for starting up the electronic musical instrument shown on the left side of FIG. 5 is started when the electronic musical instrument system is powered on. In S31, the RAM 13 shown in FIG.
And other internal memories are initialized, and the process proceeds to S32. In S32, the sound source 16 and the display 1
The device such as 7 is initialized, and the process proceeds to S33. In S33, the panel lock flag is turned off, the response state of the timbre switch 4 is set to the normal mode as in a general electronic musical instrument, and the processing at the time of startup is completed.

The panel lock mode setting process shown on the right side of FIG. 5 is started when the player opens the system menu and sets the normal mode or the panel lock mode. At this stage, the performer indicates to the electronic musical instrument whether or not to use the panel lock mode. When you want to use the panel lock mode, put it in a standby state that can be used from time to time. S41
, The panel lock flag is set to "standby" to enter the panel lock mode, and the panel lock flag is set to "off" to enter the normal mode as in the initialization.

FIG. 6 starts when a switch trigger event is detected. Controllers of all switch types (hereafter,
Simply called a switch)
Switch on / off information is fetched into the RAM 13 as a switch number or a flag corresponding to each switch, and a switch trigger event is detected and the operated switch is specified. In S51, the occurrence time interval of the switch trigger event of the specified switch is counted, and the process proceeds to S52. In S53, it is determined whether or not the depression (ON) of the same switch is detected again within a predetermined time. If it is detected, it is determined that the switch has been double-clicked, and the process proceeds to S53. It is determined that a single click has been made, and the process proceeds to S54.

In switch processing 1 in FIG. 7,
In S61, it is determined whether or not the panel lock flag is “ON”. If “ON”, the process proceeds to S62, and if “OFF”, the process proceeds to S63. In S62, it is determined whether or not the specified switch is the tone switch 4. If the switch is the tone switch 4, the execution instruction to the task for setting the tone is locked, and the process is performed without causing the task to execute the tone setting. If not, the process proceeds to S63. In S63, the task is instructed to execute the function corresponding to the specified switch, and the switch response control process ends.

In the switching process 2 in FIG. 8,
In S71, the panel lock flag is determined, and "ON"
If so, the process proceeds to S72; if "standby", S7.
The process proceeds to S74, and if "OFF", the process proceeds to S74. In S72, it is determined whether or not the switching timbre corresponding to the specified timbre switch 4 matches the current timbre. If they match, the process proceeds to S75, and the panel lock flag is set to "standby". The process ends without causing the task for setting the tone to execute the function. If they do not match, the process proceeds to S74. In S73, the panel lock flag is set to “ON”, and in S74
Processing proceeds to In S74, execution of the tone color setting is instructed for the task of setting the tone color corresponding to the tone color switch 4 operated to execute the tone color switching, and the response control process of the tone color switch 4 ends.

As is clear from the above description, when the panel lock-on state 23 shown in FIG. 3 is entered, the switching of the timbre cannot be performed unless the timbre switch 4 is double-clicked. In order to release the panel lock on state 23 and enter the panel lock standby state 22, it is sufficient to double-click the tone switch 4 corresponding to the currently selected tone. The currently selected timbre can be easily recognized by the light emitting diode 5 shown in FIG. Suppose that the timbre switch 4 is double-clicked to switch the timbre to piano. During the performance,
To switch to the fourth tone color, the fourth tone color switch 4 may be double-clicked. On the other hand, when the panel lock on state 23 is to be released and the panel lock standby state 22 is to be set, the first tone switch should be double-clicked again.

Here, for example, in the panel lock-on state 23 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the MIDI shown in FIG.
Various control information input through the interface 18 will be described. When control information is input from the outside through the MIDI interface 18, the control information is recognized as it is and a response process is performed. Alternatively, if a special input mode is individually defined and set in the control information from the outside according to the input mode of the control information, and the input mode of the control information matches the preset special input mode, Response processing may be performed. For example, in response to a special input mode in which "program change" for instructing execution of a certain tone is input a plurality of times in succession with respect to "program change" which is control information of tone color setting, Is performed, and this tone is set.

In this case, when the panel lock ON state 23 is to be released and the panel lock standby state 22 is required,
As in the case of the state transition diagrams shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the player may double-click an operator for instructing execution of the same function as the current function instructed by the input control information. For example, the entered "program change"
The player may double-click the timbre switch 4 for instructing the execution of the same timbre setting as the current timbre changed by the above.

On the other hand, even if control information for instructing execution of the same function as the current function is input from the MIDI interface 18 in a special input mode, for example, a program change instruction for executing the setting of the same timbre as the current timbre is provided. Is entered in a special input mode, it is preferable that the panel lock is not released without switching to the panel lock standby state 22. Similarly, switching from the panel lock standby state 22 to the panel lock on state 23
It is preferable that the control information is not switched even if it is input in a special input mode.

Next, various control information output through the MIDI interface 18 shown in FIG. 2 in the panel lock-on state 23 will be described. In the panel lock-on state 23 as well, control information is output in accordance with the response control for the operator on the panel 1. That is, when an instruction to execute a different function is issued by double-clicking the operation element, control information for instructing to execute the different function is output to the outside. For example, when an instruction to execute setting of a tone different from the current tone is issued by double-clicking the tone switch, a "program change" for instructing to execute the setting of the different tone is output to the outside.

In the above description, an example in which the panel lock is mainly performed on the tone switch 4 has been described. A switch provided on the panel 1 of FIG. 1 is changed according to its function or a position on the panel, for example, a distance from a keyboard, for example, a plurality of switch groups, for example, a tone switch 4, and another operator group A6. , And another operation group B7, a panel lock state flag may be prepared for each group, and response control may be separately managed for each group. Further, a panel lock state flag may be prepared for each switch to individually control the response of the switches. Also, the intentional operation mode can be made different for each of these groups or switches. Response control and intentional operation mode may be determined by a combination of the function and the position.

Next, a configuration in which the player can freely set the above-described intentional operation mode will be described. Means is provided for the player to set an intentional operation mode in advance. For example,
A plurality of operation modes are prepared in advance on the response control device side of the operator, and the player selects and sets a desired one from among them. Alternatively, a storage unit is provided for each switch or for each group, and a user who performs the performance freely writes a response for each switch or group. The player actually performs an intentional operation using the operator such as the tone switch 4 in advance, and writes a sequence of the operation in the storage unit. Then, the operation mode of the operated timbre switch 4 is compared with the operation mode stored in the above-described storage unit, and if it is determined that they match, it is possible to detect a freely set intentional operation mode.

At this time, the intentional operation mode is not limited to a simple double-click, but a complicated operation sequence such as a “password” may be provided by allowing the player to input a desired response method. It is possible. When intentionally operating the same response control for a plurality of switch groups as an intentional operation mode, in the setting mode,
The order of pressing and switches to be pressed at the same time can be written in the storage unit and used. A sequence in which a plurality of other switches are simultaneously pressed while one switch is being pressed, or a sequence in which one switch is pressed and another switch is double-clicked is used. To assign a function execution instruction to such an intentional operation mode, for example, a function corresponding to a switch pressed first and a switch pressed once may be assigned. To write the operation sequence,
A function of a sequencer program that records the operation of the keyboard 2 and various performance operators, which may be used in an electronic musical instrument, with progress of time may be used.

In the above description, an instruction to execute a function corresponding to the operated switch is issued even for an intentional operation mode. However, only the switching between the panel lock standby state 22 and the panel lock on state 23 may be performed depending on the intentional operation mode.
Further, switching from the panel lock standby state 22 to the panel lock on state 23 and switching from the opposite panel lock on state 23 to the panel lock standby state 22 include:
Different intentional operation modes may be used.
When the intentional operation mode is used only for switching the mode state as described above, the same intentional operation mode can be determined for a plurality of switch groups. For example,
Pressing two arbitrary switches at the same time in the switch group can be set as an intentional operation mode, and it does not matter which switch is pressed. When this intentional operation mode is set using a sequencer, the sequencer has a magic number.

In the above description, the response control is performed for the ON / OFF switch type operation element. However, in addition to this, analog output type controls
By determining an operation mode in which an erroneous operation is unlikely to be performed in an ordinary operation mode, for example, an operation with a large change in the operation amount or an operation with a large change rate as an intentional operation mode, similar response control is possible. In the above description, the normal mode is provided. However, only the panel lock mode may be used, and the state may be switched only between the panel lock standby state 22 and the panel lock ON state 23. In the above description, the response control method of the operator has been described using the operator of the electronic musical instrument as a specific example. However, the present invention can also be applied to response control of an operator in a device different from an electronic musical instrument. In particular, it is preferable to apply the present invention to an apparatus in which an erroneous operation by a user gives an undesirable result. In the above description, RO
Although the response control program of the operator is recorded in M, it may be recorded on a hard disk when the apparatus has a hard disk drive (HDD). In addition, a response control program for the operator is transferred from an external network or a memory card in the form of a PC card to the RA in the apparatus.
M may be supplied.

[0038]

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, by providing a mode for responding only to the intentional operation mode, an erroneous operation can be performed when the operator is accidentally touched. The effect is that it can be prevented.
