Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a singing location designating method for making it easy to sing lyrics along with accompaniment. 2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a so-called karaoke apparatus for playing back an accompaniment recorded on a magnetic tape and singing the lyrics in accordance with the accompaniment has become widespread. Such a conventional karaoke apparatus prepares a lyrics collection on which lyrics are printed, searches for the corresponding lyrics from the lyrics collection, and sings along with the accompaniment while watching the lyrics collection. In some cases, the lyric collection may be lost, and in the case of a song that has been memorized, the timing of the beginning of singing may be shifted, making it impossible to sing well. [0003] On the other hand, karaoke videotapes have been marketed due to the spread of videotape recorders.
This records audio information to be the accompaniment of the song to be sung, character information to be the lyrics of the song, and video information to be the background of the song. And the background that matches the song is projected on the CRT. [0004] Therefore, it is possible to sing without a lyrics card, it is not necessary to store the lyrics card, it is easy to handle, and there is an advantage that the song has a feeling from the background. However, since the lyrics are displayed in several measures, the lyrics are displayed. In some cases, it was not clear which lyrics the current accompaniment was. Especially in the case of a song that was memorized, the location of the lyrics for the accompaniment was not known and it was not suitable for practicing alone. [0005] In order to solve such a situation, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to sing along with an accompaniment without looking at a lyrics collection. Means for Solving the Problems The lyrics of the lyrics are displayed on the display screen, and the color of the characters to be sung of the displayed lyrics is changed with the progress of the accompaniment. did. FIG. 1 shows a singing position designating method according to the present invention .
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a display in which lyrics A are displayed on a display D, and the color of the characters to be sung of the lyrics displayed on the display D as the accompaniment of the lyrics progresses. Is changed from white to red, for example. [0010] The song "Jogashima Rain" shown in FIG. 1 will be specifically described. As an example, the accompaniment corresponding to the lyrics "On the shore of Jogashima where the rain falls" is immediately before (or immediately after) the accompaniment. ), The lyrics A of "rain falls" are displayed on the display D in white letters, for example, and in accordance with the progress of the accompaniment, first the letters "rain", then the letters "ga", and then the letters "ga" As in the case of the character "descent", the characters "ni" at the end of the lyrics A are sequentially displayed in red. Therefore, the singer can easily match the timing of the singing and the accompaniment by sequentially singing the characters in which the color of the lyrics A has changed while watching the display D on which the lyrics are displayed. it can. With reference to FIG. 2, an example of means for realizing the singing position indicating method according to the present invention will be described. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a video information supply device for supplying background video information suitable for accompaniment music to the mixer 2, and 3 a character for supplying the lyrics of the music to the mixer 2 as character information. It is an information supply device. Reference numeral 4 denotes a color tone changer for coloring character information to assist musically when the user sings a song. As the color tone changer, for example, a color tone adjuster usually used for video editing or the like can be used. The video information, the character information, and the character information colored by the color tone changer into the character to be sung along with the progress of the audio information among the character information are mixed by the mixer 2.
After that, the audio information is supplied to the audio information supply device 5, mixed with the audio information as the accompaniment generated by the mixed music 6, and recorded by the recording / reproducing device 7 such as a video tape recorder. At this time, the character information is recorded in synchronization with the audio information. For example, in the case of recording the above-mentioned song "Jogashima Rain", the phrase "rain falls" from just before the accompaniment corresponding to the lyrics "on the shore of Jogashima where the rain falls" to just before (or immediately after) the end of the accompaniment. The lyrics are mixed so as to be projected, and are recorded so that the color of the lyrics to be sung changes as the accompaniment progresses. That is, a character indicating the lyrics of “On the shore of Jogashima where the rain falls” is projected, for example, in white, and as the accompaniment progresses, the character of “rain” is first displayed, and then the character of “ga” is displayed. Further, the character "down" is recorded so as to become red in order to the character "ni". The signal reproduced by the recording / reproducing device 7 is separated by a separator 8, and mixed information of video information and character information is displayed on a display 9 such as a cathode ray tube.
The audio information is transmitted through a mixer 10 to a sound generator 11 such as a speaker.
To be played. Also, audio information supplied from an external audio information supply device 12 such as a microphone is reproduced from the sound generator 11 through the mixer 10. Therefore, when the recording / reproducing apparatus 7 is set to the reproducing state, the picture of the video information A and the character information B are displayed on the screen of the display D, for example, as described above with reference to FIG. , And an accompaniment is reproduced from the sound generator 11. As the accompaniment progresses, the character information B sequentially changes from white to red as described in the section of the operation, so that the user sings the characters in red sequentially while watching the display 9. If you go, you can match the timing of the accompaniment and the singing. As described above, according to the method of designating a singing location according to the present invention, the characters indicating the lyrics are displayed from immediately before the beginning of the accompaniment corresponding to the lyrics to immediately before or after the accompaniment, and the progress of the accompaniment With this, the color of the character to be sung among the characters indicating the lyrics can be sequentially changed according to the timing of the accompaniment, so that the singer searches for the corresponding lyrics from the lyrics collection, etc. Not only does it eliminate the need to sing while watching the lyrics, but also has a special effect that it is easy to eliminate the timing difference between the accompaniment and the singing.
