Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a performance information display device that displays various performance information files, a performance information display method, and a storage medium.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a display device that displays a plurality of data files stored in an internal storage device or an external storage device as a tree for each storage device is known.
[0003]
In general, each data file is managed by a file name, and since an extension is usually given to the file name, the display device selects the file name and an icon selected according to the extension. Are displayed in association with each other.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above conventional display device, since all data files stored in each storage device are displayed in a tree form, the user wants to find a target file from data files used for a specific function. Even in such a case, the target file must be found out of all the files including data files used for other than the specific function, and it is difficult to quickly find the target file. Of course, when an extension is added to the file name, there is also one that associates this extension with the function and sorts and displays the stored data file based on the extension. When there are multiple types of data file extensions used in one function, data files used in the same function are not always displayed together even if they are sorted and displayed based on the extensions. Therefore, at this time, it is still difficult to quickly find the target file.
[0005]
The extension usually indicates the function of the data file (that is, text data or data created by a specific application software), and the same extension is applied to files having the same function. Since a child is given, the same icon is selected and displayed on the conventional display device as long as the functions are the same even if the files have different file contents. Therefore, when searching for a target file from files having the same function, the user has to search based on only the file name.
[0006]
However, depending on the file type, it may be difficult to search for a file based only on the file name. For example, it is difficult for the user to determine what kind of content the file consists of various performance information simply by looking at the file name.
[0007]
The present invention has been made paying attention to this point, and is a performance information display device, a performance information display method, and a performance information display device capable of quickly finding out a target file from performance information files used for specific functions. An object is to provide a storage medium.

Conversely, the performance information files may be stored as they are on the root without providing folders in the preset memory and user memory.
[0028]
In this embodiment, there are five types of performance information files: song files, voice files, style files, registration files, and system files.
[0029]
A song file is a file composed of song data (performance data that composes a melody or accompaniment song by storing various event data and data indicating the playback timing in the order of processing). Used in song mode (song playback / editing function).
[0030]
A voice file is a file composed of voice data (various parameters for determining a timbre), and is used in a voice mode (voice creation / selection function).
[0031]
A style file is a file composed of style data (data for setting tempo and rhythm according to the song genre, performance data for accompaniment, etc.), and is used in the style mode (style selection / editing function) Is done.
[0032]
A registration file is a set of registration data (song data, voice data, style data, other panel switch settings, etc., set by the user). Data used for registration) and used in the registration mode (registration creation / selection function).
[0033]
The system file is a file composed of system data (data related to the system of the performance information display apparatus not related to the musical sound), and is used in the system mode (system change function).
[0034]
In this embodiment, each file has a file name xxx. yyy. It is configured in a format including three or more character strings delimited by “.”. However, “xxx” indicates a file ID, that is, a file name having a normal meaning, “yyy” indicates an icon ID, that is, an ID for selecting an icon, and “zzz” indicates a function ID, that is, a normal ID. Indicates the semantic extension. “Xxx”, “yyy”, and “zzz” mean arbitrary character strings, respectively. Needless to say, the number of character strings is not limited to three. In this embodiment, as described above, there are five types of function IDs: song, voice, style, registration, and system, and icon IDs. 99 types for each function ID, specifically, so01 to so99 as song icon ID, vo01 to vo99 as voice icon ID, st01 to st99 as style icon ID, re01 to re99 as resist icon ID, system icon ID sy01-sy99. Each icon ID is associated with a unique icon, as will be described later.
[0035]
In this embodiment, there is only one function ID corresponding to one function. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of function IDs may be provided for one function. One function ID may correspond to a plurality of functions.
[0036]
The file name is not limited to the above format (xxx.yyy.zzz), and any format may be used as long as the file name is constituted by information representing a file name (character string), information representing an icon, and information representing a function. . For example, a combination of an icon ID and a function ID such as “AAAAA.song01” or “BBBB.song02” is conceivable.
[0037]
The control process executed by the performance information display apparatus configured as described above will be described first with reference to FIG. 3 and then in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0038]
The performance information display device of the present embodiment is configured so that, for each mode, only the performance information files respectively used in the respective modes can be displayed as a list on the display device 9 in a list format.
[0039]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a performance information file list screen displayed on the display device 9 when the song mode is selected.
[0040]
When the user is instructed to display the performance information file list screen when the song mode is selected, as shown in the figure, the file name of the performance information file used in the song mode, that is, the name of the song file is displayed. File names are read from the preset memory, user memory, and FD 20, and displayed in a list format for each memory.
[0041]
Here, the file name of the song file is read out from the preset memory and the user memory so that each memory has a song folder, so that what is stored in the song folder is read as it is, Since no folder is provided in the FD 20 from the FD 20, only those having the function ID “song” are selected and read. When no folder is provided in the preset memory and the user memory, the file name may be read based on the function ID as in the case of reading from the FD 20, or the folder is provided in the FD 20. In such a case, the contents in the folder may be read as they are as in reading from the preset memory and user memory.
[0042]
Of the file names read out in this way, the name indicated by the file ID and the icon indicated by the icon ID are paired and displayed in a list format for each memory. In the illustrated example, the names of the song files stored in the user memory and the icons specific to the files are displayed in a list format.
[0043]
In addition, since only eight performance information files can be displayed in one list, if more than eight performance information files are stored in the memory, a page switching tab Ta can be displayed, for example. A list of other pages can be displayed by clicking. When it is desired to display a list of song files stored in another memory, that is, the preset memory or the FD 20, the memory switching tab Tb is stored in the other memory by, for example, specifying the click. A list of song files can be displayed.
[0044]
In the song mode, the user selects one of the song files from the displayed song file list, and (1) automatic performance and (2) various edits are performed on the selected song file. It is configured to be able to do.
[0045]
First, the user uses a predetermined switch (not shown) in the panel switch 2 to place the cursor (in the illustrated example, the file name and icon are highlighted) into the target song file (name). Move. In this embodiment, when the cursor moves to a song file, the song file is read from the memory and stored in a selection buffer (not shown) secured at a predetermined position in the RAM 7. In other words, just by moving the cursor, the song file at which the cursor is positioned is opened (set as a target file for various processes) without performing other operations.
[0046]
When the song file is used to perform the automatic performance of (1) above, the “EXIT” button in the operation designation field 9a is pushed using a predetermined switch (not shown) in the panel switch 2. Thus, the display of the list screen is terminated, the mode is returned to the song mode, and the play music (not shown) in the panel switch 2 is operated to reproduce the automatically played music of the selected song file.
[0047]
In the above-described various editing operations (2), in this embodiment, five types of editing functions of “file deletion”, “file copy”, “file move”, “file save”, and “file name change” are provided. Is provided.
[0048]
In “delete file”, when the “Cut” button in the operation designation field 9a is operated, the song file where the cursor is located is deleted from the memory.
[0049]
In “file copy”, when the “Copy” button in the operation designation field 9a is operated, for example, a message “Please specify the copy destination list position” is displayed. When the user designates the position, “Copy” The song file on which the cursor was positioned before operating the button is read from the memory and copied to the memory corresponding to the designated list position.
[0050]
In “Move File”, after operating the “Cut” button, specifying the destination list position and operating the “Paste” button in the operation specification field 9a, the song file deleted from the memory is Move to specified memory.
[0051]
In “File Save”, after the list position where the song file is to be saved is designated, when the “Save” button in the operation designation field 9a is operated, the song file created before the transition to the song mode is designated. Saved in memory.
[0052]
In “change file name”, when the “Name” button in the operation designation field 9a is operated, an operation designation field 9a ′ shown in FIG. 7 to be described later is displayed instead of the operation designation field 9a. The file name can be changed by operating the buttons. The detailed operation process will be described later.
[0053]
Next, this control process will be described in detail.
[0054]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a main routine executed by the performance information display device of the present embodiment, particularly the CPU 5.
[0055]
In the figure, first, a predetermined switch (not shown) in the panel switch 2 is used to determine whether or not a function switching operation has been performed (step S1). In this embodiment, each function corresponds to each of the above modes, that is, the song mode, voice mode, style mode, registration mode, and system mode. Therefore, in step S1, whether the current mode has been switched. It is determined whether or not.
[0056]
If there is a function switching operation in step S1, the function corresponding to the operation is activated, that is, the mode is switched to the designated mode (step S2). On the other hand, if there is no function switching operation, step S2 is skipped. Then, the process proceeds to step S3.
[0057]
In step S3, it is determined whether or not an instruction to display a list screen has been made. When the instruction is given, the processes of steps S4 to S7 are performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S8.
[0058]
In step S4, the selected function is detected from the performance information files stored in the respective memories, that is, the preset memory, the user memory, and the FD 20, and the selected function corresponds to the selected function (selected function). (A file having a function ID corresponding to the detected function or a file stored in a folder corresponding to the detected function) is extracted. In step S5, the extracted file is extracted. Each time, an icon designated by the icon ID of the file name is read, and in step S6, a list screen as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed by the file ID of the extracted file and the read icon. In S7, control processing corresponding to the operation performed by the user from this list screen is performed. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the icon indicated by the icon ID is created in advance and stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 6.
[0059]
In step S8, other processing than the processing in steps S1 to S7, for example, in song mode, song data creation and playback, editing, in voice mode, in voice data editing, in style mode. For example, in the style data selection / reproduction / editing / registration mode, processing such as registration data editing is performed. In step S9, whether or not an end instruction for the main routine (application program routine) has been issued. Is determined.
[0060]
When an end instruction is given in step S9, the main routine is immediately ended. On the other hand, when no end instruction is given, the process returns to step S1 and the above-described processing is repeated.
[0061]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the control process according to the user operation on the list screen (FIG. 3) in step S7.
[0062]
In the figure, first, it is determined whether or not a cursor movement operation has been performed (step S11). When a cursor movement operation is performed, information on the file selected by the movement operation is written into the selection buffer (step S11). S12) On the other hand, when the cursor is not moved, step S12 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S13.
[0063]
In step S13, it is determined whether or not an instruction to change the file name (operation of the “Name” button in FIG. 3) is made. When an instruction to change the file name is given, a file to be described later with reference to FIG. The name change process subroutine is executed (step S14). On the other hand, if the file name change instruction is not given, step S14 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S15.
[0064]
In step S15, it is determined whether or not a memory selection operation (tab Tb switching operation in FIG. 3) has been performed. When a memory selection operation is performed, the current selection stored in the selected memory is determined. A list of files corresponding to the function being operated is displayed (step S16). On the other hand, if no memory selection operation is performed, step S16 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S17.
[0065]
In step S17, processes other than the above-described steps S11 to S16, for example, “file deletion”, “file copy”, “file move” or “file save” are performed. In step S18, this control process is terminated. It is determined whether or not an instruction has been issued.
[0066]
When an instruction to end the control process is given in step S18, the control process is immediately ended (return to the main routine from step S8 in FIG. 4), whereas when an instruction to end the control process is not given, Returning to step S11, the above-described processing is repeated.
[0067]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the detailed procedure of the file name change processing subroutine in step S14.
[0068]
In the figure, first, the operation designation field 9a on the list screen is changed to an operation designation field 9a 'for changing a file name as shown in FIG. 7 (step S21).
[0069]
Next, the character string of the file ID is input by operating the “kana” button displayed in the operation designation field 9a ′ (step S22). In this embodiment, every time the “Kana Han” button in the operation designation field 9a ′ is operated, the display of the button is “Kana Han” → “Kana” → “Kana (half-width)” → “ABC ( “Full-width)” → “ABC (half-width)” → “Kanahan”, and the display and number of other buttons change accordingly. Thereby, various characters (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, and Alphabet) can be input as a character string of the file ID.
[0070]
Then, it is determined whether or not the “ICON” button has been operated (step S23). When the “ICON” button is operated, an icon selection screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed (step S24). An icon ID corresponding to the icon is attached to the file name (step S25).
[0071]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an icon selection screen for selecting an icon stored in the ROM 6, and the icon selection screen in the illustrated example is when the voice mode is selected. In the present embodiment, the icon selection screen also changes depending on the mode, and only icons that can be selected in the selected mode are displayed on the icon selection screen.
[0072]
When the user operates the up / down / left / right arrow buttons on the icon selection screen to move the cursor (indicated by the reverse display) to the icon, the icon is enlarged and displayed on the lower left portion of the icon selection screen. By operating the button, an icon ID corresponding to the enlarged icon, that is, the icon at the cursor position is attached to the file name.
[0073]
In the present embodiment, both icons and icon IDs that are set in advance are used and cannot be created by the user, but may be created by the user as a matter of course.
[0074]
On the other hand, when the “ICON” button is not operated in step S23, steps S24 and S25 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S26.
[0075]
In step S26, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the file name changing process has been made. When an instruction to end the file name changing process is given, a new one based on the information input in step S22 or step S25 is given. After storing the correct file name as the file name of the currently selected file (the file stored in the selection buffer), this file name change process is immediately terminated, while no instruction is given to terminate this file name change process. Sometimes, the process returns to step S21 and the above-described processing is repeated.
[0076]
In the present embodiment, the performance information file is displayed as a list for each memory, that is, for each preset memory, user memory, and FD 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be displayed in one list (of course, the page is switched when there are many performance information files).
[0077]
As described above, in this embodiment, when a performance information file list screen instruction is given in a state where a specific function is selected, only the performance information file used for the specific function is stored in the storage source. Since it is extracted from various memories and displayed as a list, the user can find out a desired file easily and quickly.
[0078]
Each performance information file is configured to be associated with a specific icon corresponding to the contents of each file. In addition to the file name, the performance information file list screen is specific to the file. Since the icon is displayed, the user can intuitively identify the contents of each file among a plurality of files used in the same function.
