Thereafter, the Nth picking mark 404
Has reached the reference line 403 and the sounding timing has come (step S10; Yes), the CPU 8 transmits the light emitting fret button 23 and the picking operation buttons 21 and 22.
Is determined (step S11), and the light emitting fret button 23 and the picking operation button 2
When the correct performance operation corresponding to the operation guide is performed by pressing the buttons 1 and 22, (step S11; Yes),
An instruction to generate a tone corresponding to the operated button is output to the sound source 9. The sound source 9 generates a corresponding musical sound in response to the musical sound generation instruction, passes it to the audio processing unit 10, and
After performing processing such as / A conversion, sound is emitted from the speaker 7 (step S12).

Then, the CPU 8 adds the score to a score register (not shown) (step S13).

At step S11, the fret button 23 corresponding to the operation guide and the picking operation button 2
If it is determined that the operations 1 and 22 are not operated and the operation is erroneous (step S11; No), the process proceeds to step S14 without emitting the musical tone of the chord and without adding the score.

At step S14, the CPU 8 reports the result of the performance practice (step S14). During the performance practice, for example, when a correct performance operation is performed, the score stored in the score register is displayed on the display unit 4 or all the light-emitting buttons 2A are flashed for a moment. You. If a performance operation is missed, the user is notified by a method of displaying the fact on the display unit 4 or the like.

Further, the CPU 8 turns off the light emitting button 2A corresponding to the N-th code (step S15), and increments the counter N (N + 1 → N; step S1).
6). If the song has not ended (step S17; N
o), returning to step S6, performing operation guide such as display of the code name 401, display of the picking mark 404, display of the picking direction mark 402 on the display unit 4, lighting of the light emission button 2A, and the like, and picking of the Nth picking The fret button 23 and the picking operation button 2 that emit light when the mark 404 arrives at the reference line 403
If 1, 22 is operated, it is determined that the correct operation has been performed, and the points are added. If the correct operation is not performed, the result is displayed. The displayed and illuminated button is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next code.

Thus, the processing of steps S6 to S16 is sequentially repeated until the end of the music, and when the music ends, a series of performance practice processing ends.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, a specific example of the operation guide displayed in the performance practice processing will be described. In the operation guide data corresponding to the performance data used in the performance practice processing, the first code is set to “Am”, the second code is set to “C”, and the third code is set to “D”. It is assumed that

A music (performance data) is selected by the processing of steps S1 to S4, the operation guide data corresponding to the performance data is read out, and after performing the initialization processing in step S5, the processing in step S6 is performed. The first code “Am” and the second code “C” are displayed on the display unit 4 as the code name 401 as shown in FIG.
Then, when the lighting timing determined by the lighting timing data of the first code of the operation guide data arrives, the picking mark 404 and the picking direction mark 402 corresponding to the N-th code are displayed on the display unit by the processing of step S8. 4 is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 1, down-picking is instructed by the picking direction mark 402, and the picking mark 404 displays an “」 ”mark for the first to fifth strings and an“ x ”mark for the sixth string. The picking mark 404 is moved and displayed so as to sequentially approach the reference line 403 as the performance progresses. Further, the fret buttons 23e, 23i, and 23j corresponding to the first code are turned on by the processing in step S9, and the down picking operation button 21 is turned on.

With such an operation guide displayed, the user operates the lit fret buttons 23e, 23e.
When the picking operation button 21 that is lit is pressed down in accordance with the arrival of the reference line of the picking mark 404, it is determined that a correct performance operation has been input, and the code of “Am” is output from the speaker 7. Is emitted and the score is added. Also, the result is displayed.

In this case, whether or not the correct performance operation has been input is determined, for example, by first reading the tone generation timing data of each chord set in the performance data corresponding to the currently displayed operation guide from the performance data memory 11a. ,
At the time of the sounding timing of the code of “Am” (corresponding to the time when the reference line of the picking mark 404 arrives) or at a preset allowable time period of several seconds, the pressing signal of the lit picking operation button 21 Is determined based on whether or not is detected. If the signal for pressing the picking operation button 21 is not detected when the reference line arrives, the score is subtracted or nothing is added. Conversely, if the signal of pressing the picking operation button 21 is detected when the reference line arrives, the score is added.

When a signal for depressing the picking operation button 21 is detected when the reference line arrives, the pitch data set in the "Am" code is further read from the performance data memory 11a. Compare the pitch specified by the pressing signal of the fret button 23,
Points are added or subtracted according to the comparison result (the number of pitches that match each other). Also, the result is displayed.

The method of determining the performance operation may be another method. For example, during the operation guide display, the performance data is stored according to the pressing operation of each button,
In response to the code of “Am”, the user presses the lit picking operation button 21 when the reference line of the picking mark 404 arrives (at this time, an allowable time period of several seconds is provided in advance). It may be determined whether or not the tone generation timing data is stored in the performance data memory 11 a of the storage unit 11. If the tone generation timing data is not stored when the reference line arrives, the score is subtracted or nothing is added.
Conversely, if the sounding timing data is stored when the reference line arrives, the score is added.

Next, the display shifts to the operation guide display of the second code "C". As shown in FIG. 6, the current code name “C” and the next code name “D” are displayed on the display unit 4.
In addition, as picking marks 404 corresponding to the current code “C”, “○” marks are displayed on the first to fifth strings, and “×” marks are displayed on the sixth string. Picking direction mark 402
A right arrow indicating down picking is displayed. Further, the fret buttons 23e, 23i, 23n are turned on as operation guides corresponding to the "C" code, and the down picking operation button 21 is turned on.

In such a state that the operation guide is displayed, the user presses the lit fret buttons 23e, 23i and 23n and sets the lit picking operation button 22 to the reference of the picking mark 404. If the button is pressed when the line arrives, it is determined that the correct performance operation has been input, and the musical tone of the code "C" is emitted, and the score is added. Also, the result is displayed. As described above, the operation guide is sequentially displayed along with the performance data, and whether the operation is correct or not is determined, and the result is displayed.
