Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To unify editing functions for MIDI(musical instrument digital interface) data and to adapt to many kinds of service based upon them by making it possible to take MIDI data as image data even if a communication terminal at a transmission destination does not have the MIDI data receiving function. SOLUTION: When respective data are received, registration codes are added to the respective data, which are registered in a data management part (S1). Registration information on received image data, speech messages, and MIDI data is set in the data management part and the respective data are stored in a storage part (S2). When the registration information can be reported to transmission-source facsimile at the time of data reception, the registration data on the image data, speech messages, and MIDI data is edited by a speech data editing part, an image editing part, and a MIDI data editing part and reported to the transmission source (S4), and the reception is ended (S5). If registration information can not be reported to image data, speech messages, and MIDI data that are received during one communication (S6), the said edited registration information is reported (S7) to the transmission source after the communication end.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present specification, a "voice message" refers to 1. data obtained by directly receiving and storing voice, 2. voice data converted from code data and the like.
“Registration information” refers to information that is registered and managed when each data is transmitted and received. What is "MIDI"? Musical Instrume
nt Digital Interface, an interface for connecting devices to each other. For example, this MI
It is possible to send performance data on one side via the MIDI interface and play the other instrument by means of a musical instrument connected by the DI interface.
"MIDI data" is data based on the MIDI standard. "Communication MIDI data" means MI
The DI data is converted into data to be transmitted by a predetermined facsimile communication.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the types of the above MIDI messages, and the MIDI messages are roughly classified into two. One is a "channel message" for controlling each device. This includes "voice messages" for general performance information such as note-on and note-off, and "mode messages" for information that determines the operation of musical instruments such as monophonic / polyphonic.
Hits. The other is a "system message" for controlling the entire MIDI system. This includes "common messages" and "real-time messages" that are information for synchronization of sequencers and rhythm machines, and information unique to each device (timbre data, etc.) whose formats cannot be unified. "Exclusive message" etc. hit.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the exclusive message. The exclusive message is standardized as a message for sending data unique to the manufacturer. It is possible to send data that cannot be unified such as tone color data and sequencer dump data for each manufacturer. Recently, it has become possible to share data, which is originally incompatible with other manufacturers, to some extent by a method such as conversion. This also made it possible to send data to a computer and edit the data on the computer side. This message has a form in which arbitrary data is sandwiched between the status "F0" and the end of exclusive "F7". The first byte after "F0" is the manufacturer ID (ID
Is 0, it is an extended 3-byte ID).

With the recent spread of MIDI,
Recommend to flexibly support the applied usage
Practice was introduced. Standard MID in it
The I file (hereinafter referred to as SMF) will be briefly described. 14 and 15 are diagrams for explaining a standard MIDI file. The SMF is a unified standard of the data format of the sequencer, and the purpose is to make performance data compatible and mutually use the data. The SMF is composed of several blocks. This is called a "chunk". Chunks are divided into header chunks and track chunks. SMF is header
It starts with a chunk, followed by several track chunks. The header chunk is header information unique to the file, and the track chunk is performance data for each track.

Chunks are distinguished by the first 4 bytes,
“MThd” is a header chunk, and “MTrk” is a track chunk. The next 4 bytes represent the data size, and the data of each chunk is stored after that. The data of the header chunk is a chunk type, data length, format, the number of tracks following this, and a division. The data length is the number of bytes of the following data.

Currently, three types of formats are defined, FORMAT 0: a file composed of 1 track FORMAT 1: a file composed of multi-tracks FORMAT 2: a file containing pattern tracks. The division is composed of 2 bytes, and when the most significant bit 15 is "0", it represents the resolution of quarter note, and when it is "1", it is the number of frames per second corresponding to SMPTE or MTC.

At least one track chunk must be present. There are three types of events stored here: -MIDI event: Channel message with time information added-System exclusive message: Exclusive message data-Meta event: Information other than channel message ( Text data such as titles and memos) is shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 shows an example of data for sending data such as a registration code to MIDI data according to the present invention. This is an example of storing data in an exclusive message. It is possible to send it. It is also possible to store SMF data as meta event data in a text or sequencer-specific meta event and send it.
