Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily and rapidly revise the setting or edit of a parameter by comprising an operation element setting on/off and another operation element selecting the transition to a parameter editing state. CONSTITUTION: A program ROM 11, a data/working RAM 12, a key depression detection circuit 13 and a switch detection circuit 14, etc., are connected to a CPU 10 controlling the whole operation through a data/address bus 1A. The switch detection circuit 14 is provided corresponding to each operation element provided on a panel 19, and it outputs the operation data corresponding to an operation condition of each operation element as event information. Then, when the parameter related to a certain function is edited, an operator easily makes the device move to a parameter editable state by operating the operation element of a selective function after operating the operation element corresponding to the function from an operation element group related to the on/off of the function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parameter editing apparatus for setting and changing parameters corresponding to various functions of an electronic musical instrument or musical tone effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic musical instruments display parameters corresponding to various functions and musical tone effects from a large number of hierarchically structured parameters on a display device, and operate while viewing the displayed numerical values and figures. A person operates the setting operation element to appropriately turn on / off various functions and tone effects and change the setting of parameters relating to the functions and effects. In this way, among those that easily turn on / off the function or the musical sound effect and set the parameters related thereto, the operator (switch) for turning the function or the musical sound effect on / off is operated for a predetermined time or more (for example, By pressing and holding the switch), instead of turning the function on / off, the screen moves to the parameter setting mode screen for setting each parameter corresponding to the function or the musical sound effect.

[0003]

However, the operation is performed according to the operation state of the operator regarding whether the function or the tone effect is turned on / off (whether the button is simply lightly pressed or kept pressed for a few seconds) as in the prior art. If the function corresponding to the switch or the on / off processing of the sound effect is to be performed or the screen is switched to the parameter setting mode screen, the operator can perform such functions of the operator itself or the sound effect in advance through a manual or the like. Must be aware of. Therefore, even if an operator who does not recognize the function of the operator itself or the tone effect is operated, it is not possible to shift to the parameter setting mode screen.

Even if the operator recognizes the function and tone effect of the operator itself, each operator has different methods of operating the operator, so that the operator has different functions and tone effects. Even though I operated it with the intention of switching on and off, I switched to the parameter setting mode screen, and vice versa, even though I operated it with the intention of switching to the parameter setting mode screen, this time the function and tone effect You may accidentally switch on / off, or you may get a malfunction. The operator may notice such a malfunction in advance, but if he / she finishes the operation without noticing it,
Incorrect parameters remain set. In addition, since it is not known at what point in time the operation was erroneous, it takes a lot of time to correct it, which may hinder quick setting.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and a parameter editing device capable of easily and quickly performing parameter setting change and editing without being erroneously set by an operator's setting operation. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

In a parameter editing device according to the present invention, a group of manipulators for setting various functions and on / off of a tone effect and one of the manipulators in this manipulator group are operated. In the case of the operation, the operator function assigning means for assigning a selection function of whether or not to move to a parameter edit state related to the function of the operated operator to an operator other than the operated operator, and the selection. State changing means for shifting to the parameter edit state when an operator to which a function is assigned is operated.

[0007]

The operator group relates to various functions and on / off setting of the tone effect. Therefore, when any one of the operators is operated, the function corresponding to the operator is turned on or off. At this time,
The manipulator function allocating means allocates to other manipulators a function of selecting whether or not to shift to a state in which the parameter associated with the function corresponding to the operated manipulator can be edited. That is, the operator to which the selection function is assigned may be assigned another function other than the selection function or may not be assigned any function before that. Therefore, when the operator to which this selection function is assigned is operated, the state changing means shifts to the editable state of the parameter accordingly. In this way, since the operator for setting the function ON / OFF and the operator for selecting the transition to the parameter edit state are composed of different operators, when performing the function ON / OFF switching, The person may operate the operator group for turning on / off the function. Further, when the operator wants to edit a parameter related to a certain function, the operator operates the operator corresponding to the function from the operator group related to the on / off of the function, and then the operator to which the selected function is assigned. It is possible to easily shift to a state in which the parameter can be edited by operating, and it is possible to quickly change or edit the parameter setting.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as described in claim 2, the manipulator function allocating means may cancel the allocation of the selected function after a lapse of a predetermined time. Further, as described in claim 3, the state changing means is changed to a simple parameter edit state for editing a parameter relating to a frequently used function from a plurality of parameters corresponding to the function of the operated operator. You may make it transfer. Further, as described in claim 4, the manipulator function assigning means may display information for specifying the manipulator to which the selection function is assigned on the screen.

The contents of the buffer in (B) are changed. Therefore, the same value is shared between the parameters displayed on the simple parameter setting screen of FIG. 7 and the parameters displayed on the screens of FIGS. 9 to 11.

Therefore, normally, by operating the switches for setting ON / OFF of various functions to display the simple setting menu icon, and operating the switch to move to the simple parameter setting screen, and edit the parameters here. Good. When it is desired to edit the parameters in more detail, the function menu selection screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, and the parameter setting screen to be edited can be moved from there.

In the above embodiment, only the simple parameter setting screen of the first right keyboard part (RIGHT1) is illustrated, but the tone part on / off switch group and the effect setting relating to the setting of the tone part other than this are set. Various effects On / off switch groups and automatic accompaniment settings related to automatic accompaniment settings Even when switches related to on / off settings of various functions are operated, various types of switches are operated according to the operated settings. It goes without saying that the simple parameter setting screen of is displayed in the same manner.
