Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively express the information of a tone color and rhythm as the sound of a musical tone waveform as it is by depressing each tone color selection switch on a control part. CONSTITUTION:This device is comprised of a control circuit part 13 which controls the control panel part 10 in which the tone color selection switches 20, 21 arranged in a control panel and tone color character are arranged (1-3, or A-C), a shake sensor 11, a beat sensor 12, and a sound source part 14, and a reproducing part 15 which reproduces a signal, and recognition by sound can be performed by depressing the tone color selection switches.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an audio device in which a tone color or a rhythm sound can be confirmed as a sound by pressing a selection switch on an operation panel section.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in audio equipment, a method of allowing a user to easily recognize a display by an indicator or a screen (display) is generally used.

A conventional acoustic device will be described below.
FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a block diagram of a conventional audio device. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes an operation panel section. In the operation panel section, 20 is a timbre selection switch for shaking, 21 is a timbre selection switch for tapping, and an indicator 22 for indicating a timbre selected position is provided in the operation panel section. It is provided. Further, as external inputs, 11 is a shaking sensor, 12 is a hitting sensor, 13 control circuit sections for controlling the above, and a sound source section 1.
4 and a reproducing section 15 for reproducing a signal.

The operation of the acoustic device configured as described above will be described below. First, when the shaking tone color selection switch 20 in the operation panel unit 10 is pressed,
When the lit indicator moves and reaches the position where the user wants to set, the switch operation is stopped and the indicator is fixed at that position (for example, 2 in the display). This is done by inputting the operating state of the switch in the control circuit 13 and turning on the indicator. Next, when an input is applied to the shaking sensor-11, the control circuit 13 controls the tone generator section 14 to generate a musical tone signal of a designated tone color, and the reproducing section 15 outputs the tone signal. As a result, the sound selected by the shake tone color selection switch 20 is actually generated by the shake sensor-11. Similarly, the sound selected by the hit tone color selection switch 21 is actually generated by the operation of the hit sensor-12.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, since the tone color is selected by the tone color selection switch and the confirmation is made by the indicator and the display, it is determined whether or not the actually set tone color is reproduced. , Had to make a confirmation as a sound. Further, although there are some sound processing devices such as word processor devices, there is a problem that the function must be judged by the sound output as a single sound.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art by deleting the indicator in the operation panel section and pressing the tone color selection switch so that the set tone color is immediately reproduced as a sound. An object is to provide an effective acoustic device.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, an audio device of the present invention includes an operation panel section, a shaking tone color selection switch provided on the operation panel section, a beating tone color selection switch and an input section. A sensor, a hit sensor,
The sound source section is provided, and the control circuit for controlling these and the playback section are integrated.

[0008]

With this configuration, each time the tone color selection switch in the operation panel is pressed, the displayed tone color is immediately output,
The timbre can be confirmed by sound.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes an operation panel section, and 2
0 is a timbre selection switch for shaking, 21 is a timbre selection switch for tapping, and 1 to 3 and A to C are timbre display. Further, a shaking sensor-11 and a hitting sensor-12 are provided as input units,
The sound source unit 14, a control circuit 13 that controls the information, and a reproduction unit 15 that reproduces a signal.

The operation of the acoustic device configured as described above will be described. First, when the timbre selection switch 20 of the operation panel section 10 is pressed as an input section, for example, the display 1 is set, and at the same time, the control circuit 13 processes it as information and outputs the designated timbre to the sound source section of 14 and outputs it to the reproducing section. 1
It is output as sound at 5. (Speaker is omitted) As for the timbre, only one set waveform information is output as a sound. Further, as another method of confirming the set tone color, it goes without saying that even if input to the shaking sensor-11, the set tone color is output as a sound, as described above. In addition, each time the 20 timbre selection switches to shake are displayed (1)
It changes in order to 3 and each set tone color changes sequentially.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the timbre can be visually confirmed by the indicator and the information by the sound from the information by the screen, without depending on the remote place or bright and dark. Further, it is possible to obtain an excellent effect in that the cost for the display indicator and the display can be greatly reduced. Also, an indicator or a display may be used.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to make a sound confirmation by simply shaking the operation panel section or pressing the tone color selection switch. In addition, it is possible to realize a superior acoustic device because it is possible to save space and to greatly reduce costs.
