  • Publication number: 20220084490
    Abstract: There are provided an electronic musical apparatus, a storage medium storing a recording/reproduction program, and a recording/reproduction method capable of outputting a musical sound phrase and a rhythm phrase after the input musical sound phrase is output. In a case where a recording button is operated, a looper starts to record musical sounds. In this case, the musical sounds (that is, a musical sound phrase) that are being recorded are output from a speaker. Thereafter, in a case where a loop reproduction button is operated, the recording is stopped, and loop reproduction of the recorded musical sound phrase and a rhythm phrase is started. Consequently, it is possible to output musical sounds in which the musical sound phrase and the rhythm phrase are loop-reproduced after the input musical sound phrase is output.

  • Patent number: 10937447
    Abstract: A harmony generation device and a program for the same which can generate a natural harmony sound are provided. The harmony generation device (1) generates first and second harmony tones to which a voice input through a microphone (M) is shifted in pitch by first and second shift amounts calculated based on both the voice input through the microphone (M) and a chord determined from performance information of an electric guitar (G) input through an input device (34). That is, since the first and second harmony tones can be tones based on the chord of the electric guitar (G) that changes from moment to moment, the harmony sound obtained by mixing the first and second harmony tones with the voice input through the microphone (M) can be a natural harmony sound that is rich in variation according to the chord of the electric guitar (G).
