Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make enjoyable an instrumental performance of selected music simultaneously with the song or one of the song and a musical instrument alone by providing a musical instrument that a player can play, displaying music data needed to play the musical instrument at a display part, and synthesizing the musical instrument played sound of the player with a played sound reproduced based on the music data and outputting the synthesized sound. SOLUTION: While the text of selected music is displayed on a monitor 4 so that musical data of the music are divided by parts, for example, the musical score and rhythm are displayed. Here, when the player makes a choice of playing a keyboard 7 over singing, the played sound outputted from a speaker is so controlled that the sound volume of the part of the keyboard 7 is suppressed lower than other sound volume as compared with a normal music performance. Then the played sound of the musical instrument that the player plays is amplified and outputted from the speaker 6 as well as singing. Thus, the player can not only sing the song, but also enjoy playing the musical instrument.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has a display section for synthesizing and outputting a performance sound reproduced based on stored music data and a player's voice, and displaying lyrics of the music to be played. The present invention relates to a karaoke game device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, in most karaoke game machines, the performance of a music piece selected by a player is output and the player sings in accordance with the output. Furthermore, a karaoke game device with a scoring function for displaying a player's singing ability by scores or the like is well known.

[0003]

However, at present, there is no conventional karaoke game apparatus in which a player plays a musical instrument and outputs the performance together with a performance sound reproduced based on music data. is there.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a karaoke game apparatus capable of synthesizing a sound output of a musical instrument played by a player with a performance sound of music data in the same manner as a song and outputting the result. Is an issue.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention synthesizes a performance sound reproduced based on stored music data and a voice of a player, and outputs the synthesized music. A karaoke game machine having a display unit for displaying lyrics
The display unit displays music data necessary for playing the musical instrument, and synthesizes and outputs a musical performance sound of a player with a performance sound reproduced based on the music data. I have.

The present invention is effective when the performance sound reproduced based on the music data is synthesized with the player performance sound and the player voice and output.
Further, the present invention is effective when the musical instrument is an electronic musical instrument capable of electrically amplifying and outputting a generated audio signal.

Further, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention synthesizes and outputs a performance sound reproduced based on stored music data and a voice of a player, and displays lyrics of the played music. In a karaoke game apparatus having a display unit, a player can play a musical instrument, and the display unit displays music data necessary for playing the musical instrument. It is characterized in that means for comparing the signal with the musical instrument to score the playing ability is provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an outline of a karaoke game device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a karaoke game device.

In FIG. 1, a host computer 1 of a karaoke company is connected to a server 2 of a karaoke store. In the karaoke store, terminals 3 installed in respective rooms are connected to the server 2. In each room, a monitor 4, a microphone 5, and a speaker 6 are provided via a terminal 3.

The karaoke game device according to the present embodiment is
As shown in FIG. 2, a keyboard 7, a drum 8, and a turntable 9 as musical instruments are provided via a terminal 3. In this case, the drum 8 is fixed to the terminal 3, but the microphone 5 and the keyboard 7 are connected to the terminal 3 via a cord (not shown). Note that the microphone 5 and the keyboard 7 can be set cordless.

FIG. 3 is a control block diagram of the karaoke game machine. A signal of music data 10 from a server 2 is input to a control unit 10 provided in a terminal 3, and a monitor 4 and a microphone are provided. 5, a speaker 6, a keyboard 7, a drum 8, and a turntable 9 are connected.

On the monitor 2, the music data 10 of the selected music is divided into parts and the lyrics 11 of the music are displayed as shown in FIG. Is displayed. The display of the music data is configured to be moved in accordance with the progress of the music, like the display of lyrics of a conventional karaoke.

[0013] The karaoke game apparatus having the above-described structure can enjoy the musical performance of the selected music at the same time as the singing or the singing and the musical instrument alone. Here, when the player selects a performance of the keyboard 7 while singing, for example, the performance sound output from the speaker is produced with the volume of the part of the keyboard 7 being suppressed to be lower than the other volume as compared with the normal music performance. Is controlled as follows.
It is also possible to control so that the sound of the keyboard in charge of the player is not emitted in the performance sound. Then, the performance sound of the musical instrument played by the player is amplified like a song and output from the speaker 6.

Further, in the control when the musical instrument performance is selected, if the musical instrument is divided into parts such as a melody and a rhythm, such as an electric guitar, the player may select the melody or the rhythm. Can,
At this time, the control is performed so that the performance sound of the selected part is sounded with a small volume or turned off.

As described above, the karaoke game apparatus of the present invention allows the player to not only sing a song but also enjoy playing a musical instrument. Moreover, since one or a plurality of players can simultaneously perform a musical instrument while singing one song, the way of enjoying karaoke increases.

FIG. 5 is a control block diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this example, when a performance signal played by a player is input to the control unit 10, the signal is amplified and a speaker is output in the above embodiment. 6, the performance signal is also input to the comparator 14. And this comparator 14
Then, the input signal of the player and the signal of the music data are compared, and scoring is performed by, for example, a deduction method. After the performance is completed, the result is displayed on the monitor 4.

With this configuration, the player can easily know how correctly the musical instrument has been played.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to only the above-described embodiment.
It can be variously modified. For example, any musical instrument can be used as long as it is an electronic musical instrument capable of electrically amplifying and outputting a generated audio signal, regardless of the type.

Further, the present invention can be applied to a karaoke game apparatus using a recording medium such as a CD-ROM in which music data is stored.

[0020]

According to the configuration of the first aspect, the player can enjoy playing the musical instrument. According to the configuration of the second aspect, the player can simultaneously enjoy playing the instrument while singing.

According to the configuration of the fourth aspect, the player's musical performance ability can be easily known.
