TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a performance learning device, and more particularly, to a performance learning device that includes a mode in which a player can determine the progress of a practice and a mode in which the progress is automatically instructed, thereby preventing the practice from becoming monotonous. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art There is known an apparatus which reproduces performance data stored in a storage medium by a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a "personal computer"), sequentially displays music scores on a screen, and instructs performance. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-305171, a graphic of a keyboard is displayed on a screen, and a range from a key press to a key release is displayed by a scroll bar corresponding to each key of the displayed keyboard. A performance instructing device for scrolling a bar so as to approach a keyboard figure in accordance with the reproduction of automatic performance data is disclosed.
[0003]
According to this performance instructing device, the key press time can be intuitively recognized by the scroll bar display, and the performance data following the performance data currently being pressed can be predicted, so that a smooth performance can be expected. .
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional performance instructing device, since the performance data is monotonous only to be reproduced in order from the beginning, the performer may be bored. In addition, even if there is a part that the player wants to practice intensively, a device that progresses the practice so that the entire song can be acquired with a certain level of proficiency will force the progression not to follow the player's intention .
[0005]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, there is a mode where you can play in free mode.However, since you are free to play completely apart from the auto mode in which the progress is automatically instructed, the relevance of each other is weak and consistent practice do not become. Therefore, there is a demand for a performance learning device in which a player can freely select progress while maintaining a practice function in the auto mode.
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a performance self-learning apparatus that allows a player himself to change the progress of a practice while maintaining a function of automatically instructing the progress in response to the above demand.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems and achieving the object is a performance self-learning apparatus for displaying musical score information and instructing a player to play a musical instrument. Performance instructing means, which can selectively operate in an automatic mode for automatically designating a unit for performance instruction according to a scheduled progress and a manual mode for designating an arbitrary unit. The first feature lies in the configuration described above.
[0008]
According to the first feature, in addition to the automatic mode in which the performance instruction is automatically performed for each unit, the player can instruct the unit in accordance with the progress of the practice, etc., so that the progress of the practice can be arbitrarily made. Can be delayed or delayed.
[0009]
Further, the present invention includes a display unit for displaying a lesson menu for specifying a unit for performing a performance instruction, and the display unit displays a mode selection switch for selecting the automatic mode and the manual mode on the lesson menu. The second feature lies in the point configured as described above.
[0010]
According to the second feature, the unit to be practiced can be designated from the lesson menu, and when the lesson menu is displayed, the mode can be arbitrarily switched from the manual mode to the automatic mode or from the automatic mode to the manual mode.
[0011]
A third feature of the present invention resides in that a lesson suspending means for displaying a lesson menu when a performance instruction is given in the automatic mode is provided. According to the third feature, even during the performance instruction in the automatic mode, it is possible to shift to an arbitrary unit as in the manual mode.
[0012]
Further, according to the present invention, the lesson menu displays units set so as to include a wider range of musical sound information as the proficiency is higher, in accordance with the performance data, according to the proficiency, and in the automatic mode, The performance instructing means is a unit on the lesson menu in which the performance does not meet a predetermined passing criterion, and a unit to be performed at the earliest time is displayed next as the musical score information. When all the performances of the units having the same proficiency level have reached the passing criterion, the unit for displaying the next score information is selected and specified from the higher proficiency level. Has a fourth feature.
[0013]
According to the fourth feature, unless all units having the same proficiency level meet the acceptance criteria, the practice does not proceed to a higher level, so that the music can be surely acquired.
[0014]
Further, in the present invention, the lesson menu displays a unit set to include a wider range of musical sound information as the proficiency is higher, in accordance with the performance data, according to the proficiency level, and in the automatic mode, The performance instructing means designates, from among the units on the lesson menu, the unit whose performance does not meet the expected passing criteria and which should be performed at the earliest time, as the unit for displaying the score information next. When all the performances of the lower units included in the unit having the higher proficiency level have reached the passing criterion, the higher unit is designated as the unit for displaying the next score information. There is a fifth feature in the configuration.
[0015]
According to the fifth feature, if a certain number of units can be played together, it is possible to proceed to a unit of higher proficiency including those units.
[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the performance self-learning device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a personal computer 1 includes a personal computer main body 11, a keyboard 12 and a mouse 13 as input devices, and a display 14 as an output device. The personal computer main body 11 may have a well-known configuration having a hard disk, ROM / RAM, and the like. It is preferable to provide an interface that can input and output MIDI signals.
[0017]
The keyboard instrument 2 includes a keyboard 21 and a sound system 22. The keyboard 21 includes a detection circuit 23 for detecting key depression and key release, and a sound source device 24 for generating a musical tone in accordance with key depression and key release detection information. A tone is generated by the sound source device 24 based on the key press / key release information detected by the detection circuit 23, and output (sounds) through the sound system 22. The keyboard instrument 2 may also be provided with a MIDI interface. The overall operation of the keyboard instrument 2 is controlled by a microcomputer (not shown).
[0018]
The personal computer body 11 and the keyboard instrument 2 are connected via an interface (not shown) (for example, a MIDI interface) so that signals can be transmitted and received between each other.
[0019]
In the performance self-learning apparatus, the practice music can be supplied from the outside, or can be stored in a hard disk or the like in advance. The practice music is prepared as performance data such as pitch data (note number), key press information (note on time / note off time), velocity, tempo data, and the like. Although the performance data may include data other than the above data, it is not a main part of the present invention, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0020]
The selected practice song is not limited to being played from the beginning of the song, but may be played from the middle of the song. The part to be practiced can be specified automatically or manually by the player himself. The practice location can be designated for the entire song or for each portion of the song divided into the number of measures (number of measures). The whole or part of a song is called a unit. The unit becomes larger in size as the degree of mastery, that is, as the grade becomes higher, and the number of measures constituting one unit increases. At the highest grade, the entire song can be considered a single unit.
[0021]
Here, the unit will be described as being composed of a plurality of measures, but the unit is not limited to a measure, and may be composed of musical sound information in an arbitrary range. For example, by using one or a plurality of motifs or phrases as one unit, musically natural practice can be performed. In short, the unit may be configured to include a wide range of musical sound information so that the higher the grade, the longer the performance can be practiced at once.
[0022]
In the case of the automatic designation (automatic mode), the unit to be practiced is automatically designated according to the scheduled progress. For example, the proficiency level is automatically determined by the personal computer 1 based on the performance result, and the unit is designated in consideration of the practice of the unit whose proficiency level has reached the passing criterion so as not to overlap.
[0023]
On the other hand, in the case of manual designation (manual mode), the player himself / herself can arbitrarily designate a unit to be practiced. In addition, the manual mode can be canceled to switch to the automatic mode, and the unit can be arbitrarily designated by interrupting the lesson even in the automatic mode. The information for the mode selection screen can be included in the performance data, and the mode selection screen is displayed on the display 14 at a predetermined time.
[0024]
FIG. 3 is an example of a lesson menu, showing units for each grade corresponding to a musical score. In the figure, the unit is set for each grade with respect to the score of 12 measures displayed on the display 14. If the song is long, this screen can be scrolled and displayed to the end of the song. In addition, instead of scrolling the screen, the screen can be enlarged or reduced to selectively display a part or the whole of the music. The enlargement or reduction of the screen can be performed, for example, by operating the "+" and "-" switches displayed at the lower left of the screen.
[0025]
Grades (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) are set in order from the one with the highest performance proficiency, and units of different sizes are set according to each grade. That is, in the lowest grade (5), two units constitute one unit, and in the next highest grade (4), four measures constitute one unit. Thus, as the grade increases, the number of measures constituting one unit increases.
[0026]
The lesson menu is not only a grade table that allows you to see at a glance the results based on the performance results, but also a display of units to be practiced next. That is, when the performance of the designated unit ends, the performance result is compared with the performance data to determine the score. Then, the grade is displayed on the lesson menu in a character representing the rank, and the unit which does not meet the pass criteria is instructed again.
[0027]
In the example of FIG. 3, the practice of the unit U1 composed of the first measure and the second measure of the grade (5) is completed, and the unit U2 composed of the third measure and the fourth measure is displayed as the unit to be practiced next. . The units whose performance has been completed are displayed as grades. The results are displayed in the order of rank in the letters S, A, B, C, D. For the units U1 and U3 that have passed the pass criteria, a rank “S” and a band indicating pass are displayed. However, this ranking is an example, and the classification of the rank can be set arbitrarily. If the pass criteria is not reached, the unit designation is not updated and the same unit is designated again.
[0028]
In the mode in which the units are automatically specified, the units that have not reached the passing score and that are to be played early in the same grade are specified. Since units having the same musical tone information are collectively managed, for example, when the unit U1 reaches a passing score in the figure, from the ninth and tenth measures having the same musical tone information as the unit U1. The unit U3 is also practiced, that is, the result is changed to the display of the grade. Therefore, repeated practice of a trained unit is avoided.
[0029]
The performance data of the designated unit is reproduced, and a key pressing instruction as described later is displayed on the display 14 based on the performance data. According to the display of the key pressing instruction, the player can repeatedly practice until the proficiency of the performance is increased for each unit, that is, until a predetermined pass judgment is made.
[0030]
If all units are judged to be acceptable for the currently practiced grade, a larger unit is designated for the higher grade, and the performance data is reproduced. For example, if the grade (5) passes, the program proceeds to the grade (4) and the unit U4 is designated to reproduce the performance data. In Grade (4), you will practice twice as many measures as Grade (5). The higher the grade, the higher the difficulty level, ie, the tempo, and the pass criteria, so that more advanced practice can be performed according to the proficiency level.
[0031]
On the other hand, when practicing in the manual mode, the performance data can be reproduced by specifying an arbitrary unit, so that the user can repeatedly practice until the user is satisfied. However, even in the manual mode, if it is possible to specify a unit arbitrarily arbitrarily, the result of the practice is unlikely to be improved. Therefore, for example, it is preferable that the grade cannot be increased until the grade reaches the passing score. That is, until all the units in the grade reach the passing score, only the unit in the current grade can be designated, and the unit of the higher grade cannot be designated.
[0032]
Each unit can have the following data structure. As the data of each unit, unit performance information, link information, and performance information can be included.
[0033]
The unit performance information is practice performance for each unit, and can include a high score, an average score, a registration date and time of the performance, and the like. Units of the same musical sound information are managed by common unit performance information. It has a unique ID and enables unit identification.
[0034]
The link information is link information for each unit, and includes a head position and an end position of the unit from the head of the music (both are time information), and a link ID for linking a plurality of units having the same musical tone information. The performance information has array information of link information for each grade and for each unit of the entire music.
[0035]
Next, the processing of the performance self-learning apparatus will be described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 4 is a main flowchart. In step S1, the personal computer 1 is initialized, including clearing a VRAM and a timer for displaying an image on the display 14. In step S2, a practice song is selected. For example, a list of practice songs is displayed on the display 14, and the player selects a song using the keyboard 12 or the mouse 13. If a song has been selected, the process proceeds to step S3 to determine whether the practice mode is the automatic mode or the manual mode. It is preferable that instruction information indicating whether the mode is the automatic mode or the manual mode is included in the performance data in advance. This is because the operation of instructing the automatic mode or the manual mode is omitted. In step S3, it is possible to determine whether the mode is the automatic mode or the manual mode based on the instruction information. A screen for prompting a mode instruction may be displayed on the display 14 so that the player can select the mode. In this case, the player can select a mode from the displayed selection screen using the keyboard 12, the mouse 13, or the like.
[0036]
If the automatic mode has been instructed, the process proceeds to step S4 to automatically set the content of the lesson. That is, the unit for reproducing the performance data is automatically designated according to the scheduled procedure. The automatic designation of units will be further described later.
[0037]
If it is manual, the process proceeds to step S5, and the lesson menu of FIG. 3 is displayed. In the display of the lesson menu, a message urging the designation of the unit, such as "Please specify the unit", may be displayed at the bottom of the screen. In the initial menu, the first unit of the lowest grade is specified. If it is acceptable, the player inputs a start instruction using the keyboard 12 or the like. If you want to change the unit to be practiced from the default value, specify the desired unit by pointing to the frame where the unit is described on the lesson menu.
[0038]
In step S6, it is determined whether a start instruction has been input. If a start instruction has been given, the process proceeds to step S7. The start instruction screen can be included in the lesson menu. In step S7, it is determined whether the mode is the automatic mode or the manual mode. If the process proceeds to step S5 after the lesson to be described later is interrupted and the lesson menu is displayed, the mode setting is confirmed again here. If the mode is the automatic mode, the process proceeds to step S4. If the mode is the manual mode, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the unit to be subjected to the lesson is displayed on the lesson menu, and the lesson is started.
[0039]
In step S9, a key press instruction is displayed on the display 14 according to the performance data. An example of the key press instruction will be described later with reference to FIG. In step S10, the musical sounds included in the performance data, that is, the accompaniment sounds and the metronome sounds are reproduced. The reproduced sound can be generated using the sound source device 24 or the sound system 22 of the keyboard instrument 2. In step S11, the performance result of the trainee is read into the personal computer 1. This is for grade determination. Steps S9 to S11 are performed by timer interrupt processing. If the pitch indicated by the reproduced performance information does not match the pitch of the performance result, the display of the key pressing instruction information is stopped. When the player presses the key again and the pitch matches the performance data, the display of the key pressing instruction information is advanced.
[0040]
In step S12, it is determined whether or not the lesson is interrupted to display the lesson menu. That is, by receiving an instruction as to whether or not to display the lesson menu, the lesson menu is displayed during the practice even in the automatic mode so that the unit can be designated. If there is an instruction to display the lesson menu, the process of interrupting the lesson is performed in step S13, the display of the key pressing instruction information and the like are stopped, and the process proceeds to step S4.
[0041]
If the instruction to display the lesson menu has not been input for the predetermined standby time, the process proceeds to step S14, and it is determined whether the lesson has been completed. This step S14 is affirmative when all the performance data of the designated unit has been played. In step S15, a result process is performed. In the performance process, the performance result read in step S11, that is, the actual key press result by the player is compared with the performance data, and the performance is determined based on the degree of coincidence. The content of comparison is the length of sound, velocity, tempo, and the like, and the number of times of mistouch, that is, the number of times of pressing a key different from the instruction, can be compared with the pass reference number of times. In the performance processing, the rank is determined based on these comparison results.
[0042]
As a result of the above-mentioned performance processing, it is determined whether or not the unit has passed the acceptance criteria. In step S16, it is determined whether to continue the lesson. This determination can be made based on the presence or absence of the player's instruction input using the keyboard 12 or the like. If the lesson is to be continued, the process proceeds to step S3. If there is no instruction to continue, this process ends. In the designation of the unit after returning to step 3 upon receiving a continuation instruction, the unit to be played next is set if the unit has passed, and if not, the same unit is designated again.
[0043]
When the lesson menu is displayed, it is possible to instruct the automatic mode or the manual mode on the lesson menu. For example, when the lesson menu is displayed in the automatic mode, the unit can be specified and the mode can be selected in step S5. When the manual mode is instructed, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S8. When the unit is selected and the mode is maintained in the automatic mode, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S4. When the unit is designated and the process proceeds to step S4, the lesson in the automatic mode is started from the designated unit. When the mode is switched from the manual mode to the automatic mode, a lesson in the automatic mode is started from the current unit.
[0044]
When the key press instruction is given in the automatic mode, when the lesson menu is displayed and the unit is specified, not only jump to the previous unit, but also specify the unit that has already practiced and passed the pass criteria. It is also possible to improve the proficiency of the performance until the performer is satisfied. In this case, when the performance of the designated unit is completed, the unit proceeds to the unit which should be performed earlier, among the units which have not completed the performance. The grade is updated to the latest one.
[0045]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a process of automatically specifying a unit. In step S41, it is determined whether all units of the highest grade have passed. If the highest grade has not passed, the process proceeds to step S42, and it is determined whether or not all units of the currently practiced grade have passed based on the unit performance information. If this determination is negative, the process proceeds to step S44, where the next unit to be practiced is specified. For example, the display is changed to, for example, enclosing the unit U2 with a frame as shown in FIG. 3, and then the process proceeds to step S7 (FIG. 4). When step S42 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S43, where the grade is increased by one level, and then the process proceeds to step S44. For example, when a grade is upgraded from grade (5) to grade (4), a unit consisting of the first four bars of the grade (4) is specified in step S44 immediately after that. In this way, if the highest grade (1) has passed, step S41 is affirmative and the process ends.
[0046]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the key pressing instruction displayed on the display 14 in step S5 of FIG. In the figure, keyboard figures are displayed at the top and bottom of the screen. Although the keyboard graphic K is displayed at the top and bottom of the screen to make it easy to see which key on the keyboard corresponds to the key press instruction, this may be displayed only at the bottom of the screen. A plurality of substantially rectangular marks, which are shown between the keyboard figures K and K and have a length corresponding to the length of the musical tone and the width of the white key of the keyboard figure K, are key-pressing instructions. One mark corresponds to one tone. The upper and lower screens are time axes, and the key press instruction closer to the lower keyboard figure K indicates a musical tone to be played earlier. The key pressing instruction mark moves downward at a predetermined tempo, and when the lower end of the key pressing instruction mark reaches the lower keyboard figure K is the key pressing timing, the key pressing instruction mark corresponding to the key being pressed is displayed. The time when the key disappears from the screen is the key release timing. The movement or scrolling of the key press instruction is performed when the player presses or releases the key.
[0047]
As a method of displaying a key press instruction, the method described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-352206 filed by the present applicant can be applied. Note that the key pressing instruction is not limited to scrolling, but may be a method of collectively displaying key pressing instructions of the entire song or a method of switching screens.
[0048]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the main functions of the performance learning device according to the present embodiment. In the figure, a lesson menu creation unit 3 creates a lesson menu as shown in FIG. The performance data storage unit 4 stores performance data of practice songs. The lesson menu creation section 3 creates a lesson menu using the performance data and the key press information detected by the detection circuit 23, and the created lesson menu is displayed on the display 14. The lesson menu includes the results (rank and pass judgment) of the unit to be played next and the unit that has already been played, and other various indication switches are displayed. These are a unit designation button L1, a mode switch L2, a start switch L3, and the like. For example, when the mode switch L2 is designated by the keyboard 12 or the mouse 13, the current unit designation mode is inverted. In the automatic mode, the mode is switched to the manual mode, and in the manual mode, the mode is switched to the automatic mode. The unit designation button L1 is displayed in the manual mode, and when the button L1 is designated by the keyboard 12 or the mouse 13 to further designate display of a desired unit, a unit to be played next is designated. The start switch L3 is provided to instruct the start of the lesson after the unit is designated.
[0049]
When the start switch L3 is pressed, the progress control unit 5 reads the performance data of the specified unit from the performance data in the performance data storage unit 4 in accordance with the unit designation button L1 and the instruction to display the unit. input. The key pressing instruction section 6 displays a key pressing instruction on the display 14 based on the input performance data.
[0050]
When the key press instruction is displayed, the lesson menu is deleted from the display 14, and when the lesson menu is displayed, the key press instruction is deleted from the display 14. The lesson menu is displayed every time the performance of the designated unit is completed and evaluated, but a lesson interruption switch L4 is provided to cope with a case where the lesson menu is to be displayed halfway. This lesson interruption switch L4 can be provided on the key press instruction display screen. When the lesson interruption switch L4 is pressed, the display on the display 14 changes to a lesson menu.
[0051]
The display of the lesson menu is not limited to the one corresponding to the actual score as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of unit display in which a musical score is represented by a keyboard graphic and a rectangular graphic corresponding to the keyboard graphic. A keyboard figure was placed at the bottom of the screen, and a rectangular figure of a length corresponding to the musical tone was displayed on the keyboard by taking the time axis up and down. The unit for each grade is displayed on the right side of the rectangular figure.
[0052]
In FIG. 7, the unit including the first to fourth measures of grade (5) passes, and the unit including the fifth to eighth measures is rejected (rank D), and is composed of the fifth and sixth measures again. Here is an example where a unit is specified.
[0053]
In the above-described embodiment, if one unit passes, the unit is set to play the next bar in the same grade. However, the present invention is not limited to this setting method, and it can be set so that many consecutive bars can be practiced as early as possible.
[0054]
For example, in FIG. 3, if the unit U1 and the next adjacent unit pass, then the next unit in the same grade is not designated but the grade is increased by one grade and You can also proceed to the first unit. The first unit of Grade 4 is a combination of the first two units of Grade 5 and you will experience a relatively long performance in Grade 4 that you will practice through these two units. it can.
[0055]
Then, if the first unit of the grade (4) passes, the process returns to the grade (5) again and selects the third unit. If it passes, select the 4th unit of the next grade (5). If the unit of the fourth valve of grade (5) passes, the grade is increased to (4) and the second unit is selected. If the second unit passes, the first unit of grade (3) is selected. In this way, when a lower grade unit included in one unit of the upper grade passes, the user can proceed to the upper grade to practice.
[0056]
It should be noted that the key pressing instruction information is designed to increase the proficiency by preventing the next scrolling unless the specified key is pressed. However, in the highest grade I, the proficiency of the trainee should be increased, so that even if the key is not pressed as instructed, the key pressing instruction information is displayed continuously. Good. This is in order to be able to practice the performance throughout the song as much as possible.
[0057]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, the performance instruction is issued for each unit that defines the range of the musical sound information. Then, the unit can be specified by selecting a mode in which the unit is automatically specified in accordance with the schedule and a mode in which the unit can be manually specified. Therefore, the progress can be advanced or returned according to the preference of the player as well as the uniform performance instruction whose progress is automatically determined.
[0058]
In particular, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the automatic mode and the manual mode can be selected on the lesson menu. According to the invention of claim 3, when the lesson is interrupted in the automatic mode, the lesson menu is displayed, and the unit can be manually designated. Therefore, even if you are running in automatic mode and your current unit has not completed the number of units, you should respond if the performer wants to move on or go back and want to practice further Can be.
[0059]
According to the fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention, when the predetermined unit of each proficiency level reaches the passing criterion, the process proceeds to the practice of the higher proficiency level. Therefore, it is possible to gradually increase the proficiency while gradually expanding the practice range.
