Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a karaoke training apparatus in which a professional singer sings one chapter after another and sings together with a moving body that operates in association with a voice. .

(Prior Art) Conventional karaoke devices are known to only sing in tune with a performance played from a speaker, and for practicing singing, there is no choice but to learn from a special instructor through a karaoke classroom or the like. Moreover, this practice was not interesting because the emphasis was on how well to sing.

(Object of the Invention) It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to propose a training device for karaoke, English conversation, etc. that enables singing and English conversation practice at home easily while enjoying the movement of the moving body. And

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the karaoke practice device according to the present invention is characterized by including a karaoke tape, a reproducing device thereof, and an operating body.

(B) In the above karaoke tape, the accompaniment part excluding the prelude is divided into unit chapters, and one channel contains audio signals of accompaniment and singing by a professional singer, and another channel contains audio signals of accompaniment. (B) The audio signal of the one channel is recorded so as to be reproduced prior to the audio signals of the other channel. (C) The operating body is in any of the channels. An electric motor operated by one of the voice signals was provided. The voice signal of the model conversation was stored in one channel and the voice signal of the sound effect was stored in the other channel alternately and repeatedly for the same time as the model conversation. The English conversation tape may be reproduced by the reproducing device and the operating body may be operated by the audio signal of one of the channels.

(Operation and effect of the invention) According to the invention of claim 1, when the reproducing apparatus is operated, as described above, the prelude first starts and when it ends, the unit chapters are reproduced from one channel and another channel. To be done. When the sound of the professional singer is reproduced from one of the above-mentioned unit chapters that is reproduced earlier, the operating body operates by the audio signal, so that the operating body looks like a professional singer to the outside. Looks like moving while singing to. When the above unit clause ends, the performance of the same unit clause continues.

Therefore, the singer can listen to the professional singer's way of singing only the unit chapter, and then sing the same chapter according to the performance. Since it is only a unit chapter, when the person sings, there is still a record of how the professional sang. In this state, the practitioner can sing the same chapters with the same accompaniment, so the song progresses faster.

Moreover, the bent core member is rotated by the electric motor that is activated by the audio signal from one of the channels of the tape, and the body of the operating body that imitates the human body operates while curving back and forth and left and right, so Since it operates in accordance with the signal, it is possible to provide an exercise apparatus in which the moving body looks like singing while moving, and is fun and free from tension.

According to the invention of (2), since the practitioner can repeat the conversation while listening to the sound effect immediately after listening to the model conversation while the memory of the model conversation remains, the sense of presence is increased and the learning effect is improved. And the conversation improves faster.

In addition, the bent core material is rotated by the electric motor that is activated by the audio signal of one of the tape channels, and the body of the operating body that imitates the human body operates while curving back and forth and left and right. It is possible to provide a practicing device that makes it look like the user is talking while the moving body is moving, and that is fun and free from tension because it operates in accordance with.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a practice device for karaoke, English conversation, etc. This practice device operates in accordance with a karaoke tape 1, its reproducing device 2, and an audio signal reproduced by the reproducing device 2. It is composed of an operating body 3.

The karaoke tape 1 is provided with at least two channels, but the accompaniment part excluding the prelude has one channel (hereinafter referred to as the first channel) 4a and another channel (see FIG. 2). Hereinafter referred to as the second channel) 4b are alternately arranged in Chapter 1, Section a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2.
... The repeated performance section A is recorded one by one. Further, in the first channel 4a, which is reproduced and played earlier in Chapter 1 above, the singing section B by a professional singer is also recorded at the same time.

When the above-mentioned karaoke tape 1 is set in the playback device 2 and played back, first the prelude begins, and when it reaches the accompaniment part, the accompaniment including the professional singing part B from the first channel 4a is only chapter 1 section a1. Then, the accompaniment of the same chapter a2 is reproduced from the second channel 4b. Then, the following chapters are reproduced successively from the first channel 4a and the second channel 4b, and the following chapters are similarly repeated.

Next, the operating body 3 is formed on a pot-shaped base 5 imitating a human body with a flower on the face and a microphone on the body, and the lower end of the hollow body 3a is fixed to the base 5.

As shown in FIG. 3, the actuating device of the operating body 3 has the above-mentioned body portion.
A bent metal core 6 is inserted into the inside of 3a, and the core 6
Is formed by penetrating the upper plate 7 of the base 5 and providing a gear 8 at its lower end, and the gear 8 is linked to the electric motor 10 via reduction gears 9, 9, and the electric motor 10 has a first channel.
It is configured to be operated by a voice signal based on the performance section A and the singing section B of Chapter 1 of 4a. That is, the switch of the power supply is turned on by this voice signal, and the electric motor 10 is driven by this.

When the electric motor 10 is driven, its rotational force is transmitted to the gear 8 via the reduction gears 9, 9 and the gear 8 rotates.
Since the foldable core member 6 arranged in the body portion 3a is fixed to the gear 8, the core member 6 can be rotated in the hollow body portion 3a. It is possible to operate so as to undulate according to the shape of the core material 6.

When the reproducing apparatus 2 is operated in the above-described configuration, as described above, the prelude starts first, and when it ends, the chapters are reproduced one by one from the first channel 4a and the second channel 4b.
When the sound of the professional singer and the accompaniment is reproduced from the singing section B of the first channel 4a, the operating body 3 operates by the audio signal, so that the operating body 3 looks like a professional singer to the outside. Looks like moving while singing. In this way, the practitioner can listen to a professional singer's way of singing only one chapter, and then sing the same chapter himself. It's only one chapter, so when I sing, I still have memories of how the professional sang. Moreover, since it seems that the moving body 3 is singing while working, it is interesting and does not cause tension. For this reason, the song improves faster.

The speaker 11 of the reproducing device 2 may be provided in the core of the operating body 3, and if the sound from the speaker 11 reproduces the sound signal from the first channel 4a,
The situation in which the moving body 3 moves while singing can be more realistically revealed.

If the electric motor 10 is configured to be operated by the sound signal of the second channel 4b instead of the first channel 4a, the operating body 3 appears to move in synchronism with the trainee. You can create another atmosphere.

Furthermore, the chapters repeatedly recorded on the karaoke tape 1 are not limited to one chapter each, as in the above example. Any number of chapters can be used as a unit.

Next, the practice device is not limited to karaoke, but can be applied as another practice device. For example, in the case of an English conversation practice device, an English conversation tape may be set in the reproducing device 2 instead of the karaoke tape. On this tape for English conversation, one channel 4a and another channel 4b are alternately divided into appropriate parts, and model conversations and sound effects of the same length are recorded, and based on the model conversation of the one channel. It may be configured by an operating body provided with an electric motor that operates by a voice signal.

According to the above configuration, when the model conversation is reproduced, the action body 3 is moved by the voice signal at the same time, so that it is possible to create a situation in which the action body 3 is in the model conversation.
In addition, following the model conversation, the practitioner repeats the conversation while listening to the sound effects of other channel 4b. At this time, if a sound effect generated at the airport, station, etc. is repeatedly recorded in the conversation section (in this case, it is preferable to record the same sound effect in the model conversation section), the sense of presence is increased during the reproduction. The learning effect is improved.
