ンプ12およびスピーカ13の３回路で構成される。[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the music information processing apparatus for karaoke, in FIG. Transfer processing is performed by a host computer in an external database storing a large number of pieces of music information.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a telephone line as a public line, which connects the apparatus of the present embodiment to the database 1 via modems 3 and 4. When ISDN is used as a public line, digital communication can be performed directly. Therefore, a converter for digital communication is used instead of the modems 3 and 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a keyboard as selection means for selecting desired music information by numerical input or the like. Reference numeral 6 denotes a processing circuit which sends a signal to the database 1 to select music information and controls a subsequent circuit such as a storage means. is there. Reference numeral 7 denotes a memory unit for storing music information, which comprises two parts, a main memory 8 and a sub memory 9. Of the memory means, the main memory 8
Is a function of storing only the music information being reproduced, the sub-memory 9 is a function of designating a plurality of frequently reproduced music information and preloading and accumulating them from the database 1, or a music information requested from the database 1. Before transferring it to the main memory 8 and storing it.
It has the storage capacity for songs. Numeral 10 denotes a reproducing means for converting music information, which is a digital signal, into an analog signal and reproducing the analog signal as a music performance. The reproducing means 10 comprises a synthesizer 11, an amplifier 12, and a speaker 13.

ば、忠実に音楽演奏を再生することができる。The above-described apparatus operates based on the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, first, if a music piece is selected by inputting a numerical value on the keyboard 5, the processing circuit 6 searches for music information in the sub-memory 9. If the selected music information is stored in the sub-memory 9, the music information is stored in the main memory 8.
And music is played from the speaker 13 by the reproduction means 10. Since the music information stored in the database 1 is created in advance by a synthesizer, a music performance can be faithfully reproduced by using the synthesizer 11 which can perform the reverse process.

している。On the other hand, if the selected music information is not stored in the sub memory 9, the processing circuit 6 requests the database 1 to transfer the music information via the public line 2 according to the judgment. As a result, the music information transferred to the apparatus is first saved in the sub-memory 9 and stored, then loaded into the main memory 8 through the processing circuit 6 and reproduced. Here, in FIG. 2, the branch A indicates the operation when the storage capacity of the sub-memory is not enough, and as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Any music information having a low reproduction frequency is erased to make room in the capacity, and this portion is saved. Therefore, the reproduction frequency is stored in each music information in addition to the identification code.

ものにしておくことができる。Regarding the control of the sub-memory 9, in addition to the above-described operation, the reproduction frequency is searched for every predetermined period counted by the built-in timer, and the music information that does not reach the predetermined number of times of loading determined by the user is retrieved. By erasing, the music information stored in the sub-memory 9 can be constantly made appropriate.

If it is stored in the memory, it can be reproduced immediately, and the waiting time for using karaoke can be extremely reduced. Further, even when music information is called from the database, the music information is stored in the sub memory, which is extremely effective when repeatedly playing back karaoke.
