When a plurality of drum timbres are mixed, the notes of a plurality of note numbers may be mixed.
[0023]
[Song data playback processing]
4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the music data reproduction process according to one embodiment of the present invention. When this processing flow starts, in the first step S1, initial settings such as setting the performance tempo, setting the tone color of each track, and setting the pointer for the illumination pattern data are performed. Next, in step S2, it is determined whether a predetermined unit time has elapsed. This unit time is the minimum resolution of a note in the music data to be reproduced, and is, for example, 1/480 of a quarter note. Here, if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the time determination operation in step S2 is continued. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S3 to set the value of the track number TR to “1”, and further to step S4. Proceed to
[0024]
In step S4, it is determined whether or not it is the sounding timing of the musical notes of the performance data in the track that is currently set as the track number TR. If it is the sounding timing, the process proceeds to step S5 to perform sounding processing for the note at the sounding timing, and further proceeds to step S6 (FIG. 5), where the value of the track number TR set in the track is “ Whether it is “1” or “2” is determined, and if the track number TR is “1” or “2”, the process proceeds to step S7.
[0025]
In step S7, an illumination pattern corresponding to the note of the performance data (track 1 or track 2) at the sounding timing is read out, and lighting control of the LED light emitting elements (L1 to L4) is performed based on the read out illumination pattern. In the lighting control in step S7, the lighting time of each light emitting element L1 to L4 is set to a certain length according to the length of the corresponding note, but when the next note appears, Switching to lighting based on the illumination pattern at the next time point. Further, when there are a plurality of notes corresponding to the illumination pattern at a certain time, the lighting time of each light emitting element L1 to L4 is made to correspond to the shortest note length or the longest note length among these notes.
[0026]
Following the lighting control in step S7, the illumination pattern read pointer is advanced by one in step S8, and then the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S4 (FIG. 4) that it is not the sounding timing (NO), or when it is determined in step S6 that the track number TR is neither “1” nor “2” (NO). The process proceeds directly from steps S4 and S6 to step S9.
[0027]
In step S9, it is determined whether or not the track currently being processed is the last track (maximum track number). If it is not the last track, the track number TR is incremented in step S10 (TR value is changed). After “+1”), the process returns to step S4 (FIG. 4), and unless it becomes the last track, the processes of steps S4 to S10 are repeated, and if it becomes the last track, the process proceeds to step S11.
[0028]
In step S11, it is determined whether or not reading of the currently reproduced music data has been completed. If the music data has not been completed, the process returns to step S4 (FIG. 2). If the process of steps S2 to S11 is repeated and the song data is finished, the song data reproduction process is finished.
