DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic musical instrument for recording music data separately into performance data and non-performance data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a musical piece is composed of performance data such as pitch, volume and timing and non-performance data (sequence data) such as tone number and style, performance data and non-performance data are used. An electronic musical instrument (automatic playing device) has been proposed in which a music piece is formed by recording separately and playing back the automatic performance data based on the non-performance data at the time of playback, thereby forming a music piece (Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 4). −69
396).

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional electronic musical instrument, performance data and non-performance data are recorded separately, but when music is reproduced, the performance data is reproduced based on the non-performance data. Therefore, non-performance data and performance data must always be recorded in combination.

Therefore, when the non-performance data is of little importance in the music, for example, when only the performance data is recorded and the non-performance data set by the panel operation can be used, Non-performance data had to be recorded along with performance data. In today's electronic musical instruments, the data capacity of the non-performance data is very large, so recording such non-performance data is a factor that puts pressure on the storage capacity of the storage medium, and is not preferable. Absent.

[0005] Further, depending on the music, it may be sufficient to share the non-performance data that has already been recorded. On the other hand, sometimes it is desired to freely combine the non-performance data to give a desired effect to the music. In the conventional electronic musical instrument, since the non-performance data must be recorded in combination with the performance data as described above, even when non-performance data that can be shared as in the former case is already recorded, the same non-performance data is recorded. Data must be recorded redundantly, which puts a strain on the storage capacity of the storage medium.On the other hand, when it is desired to give the music a desired effect, as in the latter case, the recorded non-performance data restricts the recording. , The free creativity of the performer will be impaired.

In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to configure an electronic musical instrument so that performance data and non-performance data are recorded separately, and performance data or non-performance data can be loaded as required. Good.

However, in an electronic musical instrument configured to simply record performance data and non-performance data separately, when performing music by combining performance data and non-performance data, which non-performance data The player must memorize which performance data to play in combination with (or vice versa), and must actually load and try non-performance data or performance data . The former player remembers himself,
It is inconvenient when another player plays the combination set by the player, and the latter method of loading and testing has a problem that the player has to search for a combination that he / she thinks is good.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and improves the operability of a player by a simple procedure, does not impair the player's free creativity, does not impose non-important non-performance data and redundant non-performance data. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic musical instrument capable of reducing the storage capacity of a recording medium by not recording performance data, thereby reducing costs.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a music composition comprising performance data for controlling the tone generation of musical tones and control data for controlling a tone generation mode of the performance data is reproduced. An electronic musical instrument that supplies at least one of the performance data and the control data; storage means for storing at least one of the supplied performance data and the control data; and Separation recording means for separating control data from the storage means and recording the information in the storage means, and instruction information indicating the other data related to the one data recorded by the separation recording means, together with the one data. Selecting means for selecting whether or not to perform, and when the selecting means selects to record the instruction information together with one of the data, Recording the indication information together with the one data in the storage means, and when the selecting means does not select to record the indication information together with the one data, the indication information is not recorded and the corresponding indication information is not recorded. Instruction information recording means for recording only one of the data in the storage means.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic musical instrument for reproducing music composed of performance data for controlling the generation of musical tones and control data for controlling the manner of generating the performance data. Storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of control data, and a plurality of pieces of instruction information for designating the other data related to one of the performance data and the control data; and performance data and control stored in the storage means. Selecting means for selecting a desired one from the data; searching means for searching the other data related to the selected data based on instruction information corresponding to the selected performance data or control data; and the storage means Reading means for reading the performance data, the control data, and the instruction information from the CPU; And when the control data is individually selected, the selected performance data and control data are read and set by the reading means, and when only one of the performance data and the control data is selected, Setting means for reading desired data from the other data searched by the search means by the reading means, and setting the read other data and the one data.

[0011]

According to the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, when recording of the instruction information together with one data is selected by the selection means, the instruction information is stored together with the one data. When the instruction information is recorded in the means and the recording of the instruction information together with the one data is not selected by the selecting means, only the one data is recorded in the storage means without recording the instruction information.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the performance data and the control data are individually selected by the selection means, the performance data and the control data are read from the storage means by the reading means. When either one of the performance data and the control data is selected by the selection means, the desired one of the other data searched by the search means is read out from the storage means by the reading means. The other data read and the one data are set.

[0013]

Parameters marked with "@" indicate that the player has selected to save. In order to release the selected storage, the data input cursor may be moved to the position of the parameter to be released and the data input key may be pressed again, or a release switch (not shown) may be provided separately. You may.

In the electronic musical instrument of this embodiment, parameters that can be selected by the player are setup data (SETUP DAT).
A), STYLE REVOICE data, pad data (PAD DATA), organ flute (ORGAN FLUT)
E) data, panel resist (PANEL REGIST) data,
There are seven types of parameters, custom style (CUSTOM STYLE) data and custom voice (CUSTOM VOICE) data. These parameters will be briefly described below.

The setup data is data for making general settings of an electronic musical instrument.

The electronic musical instrument of this embodiment has a multi-pad (Mu
lti PAD) (not shown)
A short melody is stored in each switch, and the melody is reproduced by operating each switch. The pad data refers to information of the melody and timbre information to be used.

The electronic musical instrument according to the present embodiment is provided with an automatic accompaniment device, and has accompaniment patterns and musical instrument information of each part for each style (STYLE). Can be changed (this function is called revoice). The style revoice data refers to information related to the change.

Further, the electronic musical instrument of this embodiment can synthesize a tone by synthesizing feet like a pipe organ. Organ flute data refers to parameters for the synthesis.

An electronic musical instrument generally has a function of storing (registering) a large number of panel setting states as a set and recalling the set at one time. Panel registration data is a set state of the set. Means In this embodiment,
Up to 16 sets of the settings can be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 4.

The automatic performance style originally provided by the attached automatic accompaniment function can be changed to a player's own (custom) style, and the changed state can be stored. The custom style data is the custom style data. Refers to the data shown.

Similarly, for the timbre, the envelope parameters, pitch, filter characteristics, reverberation characteristics and the like can be edited to create a performer's own timbre, and the custom voice data can be changed. Refers to data indicating the state.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a data storage format of a certain parameter file stored in the floppy disk and the hard disk. The figure shows the parameters of FIG. 3 selected by the player to be stored. An example of a parameter file is shown.

In FIG. 4, the parameter file includes a management data area, a related song name (RELATED SONG NAME) area, and an area in which parameters selected by the player to be stored among the various parameters are stored (hereinafter referred to as a “storage parameter area”). "). The management data area stores data such as the file name of the file and the capacity of the entire file. The related song name area stores the file name of the song associated with this file, that is, the song that uses the parameters of this file. In the storage parameter area, the parameters selected in FIG. 3, ie, setup data, pad data, panel registration data (panel registration data of numbers 1, 6, 9 and 14), custom style data (number 2,
5, 8, 16, 17, 22, 30, and 31) and custom voice data (custom voice data of numbers 1 to 4) are stored.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a storage image in the disk when a plurality of files are stored in the floppy disk or the hard disk.

As shown in the figure, the disk stores a plurality of files (for example, the parameter file and the song file shown in FIG. 4), the position of each file on the disk, and the free space of the disk. And a file management table for managing each file based on the information.

The CPU of the electronic musical instrument configured as described above
2 will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the main routine. First, various initialization processes such as clearing the RAM 4 and resetting various ports are performed (step S1).

Next, event data and the like are output to the tone synthesizing circuit 8 in accordance with the reproduction of the song or the input of the song, and a tone generation process for generating a tone is performed (step S2). Monitoring is performed to detect a switch whose operation state has changed, and panel processing such as parameter setting processing corresponding to the switch is performed (step S3).

Next, an automatic performance recording / reproducing process for recording and reproducing a song (automatic performance data) is performed (step S).
4) If the automatic accompaniment device is operated, an automatic accompaniment process is performed (step S5), and after performing other processes other than the above-described processes (step S6), the process returns to the step S2, and the above-described process is performed. repeat.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of a load process for loading the contents of the parameter file stored in the floppy disk or hard disk into a predetermined register (register for setting various parameters) of the RAM 4. This process is called when the player presses, for example, a load switch (not shown). That is, this is one process during the panel process of step S3 in FIG.

In FIG. 7, first, it is determined whether or not a file to be loaded is specified, and if not, a dialog is displayed (step S11).

Next, when the player selects a desired file from the displayed dialogue, the file is read from the floppy disk or the hard disk, and the parameter of the predetermined register is rewritten with the parameter stored in the file ( Step S12), it is determined whether or not reading of all data has been completed (step S13).

When it is determined in step S13 that the reading of all data has been completed, the loading process is terminated.
If the reading of all the data has not been completed yet, the player is requested to change the disc (step S1).
4) When the player changes the disk according to the request, the process proceeds to step S12, where the subsequent parameters are read from the disk and the parameters are rewritten.
Hereinafter, the same processing is repeated.

The reason why it is determined in step S13 whether or not reading of all data has been completed is because the free space of the disk is small and a file may be recorded over a plurality of disks. . In the present embodiment, the hard disk is assumed to be a non-replaceable recording medium. Therefore, when reading out a file stored in the hard disk in this load processing, the process proceeds to step S13.
, And immediately terminates the load processing.

In the present load process (not only the present process but also other processes described later), it is actually necessary to perform various error processes. However, for the sake of explanation, it is indispensable to explain the present invention. Everything except those that are not shown is omitted.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of a save process for saving the currently set parameters as a file on the floppy disk or hard disk. This process is also called by the player pressing a save switch (not shown), for example, as in the loading process of FIG.
Is one of the panel setting processes.

In FIG. 8, first, when the performer specifies a transfer destination file name, the file name is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 4 (step S21). The process such as step S21, that is, the preparation process for creating the parameter file in the data storage format described with reference to FIG.

Next, after executing a related song designation processing subroutine described later with reference to FIG. 10 (step S22), the storage parameter selection screen of FIG. 3 is displayed on the display 5 (step S23), and The data input cursor is moved according to the operation (step S2
4) The data at the cursor position is changed according to the operation of the data input key (step S25). That is, by the processing of steps S24 and S25, the above-described storage parameters are selected, and information indicating which parameter is selected is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 5.

In the following step S26, EX (not shown)
It is determined whether or not the ECUTE switch has been pressed, that is, whether or not to end the storage parameter selection processing.
When the ECUTE switch is not depressed, the process returns to step S23 to continue the selection process of the storage parameter,
On the other hand, when the EXECUTE switch is pressed, R
After calculating the capacity of all data to be saved based on the information of the storage parameters stored in the work area of AM4 (that is, the information stored in the work area in steps S21 to S25), the process proceeds to step S27.

In step S27, the calculated data capacity is compared with the free capacity of the disk. Here, the free space of the disk is obtained by reading the information stored in the file management table of FIG.

Next, it is determined whether or not the free space of the disk is insufficient based on the comparison result (step S2).
8) If there is enough free space on the disk, the save process is terminated after executing the data transfer process subroutine of FIG. 9 described later (step S29), and if the free space is insufficient. Determines whether the storage medium at the save destination is a hard disk (step S30).

If it is determined in step S30 that the storage medium of the save destination is a hard disk, the display screen described with reference to FIG. 2 is displayed on the display 5 so that only "reduce data" can be selected ( Step S3
1). At this time, for example, other [Replace Disc] or [Automatic Split] may not be displayed, or may be displayed with faint characters, so that other than [Reduce Data] may not be selected. .

When the player presses the switch corresponding to [decrease data], the process proceeds to step S32,
The display 5 shows an example of parameter reduction of which parameter should be reduced from the currently selected parameter to save within the free space according to the insufficient data capacity.
Is displayed, and this save processing subroutine is called again to perform the selection processing of the storage parameter again (step S
33) After that, this save processing ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S30 that the storage medium of the save destination is not a hard disk, that is, if it is a floppy disk, the display screen of FIG. 2, ie, [reduce data], [replace disk],
[Automatic division] is displayed on the display 5 and the player selects it. As described above, a switch is provided for each option so that the player can select one of the options of [reduce data], [swap disc], and [automatic division]. Are numbered "1", "2" and "3" from the top in FIG. When the player selects a desired option by pressing a switch, the number corresponding to the option is stored in the RAM.
4 is stored in the work area (step S34).

Next, the result selected by the player is stored in the RAM 4
Is determined by inspecting the number stored in the work area (step S35), and when the number is "1", that is, when the player selects "reduce data", the process proceeds to step S32, and the above-described step S32 is performed. The same processing as the processing in the hard disk is executed.

If it is determined in step S35 that the number stored in the work area of the RAM 4 is "2", that is, if the player selects "change disc",
"2" is stored in a predetermined area tmode for storing the transfer mode secured in the work area of the RAM 4 (hereinafter, this content is referred to as "transfer mode tmode") (step S3).
6) After confirming that the player has replaced the disc, save is started (step S37), and a data transfer process subroutine similar to step S29 is executed (step S38), and then the save process is terminated. .

Further, in the determination in step S35, the RAM
When the number stored in the work area No. 4 is "3", that is, when the player selects [automatic division], the transfer mode tmode is set to "3" (step S3).
9) After executing the same data transfer processing subroutine as in step S29 (step S40), the save processing ends.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the data transfer processing subroutine of steps S29, S38 and S40.

In the figure, first, based on the information on the storage parameters temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 4, the data (selected parameters, transfer destination file name, related song name, etc.) are stored in the RAM 4 as shown in FIG. The file is transferred to the file created on the transfer destination disk while keeping the data storage format described in (1) (step S51).

Next, it is determined whether or not there is an empty area on the disk (step S52). Specifically, this determination is made by always monitoring the free space information of the disk stored in the file management table of FIG.

As a result of the determination in step S52, if there is an empty area, it is determined whether or not the file transfer has been completed (step S53). If the file transfer has not been completed, the flow returns to step S51 to transfer the parameter file. On the other hand, when the transfer of the file is completed, the file management table is corrected, that is, the process of registering the file name and the position on the disk of the transferred file in the file management table is performed (step S54). The transfer process ends.

If it is determined in step S52 that there is no free space on the disk, it is determined whether or not the transfer mode tmode is "3", that is, whether or not the player has selected [automatic division]. When [Automatic division] is selected, the player is requested to replace the floppy disk (step S56), and then the process proceeds to step S53.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S55 that the transfer mode tmode is not "3", that is, if the player has not selected "automatic division", the display 5
To indicate that the save failed (step S57),
Proceed to step S54.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the related song designation processing subroutine of step S22 in FIG.

In the figure, first, a list of songs currently selectable by the player is displayed on the display 5 (step S61).

Next, it is determined whether or not the player has designated a song from the song list display (step S62). When the song has been designated, the song name is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 4 (step S63). On the other hand, if the song is not specified, the process for specifying the related song is terminated without any operation.

As described above, this processing is for storing the song name in the related song name area of the parameter file when it is necessary to associate the parameter file to be saved on the disk with the already input song. The pre-processing, that is, the processing of storing the song name in the work area of the RAM 4 is performed.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the procedure of song selection processing. This processing enables a player to select a parameter file related to the song when selecting and playing the song. Things. This processing is called, for example, when a song selection switch (not shown) of the operation panel switch 1 is pressed. That is, this is one process during the panel process of step S3 in FIG.

In FIG. 11, first, data of a song designated by a player is prepared (step S71). Here, the preparation means, for example, when a player designates a song by inputting a song name, the data corresponding to the song name is stored in a storage medium storing the data (in this embodiment, the floppy disk). (A disk or a hard disk) and store it in a predetermined area of the RAM 4.

Next, the parameter files stored in the floppy disk or the hard disk are searched one by one, and the contents of the related song area in each file are sequentially read out. A parameter file to be selected is selected, and a list of the selected parameter files is displayed on the display 5 (step S72).

Next, it is determined from the parameter file list display whether or not the player has designated a file (step S73).
The parameter file is read from the disk, and a load process for rewriting the currently set parameter with the read parameter is performed (step S7).
4) The reproduction of the song is started (step S75).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S73 that the player has not specified a parameter file, that is, if the currently set parameters can be left as they are,
The process skips step S74 and proceeds to step S75.

As described above, in the electronic musical instrument according to the present embodiment, the song and the parameters are separately recorded on the disc, and the parameters associated with the song (that is, the parameter file recorded on the disc) are present. In this case, the song name to be related is stored in the related song name area in the parameter file, and the parameter file related to the song can be searched and selected when the song is reproduced. The parameter file can be managed according to whether or not the song name is stored. For example, in the case of a song whose parameters are not important, if the song name is not stored in the related song name area and the parameter file is not recorded on the disc, the disc capacity can be reduced. When the same parameter file is used for a plurality of songs, the same song name is stored in the related song name area of the parameter file, so that only one parameter file needs to be stored on the disk. Disk capacity can be reduced.

Further, in this embodiment, when a song is reproduced, a list of parameter files associated with the song is displayed, so that the player can determine which song is associated with which parameter file by himself / herself. Need not be stored, and there is no need to actually load the parameter file into the RAM 4 and try it. Further, by performing such a list display, a player can use a parameter file created by another player and associated with a song without difficulty.

The player can also choose not to specify the parameter file to be loaded from the list display.
In this case, the transfer time can be shortened, and the player can operate the operation panel switch 1 in place of the associated parameter to freely test the parameters by freely combining the parameters. Free creativity can be enhanced. As described above, in the electronic musical instrument of the present embodiment, it is possible to further improve the operability of the player.

Although only one song can be associated with each parameter file in this embodiment, a plurality of songs may be associated. If you make it possible to associate multiple songs in this way,
A song already associated with a parameter file may not be selectable in another parameter file, or may be selectable. In order to be able to associate a plurality of songs, it is necessary to increase the number according to the number of songs that can associate the related song name area of the parameter file.

Further, in this embodiment, the configuration is such that the information of the song associated with the parameter file is stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the information of the parameter file associated with the song may be stored. In this embodiment, the song name is adopted as this information. However, the information is not limited to this, and any information may be used as long as each song can be identified.

[0073]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the instruction means selects the recording of the instruction information together with one of the data, the instruction information is transmitted to the one of the data. Recorded in the storage means together with the data of
If the selecting means does not select to record the instruction information together with the one data, only the one data is recorded in the storage means without recording the instruction information. There is no need to record
The storage area of the storage unit can be saved, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the storage capacity. Furthermore, when some of the data is unnecessary when reading the associated data, it is possible to select not to perform the reading, so that the time for reading the unnecessary data can be shortened, and the associated data can be read. Instead, the player can try various combinations of data that the player inputs at hand.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the performance data and the control data are individually selected by the selection means, the performance data and the control data are read from the storage means by the reading means. When either one of the performance data and the control data is selected by the selection means, the desired one of the other data searched by the search means is read out from the storage means by the reading means. Since the other data read and the one data are set, necessary data can be selected without the player himself storing the data relevance.
