In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, the function (2) is provided, and when the registration sequence playback function is assigned to the foot pedal 3, the foot pedal 3 has other functions. Can not be assigned. As a result, the registration sequence can be reproduced as intended by the user.

Next, this control processing will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a main routine executed by the electronic keyboard instrument of the present embodiment, in particular, the CPU 7.

In the figure, first, initialization such as clearing of the work area of the RAM 9 and reading of default parameters is performed (step S1).

Next, a panel processing subroutine, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, is executed (step S2), and by detecting the operating state of the performance operators, ie, the keyboard 1 and the foot pedal 3, a performance instruction is issued. It is detected whether or not the operation has been performed (step S3).

Then, a tone signal generation processing subroutine (described later with reference to FIG. 5) for generating a tone signal in accordance with the performance instruction detected in step S3 is executed (step S3).
4) The tone signal is amplified by giving various effects to the tone signal and transmitted to the sound system 19 to generate a tone (step S5). After that, the process returns to the step S2 and returns to the above-described process. repeat.

In the present embodiment, the tone signal generation processing in step S4 and the tone generation processing in step S5 are performed by the tone generator circuit 17 and the effect circuit 18, respectively. Not the processing in the main routine, but the sound source circuit 17
And the processing in the effect circuit 18, since sound source software in which processing from generation of a tone signal to generation of sound is performed by software has also been generally used, steps S4 and S5 are also performed in the main routine. Some have.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the panel processing subroutine of step S2.
This panel processing subroutine is mainly for setting the functions (1) and (2), and the processing of steps S12 to S24 corresponds to the function (2).
The processing of steps S25 to S32 corresponds to function (1). Hereinafter, the description will be made in the order of the functions described above, not in the order of the step numbers.

As described above, the function (1) stores only the parameter values currently set and the functions assigned according to the user's instruction among the assigned functions. In the embodiment, the user selects a group and saves only those corresponding to parameters and functions belonging to this group.

In FIG. 3, when there is a panel input and the input is made by the MEMORY switch 2a, the mode shifts to the memory mode and the LCD 11 of the display device 11
The group selection screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on a (step S11 → step S25 → S26 in FIG. 4).

Then, the group designation by the user is received (step S27). In the present embodiment, there are ten types of groups that can be selected by the user, and the user selects a group to be stored from the groups. In particular,
By operating the switches 2d2u to 2d3d,
Move the cursor (shown in reverse video) to one of the four groups “ACCMP” to “SCALE”
By operating the switches 2d4u to 2d5d,
Move the cursor to any of the four types of groups from “HARMONY” to “MULTIPAD” and press switch 2d.
By operating 6u to 2d7d, the cursor is moved to one of two types of groups, "SONG" or "MIC", and by operating the switch 2d7u,
By turning on the mark of the check box of the group at the cursor position or operating the switch 2d7d, the mark of the check box of the group at the cursor position is turned off, and the groups to be stored are selected one by one while being designated. To go.

After the group is selected in this way,
The user selects eight registration selection switches 2b
When any one of 1 to 2b8 is operated, among the current setting states, those belonging to the selected group are stored in the area corresponding to the switch in the currently selected registration bank (step S28). → S2
9). The registration selection switches 2b1 to 2b1
Each switch of 2b8 has two LEDs 11b
1, 11b2 are provided, and the LED 11b2 lights up in green when the registration data is stored in association with the corresponding registration selection switch, and the LED 11b2 is turned on in green when the LED 11b2 is lit in green. When selected by the user, the LED 11b2 corresponding to the registration selection switch is turned off and the corresponding LED 11b2 is turned off.
11b1 lights up in red.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the types of parameters that can be selected and set by the user, their value ranges, and the groups to which the parameters belong. As shown in the figure, since each of the parameters is associated with one of the above ten groups, parameters belonging to the group selected by the user are extracted from the parameters selected and set by the user. , Can be stored in a target registration memory area. Some parameters do not correspond to groups (indicated by “-” in the group column in FIG. 7), but this type of parameter is
It is not saved depending on the registration function. Conversely, a parameter that is always stored by the registration function may be provided regardless of whether a group is selected.

Referring back to FIG. 4, if the user gives an instruction to register the current setting state belonging to the selected group to another registration bank, the registration location, that is, The page of the registration bank and the area in the page are accepted (steps S25 → S30 → S31), and the registered settings are registered with the current setting state belonging to the selected group (step S32). ).

The function (2) is to prevent other functions from being assigned to the foot pedal 3 when the registration sequence reproducing function is assigned to the foot pedal 3 as described above. (2) is performed when (a) the registration data is read out from the registration memory and set, and (b) when the registration sequence is reproduced. The processing in the case (a) is included in the panel processing, and the processing in the case (b) is included in the tone signal generation processing in FIG. 5 described later. Hereinafter, the processing in the case of (a) will be described, and the processing in the case of (b) will be described in the tone signal generation processing of FIG.

If the contents of the currently selected registration bank have been rewritten when the registration bank selection switch (not shown) of the panel switch 2 is operated, the message "Store the rewritten contents?"
Is displayed on the LCD 11a (steps S11 → S12 → S13 → S14 in FIG. 3), and the processing of the user corresponding thereto is accepted (step S15).
When the user selects "store", the process proceeds to step S31, and the current setting state is registered in the registration location selected by the user, while when "store" is not selected, the process proceeds to step S17.

On the other hand, if the contents of the currently selected registration bank have not been rewritten, the flow advances to step S17.

In step S17, the registration bank selection screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the LCD 11a. In step S18, one of the banks designated by the user is received from a plurality of registration banks. The registration data (contents) stored in the bank as shown in
List of names.

In step S18, specifically, among the switches 2cA to 2cJ, the switch operated by the user is detected. When the switch operated by the user is detected, the name of the bank corresponding to the switch is inverted. Is displayed (in the illustrated example, “001 Preset Ban”
k ″), the name of the registration content stored in the bank is extracted.

In the following step S20, a registration content selection instruction from the user is received.
In the present embodiment, the registration content is
The configuration is such that eight types can be stored for each bank.
FIG. 9 shows a state in which six types are stored. Here, eight types of registration contents can be stored for each bank because the selection instruction of each registration content is performed by operating eight registration selection switches 2b1-2b8. is there. In the present embodiment, in addition to this, of the switches 2cA to 2cJ, the switch 2
The user can select and instruct each registration content even if he operates anything other than cE and 2cJ.

When the user selects a registration content, it is determined whether or not a registration sequence playback function is currently assigned to the foot pedal 3 (step S21). On the other hand, when all the data included in the registration content is read out (step S22), if the registration sequence playback function is assigned, the data for the foot pedal 3 is read from the data included in the registration content. Data other than the setting is read (step S23).

Then, the read registration data is set in the device (step S24).

In this panel processing, the above function (1)
Processes other than (2) and (3) are also described. That is, when the setting made by the user is for the foot pedal 3, the setting is accepted (Step S
33 → S34 → S35), the function according to the setting is assigned to the foot pedal 3 (step S36). On the other hand, if the setting made by the user is something other than the foot pedal 3, the processing according to other instructions is performed. Execute (Step S
37). If the instruction given by the user using the panel switch is not for the setting of the device, processing according to the other instruction is executed (step S38).

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the detailed procedure of the musical tone signal generation subroutine of step S4 in FIG.

In the figure, first, when an operation input of the foot pedal 3 is made, it is determined whether or not a registration sequence reproducing function is assigned to the foot pedal 3 (step S41 → S42). When the registration sequence reproduction function is assigned, the target of the registration sequence reproduction is changed (step S43), and then the step S43 of FIG.
On the other hand, if the registration sequence playback function is not assigned, the process corresponding to the function assigned to the foot pedal 3 is executed (step S44). This step S41 → S42 → S
The processing from 43 to S23 corresponds to the processing in the case of the function (2) (b).

The method of changing the registration sequence reproduction target in step S43 is, for example, as follows.
A method of sequentially switching from the switch 2b1 to the switch 2b8 in the order of the registration contents stored in association with the registration selection switches 2b1 to 2b8, and sequentially switching the contents and the order of the registration contents preset by the user. There are various methods.

Next, when there is an operation input of the keyboard 1, if the input is a key-on input, a tone signal of a pitch corresponding to the key is generated (steps S45 → S46).
(→ S47) On the other hand, if the input is a key-off input, the tone signal being generated at the pitch corresponding to the key is muted (steps S45 → S46 → S48 → S49). If the input is other than key-on / off, processing corresponding to the input is executed (steps S45 → S46 → S48 → S5).
0).

In this embodiment, the registration function is performed by the registration selection switches 2b1 to 2b1.
It was made to operate by operating 2b8,
Not limited to this, OTS (one touch style)
e) It may be operated by operating a switch (not shown). The OTS switch selects and stores a voice function (tone color) among the above-described registration functions. In FIG. 7, an OTS column is provided.
This indicates whether the parameter is to be saved when the switch is operated. For example, the “Song Volume” parameter belonging to “Balance” is not saved even if the OTS button is operated when any value of 0 to 127 is selected and set by the user (“OTS” field indicates “Song Volume”). “×” is described), and “Main Volume” belonging to “Balance”
The “me” parameter is saved when the OTS button is operated when any one of the values 0 to 127 is selected and set by the user (because “O” is described in the OTS column). By configuring the OTS column so that the user can select only those that the user wants to save from those described with “O”, the function performed by the registration selection switches 2b1-2b8 is changed to the function performed by the OTS switch. Can be changed.

In the present embodiment, the foot pedal 3
When the registration sequence playback function is assigned to the foot pedal 3, another function is not assigned to the foot pedal 3. However, this is merely an example, and the operation element is not limited to the foot pedal 3. The function to be assigned is not limited to the registration sequence playback function.
