An electronic drum will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. In FIG. 1, a drum pad unit 1 includes a plurality of drum pads 1 a to 1 e.
. If a shot is taken at the center of each drum pad of the drum pad section 1, for example, 1a
Is a snare drum sound, 1b is a cymbal sound, 1e is a bass drum sound, etc.
You can make a sound and play it. Each of the drum pads 1 a to 1 e emits in response to a shot of each sound played by a player.
Outputs trigger information for sound.
Information such as the velocity at the time and the type of the drum pad shot is also included. Further, among the drum pads 1a to 1e, for example, the first drum pad 1a is shown.
In addition to the central part A, the peripheral parts of the drum pads B, C, D, E, F, G
Hold the pad and shot them once only, so that professional drummers
Playback of the programmed fill-in pattern for a few seconds, for example (
(Automatic play) is possible, and the trigger information for starting the playback
Output from the RAM pad. The above-described trigger information is input to the trigger input unit 2 and converted into a trigger signal.
It is. Each of the above-mentioned drum pads is shot, for example, at the central portion A to provide a main performance.
While playing, shot B or C to hear the fill-in pattern sound.
It can be superimposed on the performance of Inn. Thereafter, the central trigger signal is sent to the MIDI information converter 8. Next, the CPU 4 executes a command programmed in the ROM 3. RAM5
As shown in Fig. 4, data such as various flags, timers, and drum patterns
Is stored. Timer section 6 measures the time between shots of each drum pad
Used for The switch unit 7 has various switches.
Recording switch (hereinafter, drum pattern Rec switch, or simply pattern Rec SW
Press this switch to record the drum pattern.
When entering the mode, the “Pattern Rec flag” to be described later turns ON.
While it is ON, the recording mode indicator lamp 7a using an LED or the like is turned on. Next, the MIDI information converter 8 outputs the trigger output from the trigger input unit 2 described above.
In the gar signal, when the central part of the drum pad (for example, A of 1a) is shot
Trigger signal is converted into a MIDI signal for one sound, and the next MIDI sound source 9
Send to any of Also, while shooting the center of the pad,
For example, if you shot any of BG from 1a, every time you shot,
For example, like the fill-in pattern described above, the M
An IDI signal is output. The MIDI sound source 9 receives each of the drum signals and outputs each of the drums stored in advance.
A tone signal of a drum sound corresponding to the head is generated. After that, the signal is D / A converted
The signal is converted to an analog signal in the amplifier 10, and is output from the speaker 12 through the amplifier 11.
Drum sounds are emitted. Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail. The operation of the present embodiment is, for example, a drum pattern such as fill-in as described above.
And the like, and a recording mode and a mode other than recording. After that,
The turn uses a fill-in pattern as an example. Here, in a mode other than recording, for example, the above-described recorded drum pattern is reproduced.
Playback mode, and the normal performance in which the player shots and plays the center of each pad.
Play mode. The above-described recording mode and modes other than the recording mode are the modes provided in the switch unit 7 of FIG.
Either one can be selected according to the ram pattern Rec SW7a. sand
That is, the drum pattern Rec SW 7a switches between these two states as shown in FIG.
A trigger pulse generating circuit 21 for generating a trigger pulse for switching
This switch is used to perform N. Pressing this switch once will generate one trigger pulse.
Then, the recording mode is set, and when the recording mode is pressed again, the recording mode is turned off and the mode is switched to a mode other than recording. Whether the mode is the recording mode is shown in the configuration diagram of the RAM 5 (FIG. 1) in FIG.
As described above, the flag indicating that the drum pattern is being recorded is the “pattern Rec flag”.
Is ON or OFF. Hereinafter, the operation in each mode will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
This flow is performed as a part of a main flowchart (not shown).
It is repeatedly executed at a speed sufficiently faster than the playing operation. First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the drum pattern Rec SW has been pressed.
If YES, the process proceeds to step S31. Note that this determination is based on the trigger described above.
This is performed by determining the presence or absence of a pulse (FIG. 2). In this case, the fact that the pattern Rec SW is pressed means that the fill-in pattern
To either start or end the recording of the
In order to judge, the ON / OFF of the “flag during pattern Rec” is checked. In step S 31, the “pattern Rec flag” in the RAM 5 (FIG. 1) (FIG. 4)
) Is ON or not, and if YES, the current fill-in pattern
Indicates that the switch is being recorded.
Does it mean to switch to a state other than recording (end recording)
Then, the process proceeds to step S34 to turn off the "pattern Rec flag". If the determination in step S 31 is NO, recording of a fill-in pattern is to be performed.
Therefore, in the next step S 32, “Flag during pattern Rec
Is turned on, and in the next step S33, the "timer measuring flag" is turned off.
Change to F. This flag will be described later. As described above, when the pattern Rec SW is pressed, the “pattern Rec flag” is set to O.
When N is set, the recording mode is set. The recording mode is the same as when the player shot the center of the drum pad.
The case where the sub pad is shot will be described sequentially. First, the case where the center of the drum pad is shot will be described. In step S1, the pattern Rec SW has already been pressed, and
Since the trigger pulse (FIG. 2) has not been generated yet, the determination is NO.
is there. Further, the determinations in steps S2 and S3 are both YES, and the process proceeds to step S21.
move on. In step S 21, the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S 22, where
It is determined whether the “timer measuring flag” (FIG. 4) in the RAM 5 is ON. this
The flag is a flag for determining whether the value of the “current timer value” in the RAM 5 is valid.
When the recording of the fill-in pattern is started, it is turned off in the above-described step S33.
Therefore, the determination in step S22 is NO, and the process proceeds to step S24. The function of the “current timer value” will be described later. In step S24, the drum sound assigned to the shot pad is reproduced.
MIDI data (for example, note-on data and
Loss data, etc.) is stored in the work address of the RAM 5. The work address is a work area of the RAM 5 shown in FIG.
An address that stores data for one note to be processed.
It is assumed that the address has been reset to the head address. Next, proceeding to step S 25, the “timer measuring flag” (FIG. 4) in the RAM 5 is reset.
ON, and in step S26, clear the "current timer value" (FIG. 4).
You. Then, in step S 27, the work address is advanced by one. Thereafter, in step S5, the above-mentioned MID corresponding to the shot pad
An I signal is output to the MIDI sound source 9 to generate a drum sound for one shot. That
Thereafter, the process proceeds from step S6 to S7, and in step S7, the determination becomes YES.
Then, the process returns to the main flow. By the way, the timing at which the player shots the drum pad (shot and shot)
Is usually 1/20 second at the earliest, but output from the pad
The trigger pulse is two or more digits shorter, and
Much longer than the time it takes to execute the process and go through the main flow loop.
Is set to short. Therefore, after the above-described processing in step S 7, the process returns to the main flow to return to the main flow.
Rounds the flow and repeats Step S1 → Step S2
In step S2, a trigger from the pad section is input.
Since the process has been completed, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S6. Thereafter, the process proceeds from step S6 to S7, and the determination in step S7 becomes YES, so that
Returning again, the above processing is performed by the player hitting the pad, and the process proceeds to step S2.
Repeat until the determination becomes YES. After that, when the player shots the center of the pad as the next shot, S
The determination at 2 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S22 in the same manner as the previous time. Here, the “timer measuring flag” (FIG. 4) in the RAM 5 corresponds to the previous step S
In step 25, since it has been turned on, the determination in step S22 is YES, and
Proceed to step S23. In step S23, the “current timer value” of the RAM 5 (FIG. 4) is stored in the work address. Here, the timer and the “current timer value” will be described. In the recording mode, the timer sets the next shot after the drum pad is shot.
Measure the time to come and in playback mode, from one event to the next
Time. In this embodiment, the timer unit 6 (FIG. 1) sends the flow of FIG. 5 every 1/100 second, for example.
Timer interrupt to interrupt the chart or main flowchart
(Interrupt) causes the timer interrupt routine of FIG.
It is executed every 0 seconds, so that it counts up every 1/100 seconds.
The timer that uses the “current timer value” (FIG. 4) as the timer value is configured. Then, the “current timer value” is set in step S 26 by the previous shot of the central portion.
Since it has been cleared, at the time of this shot, the “current timer value”
It shows the time from the previous shot to the current shot. In step S23
, This value is stored in the work address. After the above operation, the process proceeds to step S 24, and a new shot is performed as in the previous case.
MIDI data relating to the work address is stored in the work address. Further, in step S5
Then, the MIDI data is output to the MIDI sound source 9 and a sound generation operation is performed.
Thereafter, the process proceeds from step S6 to S7 (Yes), and returns to the main flow. As described above, every time the central portion of the pad is shot, S 1 → S 2 → S 3 →
The processing of S21 → S22 (→ S23) → S24 to S27 → S5 → S6 → S7 is repeated. If the shot has not been taken, S1 → S2 → S6 → S7 → Retard as described above
→ S1 → S2 are repeated, and it is in the waiting state. As described above, the performer shots the center portion of the drum pad while listening to the drum sound emitted from the speaker 12 (FIG. 1), thereby obtaining the performance data (
Time data and MIDI data) are sequentially stored in the work address,
Turns can be created. Next, as described above, when the central part of the pad is shot,
For example, when a shot is taken on B of the drum pad 1a (see FIG. 1), R is obtained as follows.
The fill-in pattern data stored in the work memory of AM5 is registered. First, the main flow goes through steps S 1, S 2, S 3 and then to step S 21.
Is NO, and the process proceeds to the next step S28. In step S28, when the sub pad is shot on the work address
Then, the Rec End data is stored. This Rec End data is
Data representing the end of the performance data of the current performance. Next, in step S 29, up to the shot immediately before the sub pad B is shot
All performances recorded on the above work address for the fill-in pattern
The data is stored in the “pad B part drum pattern data” area of the RAM 5 shown in FIG.
Is transferred in blocks. As a result, the fill-in pattern to the sub pad B portion
Is registered. Next, in step S30, a work address is set at the head of the work memory.
You. As a result, a new fill-in pattern is created from the beginning of the work memory of the RAM 5.
Ready to record important performance data. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S33, and the “timer measuring flag” (FIG. 4) is turned off.
I do. Then, the flow returns to the main flow, and again the same fill impatter as described above.
Is ready for recording. Here, until the trigger from the drum pad is applied, S2 → S6 in the same manner as described above.
→ Repeat S7 → Return → S1 → S2.
Every time the trigger is activated, S22 (→ S23) → S24 ~ S27 → S5 → S as before
6 → S7 is repeated, and MIDI performance data and shot
The time data between the data is overwritten from the first address of the work area in RAM5.
And it continues to be memorized as before. In this way, the performance for recording the second fill-in pattern ends, and
For example, when the C of the subpad 1a is shot, the B of the above subpad is shot.
All performances from immediately after B shot to just before C shot
The data is transferred to the drum pattern data area of the pad C portion of the RAM 5 by block transfer.
It is. As described above, the center portion of the drum pad is shot to perform the fill-in pattern.
And the performance data is sequentially stored in a memory area of the RAM 5 corresponding to the pad.
Record. Next, to end the recording, the drum pattern Rec SW 7 a is turned on. As a result, the determination in step S1 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S31.
Is "YES" in the step S31 because the "Pattern Rec flag" is ON.
Becomes Next, in step S 34, the “pattern Rec flag” is turned off, and the
The recording mode of the fly-in pattern is ended. The above is a description of the recording mode.
Mode and fill-in
A reproduction mode for reproducing (automatically playing) a record such as a turn will be described. In this case, the process proceeds from step S 1 to step S 2, and since no trigger is input from the pad until the drum pad is shot, the process proceeds to step S 6 and the RAM
5, the "timer measuring flag" (FIG. 4) remains OFF at step S34.
Since it has not been turned on yet, the determination in step S6 is NO, and
Is not performed. Thereafter, until there is a trigger input, S1 → S2 → S6 → return
→ The process of S1 is repeated, and it is in the state of waiting for a trigger. When the pad is shot and a trigger is entered, the process proceeds to steps S 1 → S 2 → S 3,
In step S3, recording is not being performed, and the "pattern Rec flag" is OFF.
Therefore, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S4. In step S 4, it is determined whether or not the central portion of the pad has been shot. Here, the case where the center of the pad is shot first will be described.
Is YES, and the process proceeds to step S5. In step S 5, the MIDI signal corresponding to the shot pad is set to M
By outputting to the IDI sound source 9, the drum sound corresponding to that pad is
The sound is emitted from the speaker 12. Next, the process proceeds to step S 6, but the “timer measuring flag” is still ON and
Since there is no such information, the determination is NO, and the process returns to the first step S1. The above operation is repeated while the central portion of the pad is shot. In the above, the player shots the center of the drum pad while listening to the performance sound.
This is the case of the normal performance mode. Next, while playing while shooting the center of the above pad,
Shot once on the subpad, for example, B of subpad 1a
The playback mode for automatically playing the corresponding fill-in pattern will be described.
. In this case, steps S 1 to S 3 are the same as those in the normal performance mode described above. Next, in step S4, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S15. In step S 15, the No. of the subpad shot is shown in FIG.
To the "Pattern during playback of pattern No. memory" area of the RAM 5. Next, in step S16, the sub pad on the RAM 5 shown in FIG.
From the drum pattern data area (for example, the area of pad B) corresponding to
Read the MIDI data at the beginning of the system pattern and output it to the MIDI sound source 9
You. As a result, several to ten or more dozen tones of the fill-in pattern are formed.
A drum sound corresponding to the first shot sound of the sound G is emitted from the speaker 12.
. In the next step S 17, the time data is read from the drum pattern data area.
Is read out, and this is used as a timer value until the next shot sound,
It is set in the "next timer value" area (see FIG. 4). In the following step S 18, the “timer measuring flag” (FIG. 4) in the RAM 5 is set.
Turn ON. Further, in step S19, the "current timer value" (FIG. 4) of the RAM 5 is cleared.
I do. This will be described later. Then, in step S20, the read address of the drum pattern / data area is
Increment. After that, it returns to the main flow and proceeds from S1 to S2 again.
Since there is no trigger from, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S6. In step S 6, first, in step S 18, the “timer during timer measurement”
Is turned ON, the determination is YES, and the process proceeds to the next step S7. In step S7, since the "pattern Rec flag is not ON",
Proceed to step S8. Next, in step S 8, the “current timer value” of the RAM 5 and the “next timer value”
Timer value (both in FIG. 4), and “current timer value” is smaller than “next timer value”.
In the meantime, the judgment is NO, and it corresponds to the next shot in the fill-in pattern
The toned musical tone is not yet pronounced and returns. Then, from the main flow again, step S 1 → S 2 → S 6 → S 7 → S 8 and step S
8, the above operation is repeated as long as the determination in step S8 is NO. By the way, the “current timer value” is the first MIDI of the aforementioned fill-in pattern.
Cleared at the sounding timing according to the data (step S19), as described above.
, The value in the RAM 5 is increased with the passage of time.
In 8, the “current timer value” gradually increases, and becomes equal to the “next timer value”.
If it is higher or higher, the determination in step S8 is YES and the next step
Proceed to step S9. Here, in step S 17, the “next timer value” is set to the fill-in pattern
After the sound of the first shot sound is heard, the time data until the next shot sound is
Read from the data area. Therefore, the above operation
The timing until the next shot sound of the fill-in pattern is measured. In step S 9, MIDI data corresponding to the drum sound to be reproduced this time is
, Read from the drum pattern data area of the RAM 5, and
And the drum sound is emitted from the speaker 12. Next, proceeding to step S 10, when counting up to the next drum sound to be reproduced
Data is read out from the drum pattern data area of the RAM 5, and the "next timer
Value ”. Then, in step S 11, the “current timer value” is cleared, and in step S 12, the read address of the drum pattern / data area is incremented.
You. In the following step S 13, the “next timer value” set in step S 10
Is the Rec End data, and if NO, the process returns. In addition, this
The Rec End data of the recorded performance
This is data indicating the end of data. Thereafter, the above operation is repeated again from the main flow, and the operation proceeds to step S 8.
Thus, every time the determination is YES, in step S9, as described above,
Produces a ram sound. Finally, in step S 13, the next timer value is not time data,
If it is d data, the determination becomes YES, the reproduction ends, and the next step S14
, The "timer measuring flag" is turned off. As is clear from the above description, only one shot of the subpad is performed, for example,
A fill-in pattern for a few seconds can be played automatically. In the above description, the normal performance mode and the playback mode are described separately.
For phononic instruments, normal performance is performed while the fill-in pattern is being played.
It is also possible. Next, the outline will be described. First, when you shot the sub pad once,
As described above, steps S1 (No) → S2 (Yes) → S3 (No) → S4 (No) → S15 → ...
→ Return → S1 (No) → S2 (No) → S6 (No) ... → Return → S2 (No) → S6 ~ 13
・ ・ ・ → Repeats the same process as return and records in advance, for example,
Play the turn. During the above-described repetitive processing, when the central portion of the pad is shot, the sequence proceeds from S1 (No) → S2 (Yes) → S3 (No) → S4 (Yes) → S5, and at step S5,
Produces drum sounds according to the performer's performance. Next, the process proceeds to step S 6. The determination in step S 6 is “timer measurement
Since the "middle flag" is ON, when the sub pad is shot in step S7 and subsequent steps
And the sounding of the above-described fill-in pattern is continued. As described above, for example, the sub pad is shot to reproduce the fill-in pattern.
The player can play freely using the center of the pad.
Wear. In the above description of the flowchart, the polyphonic (multiple sound)
If the electronic percussion instrument is composed of polyphonics,
For example, in FIG. 1, when recording a fill-in pattern, the drum pad 1a
In addition, various other drum sounds such as 1b, 1c or 1e can be used simultaneously.
To play, record the performance data as described above, and have it played automatically.
Wear. Also, in the above-described embodiment, for automatic performance, a player
The performance data obtained at that time is stored in the drum pattern data area.
The performance data was recorded, but the performance data was stored (recorded) in real time as in the above example.
It is not limited to what was done. That is, it is created in advance from an external storage means, for example, a performance of a professional drummer or the like.
Write the performance data to a ROM pack (card), etc.
The read performance data may be loaded into the data area. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the shape of the drum pad is hexagonal,
Although the vicinity of the apex is used as the sub pad, various other types can be considered. FIG. 6 shows an example. In FIGS. 9A and 9B, A is at the center of the drum pad of FIG.
Similarly, they correspond to the subpads B, C, D, E, F, G, etc. in FIG. With such a shape, in the case of FIG.
Shots are reduced. In the same figure (b), the subpads are gathered in one place.
Therefore, it is suitable for playing in a narrow place and setting is easy. According to the present invention, the second player is shot only once, and the
As you can play complex performance patterns (automatic performance), you can be a good drummer in advance
, Record the difficult fill-in patterns, etc.
In parallel with the sounding operation of the musical tone by the hitting operation on the first player, the second player
Read it out with a hitting operation (one shot) and match it, or
Again, the performer can freely perform a normal performance. In the case of early stick handling, record it in advance in the same way, and
If you use it, you can play rhythm percussion that is impossible by yourself. Also, if a plurality of second performers are prepared, different drum sounds of various musical instruments and various drums can be provided.
You can use different patterns, and other performance patterns that appear in one song
If all of the notes are recorded separately for each second performer, for example, in units of one bar,
