It outputs a musical sound.

[Keyboard light emission processing]
Subsequently, a keyboard light emitting process in which the electronic keyboard instrument 1 causes the key 21 to emit light will be described.
3 to 6 are flowcharts showing the flow of the keyboard light emitting process, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing an example of the light emitting state of the key 21 in the keyboard light emitting process. Note that, in FIGS. 7 and 8, only the light emitting unit 211 that emits light is shown, and the light emitting unit 211 that does not emit light is omitted (however, the broken line portion in FIG. 8B). except for). Further, in FIGS. 7 and 8, the key 21 that has been pressed is shown as a picture with a finger attached to the tip.

The keyboard light emitting process is a process of causing the key 21 to emit light in response to this operation when the musical tone controller is operated by the user, and is repeatedly executed in a short cycle. Here, the "musical tone operator" is an operator that gives a change to the musical tone generated by the performance operation on the key 21, and in the present embodiment, the operator 24 of the operation unit 23 and the pedal unit 3 are used. The pedal 31.
This keyboard light emission processing is executed by the control unit 80 reading the keyboard light emission program 71 from the storage unit 70 and expanding it based on the user operation.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a key pressing operation is performed on any of the keys 21 while the keyboard light emitting process is being executed (step S1), the control unit 80 is pressed by the input unit 40. The position of the key 21 is detected (step S2), and the pressing strength or speed (key pressing strength) of the key 21 is detected (step S3). Then, the control unit 80 uses the voice output unit 60 to generate a musical tone having a pitch corresponding to the key pressing position at a volume corresponding to the key pressing intensity.

Next, the control unit 80 causes the light emitting unit 211 of the key 21 corresponding to the key pressing position (pitch) detected in step S2 to emit light with a light emitting pattern corresponding to the key pressing intensity (volume) detected in step S3. (Step S4).
In this embodiment, the light emission pattern (light emission mode) at this time is such that the key 21 is made to emit light with a light emission intensity corresponding to the volume, as shown in FIG. 7 (a). However, this light emission pattern is not particularly limited as long as it corresponds to the volume, and for example, the blinking speed corresponding to the volume (for example, the louder the volume, the faster the blinking), or the emission color (for example, the louder the volume, the darker) The key 21 may be made to emit light by color). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7B, an indicator display may be used in which the volume is indicated by the number of light emitted by the light emitting units 211 of the plurality of keys 21 selected with the key 21 operated by the key pressed as a reference. In the example of FIG. 7B, the volume state of 3/7 in which the light emitting unit 211 of the three keys 21 emits light with respect to the total number of light emission for seven keys shown by the broken line in the figure is shown.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 80 determines whether or not the volume knob 24a of the operation unit 23 has been operated (step S5).
Then, when it is determined that the volume knob 24a has been operated (step S5; Yes), the control unit 80 detects the operation content (operation direction and operation amount) by the input unit 40, and voices according to the operation content. The volume to be output from the output unit 60 is changed (step S6).

At this time, the control unit 80 changes the light emission pattern of the key 21 emitted in step S4 in accordance with the change content of the volume in step S6 (step S7).
In the present embodiment, since the key 21 is made to emit light with a light emission intensity corresponding to the volume, the light emission intensity of the key 21 is changed according to the change content of the volume. When the light emission pattern is a blinking speed, a light emission color, or an indicator display, these light emission patterns may be changed in response to a change in volume. Alternatively, the key 21 may be made to emit light in a light emitting pattern according to the combination of the key pressing intensity and the content of the change in volume.
As a result, it is possible to notify the change in the volume of the musical sound, and the user (performer) can visually recognize the degree of the change in the volume.
After that, the control unit 80 shifts the process to step S9 described later.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 above that the volume knob 24a has not been operated (step S5; No), as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 80 has operated the modulation wheel 24b of the operation unit 23. It is determined whether or not (step S11).
Then, when it is determined that the modulation wheel 24b has been operated (step S11; Yes), the control unit 80 detects the operation content by the input unit 40, and periodically changes the pitch according to the operation content. , Vibrato is applied to the musical sound output from the audio output unit 60 (step S12).

At this time, the control unit 80 changes the light emission pattern of the key 21 emitted in step S4 in correspondence with the vibrato operation (step S13).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the control unit 80 blinks the key 21 in a blinking cycle corresponding to the vibrato frequency. However, the light emission mode at this time does not have to be blinking as long as it can notify the vibrato frequency. For example, as described above, the vibrato frequency is expressed by the light emission intensity, the light emission color, the light emission number, or the like of the light emitting unit 211. It may be that.
As a result, the vibrato of the musical tone can be notified, and the user (performer) can visually recognize the degree of vibrato.
After that, the control unit 80 shifts the process to step S9 described later.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that the modulation wheel 24b has not been operated (step S11; No), as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 80 has operated the pitch bend wheel 24c of the operation unit 23. It is determined whether or not (step S21).
When it is determined that the pitch bend wheel 24c has been operated (step S21; Yes), the control unit 80 detects the operation content by the input unit 40, and outputs the musical sound from the voice output unit 60 according to the operation content. The pitch of is smoothly changed up and down (step S22).

At this time, the control unit 80 causes the key 21D at the key press position and the other key 21A corresponding to the change direction of the pitch to emit light based on the content of the change in the pitch (step S23).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, the control unit 80 identifies another key 21A corresponding to the direction of change in pitch due to the pitch bend operation (black, which is a semitone higher in the example of FIG. 8A). Key 21b) and the other key 21A are made to emit light together with the key 21D at the key pressing position.
At this time, as shown in the graph on the right side of FIG. 8A, the control unit 80 sets the key 21D at the key press position and the other keys 21A according to the change in pitch (how much the pitch bender is applied). Each is made to emit light with the same emission intensity. However, the light emitting mode at this time does not have to change the light emitting intensity as long as it can notify the degree of pitch bender. For example, as described above, the light emitting color, the number of light emitted, or the blinking speed of the light emitting unit 211. It may be possible to express the degree of pitch bender by using.
As a result, it is possible to notify the pitch change of the musical tone, and the user (performer) can visually recognize the degree of pitch bender.
After that, the control unit 80 shifts the process to step S9 described later.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S21 described above that the pitch bend wheel 24c is not operated (step S21; No), as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 80 determines whether the pedal 31 of the pedal unit 3 has been operated. (Step S31).
Then, when it is determined that the pedal 31 has been operated (step S21; Yes), the control unit 80 detects the operation content by the input unit 40, and causes a musical tone change corresponding to the operated pedal 31 and the operation content. (Step S32).
For example, when the sostenuto pedal 31b is operated, the control unit 80 extends the musical tone of the key 21 that was pressed when the sostenuto pedal 31b was operated.

At this time, the control unit 80 causes the specific key 21, whose musical tone is changed by the pedal operation, to emit light regardless of whether or not it is pressed at that time (step S33).
For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 80 emits a key 21 that is pressed and causes a musical tone change due to pedal operation, and even if the key is pressed, there is no musical tone change due to pedal 31 operation. 21 does not emit light as shown by a broken line in the figure. Further, at this time, the light emitting state (for example, the light emitting intensity) of the key 21 causing the musical sound change is changed according to the state of the musical sound change (for example, the light emitting intensity at the time when the musical sound change is started is the strongest, and the musical sound change. The light emission may be stopped when the above is completed. However, the light emitting mode at this time is not particularly limited.
As a result, it is possible to notify the musical sound change due to the pedal operation, and the user (performer) can visually recognize the effect.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 80 determines whether or not the key 21 pressed in step S1 is released (step S9), and determines that the key release operation is not performed. If this is the case (step S9; No), the process proceeds to step S5 described above.
Then, when it is determined that the key release operation of the key 21 has been performed (step S9; Yes), the control unit 80 ends the keyboard light emitting process for the key 21.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the operation unit 23 or the pedal unit 3 is operated by the performer, the light emitting unit 211 of the keyboard unit 22 emits light in a light emitting mode according to the change content of the musical sound due to this operation. do.
As a result, the content of the musical tone change due to the musical tone operation can be notified, and the content of the musical tone change can be visually recognized by the performer.

Further, when the volume knob 24a is operated during the key pressing operation, any one of the emission intensity, blinking speed, emission color, and emission number of the key 21 (light emitting unit 211) changes based on the change in volume. do.
As a result, it is possible to notify the change in the volume of the musical sound, and the performer can visually recognize the degree of the change in the volume.

Further, when the modulation wheel 24b is operated during the key pressing operation, the key 21 (light emitting unit 211) emits light at a blinking cycle corresponding to the vibrato frequency given to the musical tone.
As a result, the vibrato of the musical tone can be notified, and the performer can visually recognize the degree of vibrato.

Further, when the pitch bend wheel 24c is operated during the key pressing operation, the light emitting unit 211 of the pressed key 21 and another key 21A corresponding to the changing direction of the pitch are used based on the change content of the pitch. The light emitting unit 211 emits light.
As a result, it is possible to notify the pitch change of the musical tone, and the performer can visually recognize the degree of pitch bender.

Further, when the pitch bend wheel 24c is operated during the key pressing operation, the light emitting unit 211 of the pressed key 21 and the light emitting unit 211 of the other key 21A emit light with a light emitting intensity corresponding to the change in pitch. ..
As a result, the performer can more easily and visually recognize the degree of pitch bender.

Further, when the pedal 31 is operated during the key pressing operation, only the light emitting unit 211 of the pressed key 21 whose musical tone is changed by the operation of the pedal 31 emits light.
As a result, it is possible to notify the musical tone change (which key 21 musical tone is changing) due to the pedal operation, and the performer can visually recognize the effect.

[Modification example]
In the above embodiment, in the keyboard light emission process, when the pitch bend operation is performed, the change in pitch is shown at one time (in one light emission) in step S23, but the stepwise change in pitch is shown. It may be shown.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, when it is determined that the pitch bend wheel 24c has been operated (step S21; Yes), the control unit 80 specifies the final change amount together with the change direction of the pitch (step). S25). Then, the control unit 80 determines the amount of stepwise change in pitch to be changed next (step S26). Then, the control unit 80 causes the original pitch and the key corresponding to the finally changed pitch to emit light in a light emission pattern (for example, the light emission amount) corresponding to the stepwise change in pitch (step S27). .. After that, the control unit 80 may determine whether or not the pitch has changed to the final change amount (step S28), and repeat steps S26 and S27 until the pitch changes. That is, from the start to the completion of the change in the pitch of the musical tone, the light emission intensity of the key 21 at the key press position is gradually weakened, and at the same time, the light emission intensity of the other keys 21A is gradually increased. To go.
As a result, it is possible to notify the stepwise pitch change of the musical tone, and the user (performer) can visually recognize the stepwise pitch change.

Further, in the above embodiment, the presence / absence determination for all musical tone operations of volume operation, modulation operation, pitch bend operation, and pedal operation is included in the keyboard light emission processing. However, the keyboard light emission processing may include at least one of these musical tone operations.

Further, the modulation operation is not limited to the one that applies vibrato to the musical tone, and may be the one that imparts another musical tone change such as tremolo.
Further, the pedal operation has been described by taking the sostenuto pedal 31b as an example, but the damper pedal 31a and the soft pedal 31c also emit the key 21 according to the degree of the musical sound effect, as in the case of the sostenuto pedal 31b. Of course, it should be done.

Further, the light emitting mode of the light emitting unit 211 according to the change content of the musical tone is not limited to the above. For example, the light emission intensity of the key 21 (light emitting unit 211) may be weakened as the sound becomes quieter after the key is pressed. Further, when the musical tone changes, the light emitting unit 211 may emit light according to the content of the change, and the light emitting unit 211 may not emit light in advance when the key is pressed before that.
Further, the light emitting unit 211 may not be provided on each of the plurality of keys 21 as long as it is provided on the keyboard unit 22. However, it is of course preferable that the keys 21 correspond to a plurality of keys 21.
