Prior to the description of the present invention, it will be described first with respect to the virtual instrument for variation necessary for the implementation of the present invention. Also, among the various variations of virtual instruments, the variation virtual guitar will be taken as an example to help understand the virtual instrument for variation.

Variation virtual guitar implemented on the mobile information device is basically divided into a swivel portion 22 by the left hand and a swivel portion 23 by the right hand on the touch screen 21, as shown in the figure The housewife 22 is provided with one row of strings 24 and frets 25, and the right hand variation portion 23 is provided with one row of strings 27 and six-row strings 28. Of the areas divided by the frets 25, the reference area is the area in which the reference area display 26 is located.

The variational virtual guitar loads not only music data that can be read by a computer program, but also plays the music data, and modulates the sound according to the player's performance. .

The playing operation consists of a left hand and a right hand. If the reference area is held down with the left hand among the areas divided by the frets 25, the performance is set as the note of the current playing time set on the song data, and the frets 25 are set. Each time you pass the higher notes one semitone higher than the current note set on the song data, and every time you pass fret 25 one by one toward the lower note one semitone higher than the note currently set on the song data Go down. Then, when the string 27 is played with the right hand, the sound modulated by the playing action by the left hand is output. In the song data, chords are set for the entire playing process, and the notes that make up the chord corresponding to the current playing time can be played by striking each string.

Select one of several song data by executing the virtual guitar for variation, and when the selected song data starts playing, convert the sound on the song data to sound according to the chord signal of the right hand and output it according to the modulated signal of the left hand. The sound is modulated into a sound with an effect corresponding to the technique and is output.

2 is a view showing the principle of the variation virtual guitar.

The picture at the top is the score on the song data. If you play a chord that matches the score without a left-handed modulated signal, your playing sound is output as the score.

If the chord is inputted like the second figure, and the modulated signal by the left hand is inputted with the lowered signal when the second note of the later measure is played, the output sound is , Like the sheet music at the bottom. In the second figure, the chord signal a becomes the output signal c in the last figure, because when the chord signal of a occurs, the playing sound at that point was the sole, and in the second figure, the second chord occurred with the right hand. Since the modulation b of the left hand occurred only after the repetition at, the controller outputs a wave by lowering one note of the current sound. The performer performed a sliding pretending like a real guitar playing technique, and the output also reflected the sliding effect.

For this principle, the virtual guitar for variation is to output the performance signal on the song data as a variation of the sound according to the player's variation signal.

In the virtual guitar for variation, the final modulated sound must be given as a guitar sound, so the guitar sound sample stored in the memory is modulated and output. The guitar sound sample consists of six sound samples corresponding to the six open strings of the guitar, and modulates the pitch of each sound sample to give a modulated pitch.

3 is an example of a variation dedicated guitar.

Variation virtual guitar described above may be manufactured with a dedicated equipment, Figure 3 is an embodiment.

The above description will be made of the virtual instrument for variation, and now the description of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Variable music record according to the present invention, when recording a performance to record for each instrument part and store it in a different channel, the instrument sound (in the case of the other six lines of open string sound) data used for each instrument part separately stored It is produced by storing the music data divided by each instrument part separately.

In this case, the instrument sound data may be an actual recorded audio signal, or may be selection information or effect processing information for a sound embedded in the variation player described below. That is, it may be data that defines what effect should be applied at what time to the sound embedded in the variation player.

In the figure, there is music data recorded for each performance part, musical instrument sound data for each performance part, and musical score data for each performance part. When the music data for each playing part is played back together at once, the completed music is output like the existing music record.

As described above, the music records described above may be sold by storing several music records in one album.

Now, the variation player that enables variation using these music records will be described.

Variation player according to the present invention is provided with a control unit for receiving a signal for varying the instrument, can read and play the music record, and mute the sound of the particular instrument part recorded in the music record, instead of the score data Modulating a sound corresponding to the specific musical instrument part among musical instrument sound data stored in the music record according to the variation operation signal from the operation unit based on the pitch of the current playing time of the specific musical instrument part set in the Different channels are mixed with the played sound and output together.

At this time, if the instrument sound data is not the actual recorded voice data but data for effect processing on the sound embedded in the variation player, the embedded sound is effected as specified by the instrument sound data. For example, in the case of the guitar sound, whether to use the acoustic sound, electromagnetic guitar sound, or how much the distortion is reduced.
