  • Publication number: 20250078792
    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument includes a plurality of performance operating elements, a storage unit configured to store performance data corresponding to a performance operation of a user each time the user operates any one of the plurality of performance operating elements, and at least one processor. In a first operation state, in a case where any one of the plurality of performance operating elements is operated by the user, the at least one processor starts an output of the performance data from a reproduction start position of the performance data in the storage unit, the reproduction start position corresponding to the operated performance operating element.

  • Publication number: 20250078791
    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument includes a performance operating element, a storage unit configured to store performance data corresponding to an operation each time a user operates the performance operating element, and at least one processor. The at least one processor executes, in a first period, processing of storing the performance data in the storage unit in response to the operation of the user on the performance operating element in a case of being in a recording state. The at least one processor executes, in a second period longer than the first period, processing of outputting the performance data stored in the storage unit in a case of being in a reproduction state.

  • Publication number: 20250078793
    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument includes a performance operating element, a second operating element configured to add an acoustic effect or change setting information including a tone, a storage unit including a first storage area that stores first performance data corresponding to an operation on the performance operating element and second performance data corresponding to an operation on the second operating element, and a second storage area that stores the second performance data, and at least one processor. The at least one processor stores, in a case where the second performance data stored in the first storage area is overwritten in a recording state, the overwritten second performance data in the second storage area, and instructs to generate a musical sound based on the first performance data stored in the first storage area and the second performance data stored in the second storage area in a reproduction state.

  • Patent number: 8970854
    Abstract: A document management system includes a storage section, a reference electronic manuscript acquisition section, an edit part identification section and a document editing processing section. The storage section stores at least one of an electronic manuscript and an electronic document generated by combining plural electronic manuscripts. The reference electronic manuscript acquisition section acquires a reference electronic manuscript used for identifying a reference position of an edit part in an edit electronic document that is an electronic document to be edited and is read from the storage section. The edit part identification section identifies the edit part in the edit electronic document based on the reference electronic manuscript. The document editing processing section performs editing processing for the edit part identified by the edit part identification section, in units of electronic manuscripts.

  • Patent number: 6010406
    Abstract: A game machine operation device wherein a first grip section and a second grip section have their outer sides curved into the shape of an arc, with the curved surfaces serving as guide sections along which the operator can move his palms. Therefore, the operator is capable of placing his hands or fingers used for operating the device in a comfortable position on the first and second grip sections and freely move his hands or fingers along the curved surfaces. In conventional game machine operation devices, the grip sections are formed so as to extend vertically downward, which prevents the operator from changing the position of his hands, depending on his hand size, so that an operator with large hands cannot operate the operation device easily, causing him to get tired hands or fingers.

  • Patent number: 5973797
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus in which a structure is simple and in which the size of a document can be detected in a short time, wherein the levels of signals, which are outputted from photoelectric elements within a plurality of sensing regions on a light-receiving portion of a line sensor correspond to a pair of nearby regions (#1 and #2, #3 and #4, #5 and #6, and #7 and #8) which hold each edge (e.g., edges 64A, 64B, 64C in FIG. 5) of the plurality of documents of different sizes disposed on a platen glass, are compared to a threshold value, or alternatively, the change in the levels of signals which are outputted from the photoelectric elements within a plurality of sensing regions (e.g., #1, #2 and #3 in FIG. 11) continuously cross each edge of the plurality documents of different sizes is obtained in order to determine the size of the document.
