Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a display that has a touch panel; a controller that displays on the display at least a portion of a predetermined object display area and an object that is at a determined position in the object display area; and a vibrator that performs a vibration operation to vibrate an operation surface of the touch panel. The controller controls the vibration operation by the vibrator. In response to a drag operation on the operation surface of the touch panel, the controller moves the object that is displayed on the display, and causes the vibrator to perform the vibration operation in a vibration mode depending on a moving amount of the object in response to the drag operation or depending on a position in the object display area of the object that is moved in response to the drag operation.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an arpeggiator enabling musically natural arpeggio playing to be achieved, and a program comprising a function therefor. [Solution] In the present invention, a synthesizer 1 resets the number of octaves in an octave counter memory 12d to zero at the beginning of each bar when an octave reset function is on. Due to this configuration, sounds generated at the beginning of each bar, that is, when the step count is 0, all have the same note number. Consequently, a sound generation timing-based cycle of an arpeggio pattern of each bar can be synchronized with a pitch variation-based cycle, making it possible to give a listener the impression that a consistent phrase is being played.

Abstract: An electronic device and a data usage method are provided. An electronic musical instrument confirms whether respective sound data stored in a timbre memory or a wave memory can be used or cannot be used based on management information acquired from a server. A sound data determined to be usable in the management information is validated so that it can be used for loading or writing. On the other hand, a sound data determined to be unusable in the management information is invalidated so that it cannot be used.

Abstract: An electronic device, a data usage method, and an electronic device program are provided. In an electronic musical instrument, in a case where a livelock flag has been turned on by an operation on a setting key by a user, a sound data is validated or invalidated according to a usable or unusable state of the sound data stored in a content state table immediately before the livelock flag has been turned on.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an arpeggiator capable of creating a rich arpeggio performance that includes multiple pieces of performance information, and a program equipped with a function therefor. [Solution] When the key press mode for a sounding part is a chord, a synthesizer 1 acquires all note numbers from a remain table for the sounding part in a setting table 11e and stores all the note numbers in an Arp note memory 12b. This allows all the notes corresponding to the note numbers set in the remain table to be concurrently generated at the sounding time set in an Arp pattern. That is, an expressive arpeggio based on a chord made up of all the notes corresponding to the note numbers set in the remain table can be produced.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an arpeggiator capable of suppressing sound muddiness caused by simultaneous production of sounds in a multi-arpeggiator capable of automatically playing arpeggios in a plurality of performance parts, and a program provided with the function of the arpeggiator. [Solution] A synthesizer 1 decreases velocity in velocity memory 12c in accordance with a duck rate when the time of sound production for a sound production part is the same as the time of sound production for a duck part, and at that time of sound production, a note number of the duck part is the same as a note number of a duck note. This makes it possible to suppress muddiness of output sound, since an increase in output level is suppressed even when a plurality parts produce sound at the same time.

Abstract: In a synthesizer 1, the highest note number is set from the allowed Oct width and the lowest note number of a sound production part in a setting table 11e, and if the note number of an Arp note memory 12b is not between the lowest note number and the highest note number, the note number of one octave unit is added to or subtracted from the note number of the Arp note memory 12b. Consequently, the note number of the Arp note memory 12b is corrected to the pitch range between the lowest note number and the highest note number, and thus can be corrected to the sound production pitch range of the timbre of the sound production part, and arpeggios can be outputted using sounds that are more appropriate for an instrument of said timbre.
