Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention utilizes a video playback system to
The present invention relates to a performance device that enables effective practice of playing, for example, an electronic musical instrument, and improves the effectiveness of performance training.

[Prior Art] Practicing playing an electric musical instrument is essentially performed based on musical scores and following the teacher's instructions, but it is also possible to practice playing in an ensemble with a large number of other musical instruments. is extremely difficult. In fact, in order to perform such performance practice, the player must perform together with a large number of other performers who perform in an ensemble.

It is also known to perform performance practice based on the reproduction of a so-called minus 1 practice record, which excludes only one part of an ensemble performance. However, with this method of using minus 1 records, only the performance sounds excluding the performance sound of the specified part are played from the speakers, making it difficult to understand the progress of the performance in relation to the musical score. Therefore, it is not effective for beginners such as young children to practice playing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points. It is an object of the present invention to provide a musical performance device that enables even beginners to effectively practice ensemble performance, etc. by surely understanding the contents of the performance sounds to be played.

That is, the performance apparatus according to the present invention uses a video reproduction system that reproduces an audio signal of a performance sound excluding at least one part of an ensemble performance together with a video signal, and displays performance information corresponding to the performance of the excluded part. Performance instruction data such as chords and staff notations are made into a caption form and expressed on an image.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A performance device according to the present invention includes a first display device for displaying a musical score related to at least one performance part of an ensemble performance consisting of a plurality of parts.
a second video signal for displaying the performance scene of the ensemble performance, and further a sound signal of performance sounds related to other parts other than the performance part corresponding to the first video signal. comprises a reproducing means for reproducing the signal together with the first and second video signals from a recording medium on which is recorded, and displaying the first and second video signals reproduced from the reproducing means on the same screen. At the same time, the reproduced sound signal is made to sound.

[Operation] In the performance apparatus configured in this manner, the first and second video signals related to the ensemble performance are simultaneously displayed on the same display. Therefore, for example, the performer understands the content of the performance by referring to the caption provided by the first video signal.
In addition, the performance status can be visually recognized by displaying the second video signal, and it is possible to perform in accordance with the reproduced sound signal, so the player can perform with a sense of unity with other performers. Practice can be performed accurately, and the effect of self-studying performance is improved.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows its configuration. It is equipped with a video playback system 11 such as a video disk device or a video tape recorder. For example, an audio signal of an ensemble performance excluding the singing part is recorded together with the video signal. and,
The video signal reproduced by this reproduction system 11 is
The video signal reproduction device 12 visualizes and represents the audio signal, and the audio signal is reproduced as performance sound by the audio signal reproduction device 13 constituted by a speaker system.

On the video disk or video tape of the video reproduction system 11, telop information is further recorded in addition to the above-mentioned video and audio signals. This caption information is recorded in the form of a video signal, and this caption information is configured as a composite video integrally with the video signal supplied to the video signal reproduction device 12, and the caption information reproduction device 14 is configured to: It is substantially composed of the video signal reproducing device 12.

FIG. 2 shows a more concrete example, in which a television camera 20 is used to photograph the performance scene of the performers, and a microphone 21 is used to collect audio information from, for example, two channels of minus one. Furthermore, a caption camera 22 is set, and this camera 2
2 takes a picture of the 5-line score or the caption information 23 corresponding to the singing content, and these cameras 20 and 2
The video information photographed in step 2 is combined and recorded on a recording medium 24 as one video signal. This recording medium 24 also records audio information from the microphone 21 at the same time, and this recording medium 24 is constituted by a video disk or a video tape.

The video signal and audio signal including the caption recorded on the recording medium 24 are reproduced by the video reproduction system 11, and then reproduced by the video projector 25 and the speakers 26a and 26b.

When practicing ensemble performance, the mutual relationship between the performance of each part is extremely important, and it is not effective to pick up only one part and practice performance alone. Of course, this is fine at the initial stage when you just want to be able to play that part, but if you want to practice playing that part as a complete piece, you can listen to and check the performances of other parts, and then create an ensemble. If you don't play with consideration, you won't be able to improve.

According to the performance device shown in the embodiment, since the performance sounds of parts other than the part to be practiced are simultaneously generated as sounds, it is difficult to listen to the performance sounds of the other parts. While checking the performance, the user can proceed with the performance practice of the part to be practiced. In this case, the performance practice is progressed based on the displayed caption information of the video projector 25.

In other words, one person can practice an actual ensemble performance while grasping the overall performance flow (progress) of an ensemble performance piece.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the performance device according to the present invention, the first and second video signals related to the ensemble performance are simultaneously displayed on the same display, and the performer can This system allows users to understand the content of a performance by referring to a caption displaying performance instruction data based on the first video signal, and to visually practice performance based on the performance situation based on the second video signal. Performance practice can be performed accurately with a sense of unity, and the effect of self-studying performance is improved.
