Assignable _{KN S = 1} ~ Assignable _{KN S = 8} and master knob KN _M functions as an operator for changing the mode of musical tones of each performance part PT _n in real time. That is, the user desires to define the musical tone mode of a desired performance part PT _n among the performance parts PT _n=1 to PT _{n=8 in} the assignable knob KNS ₌₁ to the assignable knob KNS _=8. Parameters can be assigned to each. That is, the Assignable KN _S, assigns a performance part PT _n arbitrarily selected, can assign one or more parameters arbitrarily selected among the parameters that define the manner of the musical tone of the performance part PT _n it can. When the user operates manually Assignable KN _S, in accordance with the indicated value of the Assignable KN _S, the value of the parameter assigned to the Assignable KN _S is changed.

The master knob KN _M, parameters that define the manner of the musical tone is not assigned. As described below, when the user operates manually master knob KN _M, based on the instruction value of the master knob KN _M, a plurality of corresponding to the instruction value of Assignable _{KN S = 1} ~ Assignable _{KN S = 8} The indicated value is calculated. Then, the values of the parameters respectively assigned to the assignable knobs KNS ₌₁ to assignable knob KNS ₌₈ are determined based on the calculated plurality of instruction values. In other words, the user is operated by hand master knob KN _M, the value of the parameter respectively assigned to the Assignable _{KN S = 1} ~ Assignable _{KN S = 8} is changed simultaneously.

Specifically, the user first sets the setting data set DS _n (see FIG. 4) regarding each performance part PT _n . The setting data set DS _n is stored in the RAM 12c. The user can arbitrarily edit the setting data set DS _n . The edited result may be stored in the ROM 13b, the storage device 15 or the like, and the stored setting data set DS _n may be read and used when the power is turned on.

As shown in FIG. 5, the setting data set DS _n is composed of a plurality (for example, 16) of setting data SD _{m=1, 2,...} The setting data SD _m includes allocation data AS _m and change curve data CD _m .

The allocation data AS _m is composed of source data SO _m and destination data DN _m . The source data SO _m is identification data (for example, the name of an operator) that identifies the operator associated with the parameter. The destination data DN _m is identification data (for example, a parameter name) that identifies a parameter assigned to the manipulator represented by the source data SO _m . The change curve data CD _m is identification data that identifies a change curve that represents the relationship between the operation position (instruction value) of the operator corresponding to the source data SO _m and the value of the parameter corresponding to the destination data DN _m (for example, The name of the change curve). In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the configuration data is SD _m is assumed to be composed of allocation data AS _m and variation curve data CD _m, from the setting data SD _m is more data It may be configured.

Here, a conceptual diagram of the allocation data AS _m of FIG. 5 is shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the assignable knob KN _S=1 is assigned to the cutoff frequency of the filter of the tone generator circuit 16, and the assignable knob KN _S=2 is assigned to the panning of the tone generator circuit 17. .. Further, the expression pedal EP is assigned to the distortion level of the tone generator circuit 17. As in this example, a plurality of operators can be assigned to one performance part PT _n . Also, a plurality of parameters may be assigned to one operator. In addition, in FIG. 5, “N/A” is described in the unset item.

Further, the CPU 13a functions as an operator setting unit CS, a musical tone signal generation instructing unit SG, and a parameter value calculating unit PS, as shown in FIG. 7, by executing various programs. The parameter value calculation unit PS corresponds to the signal control means of the present invention.

Operator setting unit CS receives an instruction from the user, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the instruction value vv _S corresponding to the instruction value _{v S} indicated value _{v M} and Assignable KN _S of master knob KN _M An operator setting table TB _KN representing the correspondence is created in advance. Specifically, the user first inputs operators 11 (e.g., a touch panel TP) by operating the instruction value _{v S1,} and master knob KN _M when indicated value of the master knob KN _M is "0" The instruction value v _S2 when the instruction value is “127” is input. The input operation information indicating the input operation by the user is supplied to the operator setting unit CS via the input operation detection circuit 12. The manipulator setting unit CS stores each of the inputted instruction values in the RAM 13c as a manipulator setting table TB _KN . The created operator setting table TB _KN is also stored in the ROM 13b, the storage device 15, etc., and the stored operator setting table TB _KN is read when the power is turned on, and the read operator setting table is read. The table TB _KN may be used.

When the instruction value v _S2 is larger than the instruction value v _S1, when the instruction value v _M of the master knob KN _M increases, the instruction value vv _S increases, and when the instruction value v _M of the master knob KN _M decreases, The indicated value vv _S decreases. On the other hand, in the case than the command value _{v S1} smaller indicated value _{v S2} is an instruction value _{v M} of the master knob KN _M increases, decreases instruction value vv _S is indicated value _{v M} of the master knob KN _M is reduced Then, the instruction value vv _S increases. When the instruction value v _S1 and the instruction value v _S2 are the same value, the instruction value vv _S does not change even if the instruction value v _M of the master knob KN _M increases or decreases.

Next, the tone signal generation instruction section SG will be described. In order to simplify the explanation, in the present embodiment, an operation in the case of playing using a layer function in which musical tone signals of eight performance parts are simultaneously generated when a key is pressed will be described. When the key of the keyboard device is depressed or when the depressed key is released, the input operation detection circuit 12 supplies the interrupt signal KI to the tone signal generation instructing unit SG. Using the key-on/key-off interrupt signal KI as a trigger, the tone signal generation instruction unit SG uses the key-on data KON indicating that a key of the keyboard device KY is pressed or the key-off data KOFF indicating that the key is released. To get from. The key-on data KON includes a note number NN indicating the pitch of the depressed key and a velocity VL indicating the depression strength. Further, the key-off data KOFF includes the note number NN indicating the pitch of the released key. When the tone signal generation instructing unit SG acquires the key-on data KON, it supplies the note number NN and velocity VL included in the key-on data KON to the tone generator circuit 17 to generate the tone signal of each performance part PT _n . A tone signal corresponding to the supplied data is generated. Further, when the tone signal generation instructing section SG acquires the key-off data KOFF, it supplies the note number NN contained in the key-off data to the tone generator circuit 17 to generate the tone signal of each performance part PT _n. The generation of the tone signal corresponding to the selected data is stopped. Further, the tone signal generation instruction section SG is supplied with key-on data KON and key-off data KOFF from an external device through the external interface circuit 16. Also in this case, the tone signal generation instruction section SG operates in the same manner as the operation when the key-on data KON and the key-off data KOFF are supplied from the keyboard device KY.

Next, the parameter value calculation unit PS will be described. The parameter value calculation unit PS calculates the indicated value of the assignable knob KN _S and the master knob KN _M. During power up, parameter calculation unit PS sets respectively Assignable KN _S and indicated value v _S and instruction value v _M of the master knob KN _M to "0" or a predetermined initial value.

When the assignable knob KN _S is manually operated, the input operation detection circuit 12 supplies an interrupt signal SI indicating that the assignable knob KN _S has been operated to the parameter value calculation unit PS. The parameter value calculator PS calculates the instruction value v _S of the assignable knob KN _S in response to the interrupt signal SI. Specifically, the parameter calculation unit PS is Assignable KN _S output from the said two pulse trains Pa, Pb, an be obtained via an input operation detection circuit 12. Then, the number of pulses constituting the pulse train Pa (or pulse train Pb), and the pulse train Pa, based on the phase shift of Pb, calculates the manual operation amount Delta] v _S of Assignable KN _S. When the rotating direction of the assignable knob KN _S is clockwise, the manual operation amount Δv _S has a positive value. On the other hand, when the rotating direction of the assignable knob KN _S is counterclockwise, the manual operation amount Δv _S has a negative value. The parameter value calculation unit PS adds the calculated manual operation amount Δv _S to the instruction value v _S.

Therefore, the user turn the Assignable KN _S clockwise, indicated value v _S of Assignable KN _S increases in proportion to the rotation angle. On the other hand, turning the Assignable KN _S counterclockwise, instruction value v _S of Assignable KN _S decreases in proportion to the rotation angle. The maximum value of the instruction value v _S of the assignable knob KN _S is, for example, “127”. Moreover, the minimum value of the instruction value v _S of the assignable knob KN _S is, for example, “0”. That is, when an instruction value _{v S} of Assignable KN _S is "127", even further turning the Assignable KN _S clockwise, indicated value _{v S} of Assignable KN _S does not change. Further, when the instruction value _{v S} of Assignable KN _S is "0", even further turning the Assignable KN _S counterclockwise, instruction value _{v S} of Assignable KN _S does not change.

The parameter value calculation unit PS refers to the setting data SD _m to which the operated assignable knob KN _S is assigned, and calculates the parameter value based on the calculated instruction value v _S and the curve data CD _m . Then, the destination data DN _{m of the} referenced setting data SD _m and the calculated parameter value are supplied to the tone generator circuit 17 as a set of data pr.

When the master knob KN _M is manually operated, the input operation detection circuit 12 supplies the parameter value calculation unit PS with an interrupt signal MI indicating that the master knob KN _M has been operated. The parameter value calculation unit PS calculates the instruction value v _M of the master knob KN _M in response to the interrupt signal MI. The procedure for calculating the instruction value v _{M is the same as} the procedure for calculating the instruction value v _S.

Then, the parameter value calculation unit PS, based on the calculated instruction value v _M and the operator setting table TB _KN , an instruction corresponding to the instruction value v _{S=1, 2,..., 8} of the assignable knob KN _S. The values vv _{S=1, 2,..., 8} are calculated respectively. Specifically, the parameter calculation unit PS refers to the operator setting table _{TB KN} acquires an instruction value _{v S1, v S2,} the current instruction value _{v M} of the master knob KN _M, and said acquired instruction The values v _S1 and v _S2 are applied to the following formula (1). As a result, the instruction value vv _S is linearly interpolated.

The parameter value calculation unit PS refers to the setting data SD _m to which each assignable knob KN _S is assigned, and calculates the parameter value based on the calculated instruction value vv _S and the curve data CD _m . Then, the parameter identification information of the allocation data AS _m of the referenced setting data SD _m and the calculated parameter value are supplied to the tone generator circuit 17 as a set of data pr.

That is, the data pr is generated based on the latest instruction value of the instruction value v _s and the instruction value vv _s , and is supplied to the tone generator circuit 17. In other words, the late arrival instruction value is preferentially used.
