Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a learning control device for cultivating the absolute pitch of musical tones, memorizing musical performances, and teaching based on various other problems presented.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electronic musical instruments having a guide function called a melody guide function and a chord guide function are known.

In the melody guide function, the position of the key to be pressed on the keyboard or the like is indicated by LED display or the like according to the sequence data of the music stored in advance in the memory, and the performer presses the key corresponding to the display position. This is a function that allows music to be played.

The chord guide function is also the same, and the positions of a plurality of keys to be depressed as chords on the keyboard etc. are set to L.
This is a function that allows the player to play a chord by giving an instruction by an ED display or the like, and the player pressing a plurality of keys corresponding to the display positions.

According to such a learning function, it is possible to easily play a musical composition or a chord by pressing a key or the like according to the display.

[0006]

However, in general, humans repeatedly practice a problem to be learned many times, for example, in training of absolute pitch of musical sounds, while practicing while listening to the problem sound many times, In addition, for example, in the case of storing the performance of a music piece, it is often possible to improve the memory ability by practicing while listening to each portion (for example, each bar portion) of the music piece many times. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is not possible to efficiently acquire the music simply by performing the performance in accordance with the guide display as in the above-mentioned conventional technique.

[0007] Such a problem is the same as in the case where the musical tone absolute pitch is cultivated, the performance of music is memorized, and various problems are presented. It is difficult to master the problem.

An object of the present invention is to enable effective teaching for presenting a problem.

[0009]

The first aspect of the present invention is as follows.
It is as follows. First, it has a question asking means for asking a question. This means is realized, for example, as a musical sound emitting question means that issues a musical sound of a bar forming a music as a bar problem sound.

Next, there is an answering means for answering the question given by the question asking means. This means is realized, for example, as a performance operation answering means for answering a sounding question of the bar problem sound by the above-mentioned musical sound sounding questioning means by a performance operation.

When the answer given by the answering means is correct for the question given by the question giving means, the question given in the past and the new question are successively given to the question giving means, and in the case of an incorrect answer. , Has a question question control means for causing the question questioning means to issue the same question as the question given this time next time. This means is, for example, when the answer by the performance operation by the performance operation answering means described above is correct with respect to the question of the bar problem sound by the above-mentioned musical sound emitting question means, the measure problem sound that has been uttered in the past is output. A new measure problem sound is sent to the musical sound output questioning means in order, and if the answer is incorrect, the same measure sound as the measure problem sounded this time is emitted to the musical sound output question problem setting means next time. It is realized as a sound emission problem question control means for making a question.

The second aspect of the present invention is as follows. First, it has a question asking means for asking a question. This means is realized, for example, as a musical tone sound output means for randomly outputting a musical tone having an arbitrary pitch as a pitch problem sound.

Next, there is an answering means for answering the question given by the question asking means. This means is realized, for example, as a performance operation answering means for answering a pitch by a performance operation to a question of a pitch problem sound produced by the above-mentioned musical sound emitting question means.

When the answer by the answering means is correct with respect to the question given by the question giving means, the number of questions obtained by adding the number of new questions to the number of questions given in the past is sequentially given to the question giving means. In the case of an incorrect answer, there is a question question control means for causing the question questioning means to issue the same number of questions as the question given this time. This means, for example,
The number of pitch problem sounds that have been sounded in the past when the answer of the pitch by the performance operation by the performance operation answering means described above is correct with respect to the question of the pitch problem sound by the above-mentioned musical sound emitting question means. The number of pitch problem sounds, which is the number of new pitch problem sounds, is sequentially given to the musical tone sound output questioning means, and in the case of an incorrect answer, the same number of pitch problem sounds as this time. It is realized as a sound emission problem question control unit that causes a high sound problem to be emitted to a musical sound emission question unit.

[0015]

In the first aspect of the present invention, when the correct answer is given, the question setting control means causes the question set in the past and the new question to be sequentially given to the question setting means.
Specifically, for example, the sound output question setting control means causes the musical sound output question setting means to sequentially issue the bar problem sounds that have been sounded in the past and the new bar problem sounds in order.

Therefore, if the correct answer continues, for example, in the musical tone question of each measure of the music, the musical tone of the same measure is played because the number of measures is increased and the question is included in the past. You can practice lessons while practicing once, and you can effectively improve your memory of playing music.

In the second aspect of the present invention, when a correct answer is given, the question setting control means sequentially adds the number of questions added to the number of questions set in the past to the number of new questions. Ask the questions to be asked. Specifically, for example, the sound output problem question control unit sequentially outputs the pitch problem sounds in a number obtained by adding the number of new pitch problem sounds to the number of pitch problem sounds that have been sounded in the past. Randomly ask the questioning means.

Therefore, if the correct answer continues, for example, in the case of an arbitrary pitch problem sound question, while the number of utterance questions is increased,
Music sounds are randomly given. Therefore, the absolute pitch can be effectively improved.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The first embodiment of the present invention is realized as an electronic musical instrument having a music learning function, and the second embodiment of the present invention is realized as an electronic musical instrument having a function of cultivating the absolute pitch of musical tones. Configuration of Embodiment FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram common to the first and second embodiments.

The control unit 101 is a ROM (not shown).
Work register 1 according to the control program stored in
07, the sequence data stored in the performance memory 103 is kept constant based on the operation flowchart of FIG. 2 (for the first embodiment) or FIG. 4 (for the second embodiment) described later. The performance information corresponding to the sequence data is output to the tone generator 105 while being read out unit by unit. As a result, tone generator 1
Reference numeral 05 generates musical tone waveform data in question, and emits the sound through the sound system 106.

Further, the control unit 101 generates performance information corresponding to the operation of the player pressing a key on the keyboard 102 as an answer and outputs it to the tone generator 105. Therefore, the tone generator 105 also generates musical tone waveform data corresponding to the action of the player pressing a key on the keyboard 102 as an answer, and emits the sound through the sound system 106.

Then, the control unit 101 controls the performance memory 10
The sequence data from No. 3 is compared with the key pressing operation as the answer by the player from the keyboard 102, the correct answer or the incorrect answer is displayed on the display device 104, and the sequence data to be read next from the performance memory 103 is displayed. decide. Operation of the First Embodiment The operation of the first embodiment of the present invention based on the configuration of the embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described below.

In the first embodiment, music lessons can be taught in units of measures. First, the performance memory 103 stores, for example, sequence data corresponding to the music shown in FIG. 3A together with data representing the performance timing.

FIG. 2 shows the control unit 10 in the first embodiment.
3 is an operation flowchart corresponding to a control program executed by No. 1; First, in step S201, the value of the question bar number register G in the work register 107 is cleared to zero.

Next, while the value of the question bar number register G is incremented by +1 in step S202, until the value of the question bar number register G reaches a predetermined maximum value MAX in step S210, step S202.
The processing from S210 to S210 is repeatedly executed.

That is, first, in step S202, the value of the question bar number register G is incremented by +1. Next, in step S203, the sequence data from the first measure to the (measure value of the question measure register G) measure is
The performance information corresponding to the performance information is sequentially read out from the performance memory 103 and output to the tone generator 105, and the corresponding tone is emitted from the tone generator 105 via the sound system 106. For example, at the first time, as a result of step S202 being executed, G = 1, so that the musical sound for one bar shown in FIG. 3 (b) is emitted, for example.

Subsequently, every time the occurrence of key depression is detected in step S204, the key depression data detected from the keyboard 102 is written in the key depression memory in the work register 107.
Then, when it is determined in step S206 that 4 × G key depressions have occurred, step S207 is executed. For example, since G = 1 as described above at the first time, four key-depression data corresponding to four musical tones for one bar shown in FIG. 3B, for example, are written in the key-depression memory. In this embodiment, an example in which each bar is composed of four tones has been described. However, when the number of tones of each bar is different, the number of tones of each bar is counted when step S203 is executed, and The determination value in step S206 may be determined based on this.

In step S207, step S203
Whether the musical tones from the 1st bar to (the value of the number-of-questions bar register G) from the 1st bar and the key-pressing data of the number equal to the number of the tones stored in the key-pressing memory are the same. It is determined whether or not.

If the musical tone provided and the key depression data do not match, the display device 104 is operated at step S208.
After the misunderstanding is displayed, the process returns to step S203, and the same number of musical tones as in the previous question is given.

For example, when G = 1 in the previous time and the musical tone for one bar shown in FIG. 3 (b) was posed, and the key depression data corresponding thereto was incorrect (incorrect), As shown in c), the same one measure of musical tone is again given.

When the musical tone provided and the key depression data match, the correct answer is displayed on the display device 104 in step S209, and then the determination in step S210 is performed.
The process returns to step S202, and the question measure number register G is set there.
Is incremented by 1. Then, step S203 described above
~ The same processing as S209 is executed.

As a result, for example, when the last time is G = 1,
After the musical sound for one bar shown in (b) is played, if the corresponding key depression data is correct, as shown in FIG. Music for one to two measures including music is given.

If the key-depression data corresponding to this question is misunderstood, the musical tone of the same two bars is reproduced again in step S203 through step S208, as shown in FIG. 3 (e). If the question is given and the answer is correct, in step S203 through step S202, as shown in FIG. 3 (f), the musical sound of 1 to 3 bars including the musical sound of 2 bars up to the previous time is output. You will be asked.

In this way, when it is determined in step S210 that the value of the question bar number register G has reached the predetermined maximum value MAX, the score so far is displayed on the display device 104 in step S211. After that, the questioning process ends.

As described above, in the first embodiment,
When the correct answer continues, the musical tone of each measure of the music stored in the performance memory 103 is presented, including the amount of the previous question, while the number of measures is increased. Therefore, it is possible to proceed with the lessons while practicing musical tones of the same measure many times, and to effectively improve the memory of the musical composition. Operation of the Second Embodiment Next, the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention based on the configuration of the embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described below.

In the second embodiment, it is possible to teach the absolute pitch of a musical tone by randomly giving a musical tone. FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart corresponding to the control program executed by the control unit 101 in the second embodiment.

First, in step S401, the musical note number register N in the work register 107 is cleared to zero.
Next, in step S402, while the value of the musical note number register N is incremented by +1, step S413
The processes of steps S402 to S413 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the value of the musical note number register N reaches the predetermined maximum value MAX.

That is, first, in step S402, the value of the question tone number register N is incremented by +1. Next, in step S403, the work register 107
The value of the key depression number register M therein is set to 1. This register will be described later.

Next, in step S404, N pitch data are generated based on random numbers generated by a random number generation routine (not shown), and the work register 107 is generated.
Are stored in the pitch registers E (1) to E (N).

Then, in step S405, N pieces of performance information corresponding to the contents of the pitch registers E (1) to E (N) are output to the tone generator 105, and N pieces of musical tones corresponding thereto are output to the tone generator. Sound is emitted from 105 through the sound system 106. For example, at the first time, as a result of execution of step S402, N = 1, so that one musical tone shown in FIG. 5 (a) is emitted, for example.

Subsequently, every time the occurrence of a key depression is detected in step S406, the key depression data detected from the keyboard 102 is stored in the key depression register Q (M) in the work register 107. Then, until the value of the key depression number register M is incremented by +1 in step S409 until it is determined in step S408 that M = N, step S406
Then, the process of fetching the key depression data in step S407 is repeated. As a result, when the determination in step S408 is YES, N key depression registers Q (1) to Q (N)
The key depression data is obtained at. For example, at the first time, N = 1 as described above, so that, for example, 1 shown in FIG.
The key depression data corresponding to the number of key depressions is the key depression register Q (1).
Written in.

In step S410, the contents of the N pitch registers E (1) to E (N) and the N key depression registers Q are registered.
It is determined whether or not the contents of (1) to Q (N) match. As a result, if the N musical tones and the N key depression data do not match, in step S411,
After the misunderstanding is displayed on the display device 104, the process returns to step S403 again, and the same number of musical tones as those at the time of the previous question are given.

If the N musical tones given and the N key depression data match, in step S412, the display device 1
After the correct answer is displayed from 04, the process returns to step S402 through the determination in step S413, and the value of the musical note number register N is incremented by one there. Then, the same processing as steps S403 to S412 described above is executed.

As a result, for example, when the last time is N = 1,
When one musical tone shown in (a) is posed and one corresponding key depression data is correct as shown in Fig. 5 (b), it is shown in Fig. 5 (c). As you can see, two musical tones are asked. Then, as shown in FIG. 5D, when the two key depression data corresponding thereto are also correct,
As shown in (e), three musical tones are presented, and as shown in FIG. 5 (f), an answer by key depression is given.

In this way, when it is determined in step S413 that the value of the musical tone number register N has reached the predetermined maximum value MAX, the score so far is displayed on the display device 104 in step S414. After that, the questioning process ends.

As described above, in the second embodiment,
If the correct answer continues, musical tones are randomly given while the number of questions is increased. Therefore, the absolute pitch can be effectively improved. Other EmbodimentsThe above-described embodiments are for the case where a predetermined piece of music is posed in units of bars, or musical tones are randomly presented, but chords are posed and an answer is given to them. It may be configured. In this case, as the number of correct answers increases, the number of types of chords to be given increases.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the musical tone given to the question and the musical tone answered by the key depression are compared only by their pitches, but the comparison condition is whether the musical lengths or performance timings match. May be added.

Further, the above-mentioned embodiment has been concerned with the operation when the musical tone to be emitted is used as a problem, but the present invention is not limited to this, and English, mathematics, national language, science It can also be applied to visual questions for subjects such as social studies. In this case, the problem that has been asked in the past is repeatedly given as the number of correct answers increases.

Further, when a question that has been asked in the past is repeatedly given, the question can be arranged so that the question interval is shortened.
