Abstract: Performance interface system includes a motion detector provided for movement with a performer, and a control system for receiving detection data transmitted from the motion detector and controlling a performance of a tone in response to the received detection data. State of a performer's motion is detected via a sensor of the motion detector, and detection data representative of the detected motion state is transmitted to the control system. The control system receives the detection data from the motion detector, analyzes the performer's motion on the basis of the detection data, and then controls a tone performance in accordance with the analyzed data. With this arrangement, the performer can readily take part in the tone performance in the control system.

Abstract: An ensemble system enabling easy, flexible assignment of performance parts to the facilitator and the performers. In “setting” field, performance terminals (facilitator and piano (1 to 5)) are displayed. A pull-down menu for selecting presence/absence of each performance terminal and radio buttons for assigning performance parts are displayed. According to the presence/absence of each student, the selection of a presence/absence menu is inputted. When song title data is selected, a controller (1) reads a part assignment table of the song data and assigns a performance part to each performance terminal for which presence is selected. A performance part can be manually assigned to each performance terminal.

Abstract: An electronic musical instrument is provided, which makes it possible to manage a state of attendance (presence/absence, etc.) of participants and perform easy management on the level of activity on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. According to performance operations on performance terminals 2, a controller 1 records a performance history. Performance terminals 2 to which performance parts have been assigned by a Facilitator are determined as being present, whereas performance terminal 2 to which no performance parts have been assigned are determined as being absent. The number of times of key depression on each performance terminal 2, the average key depression intensity (average Velocity), etc. from start to end of a performance are recorded. The recorded values for respective items are output in the form of text data. Since values for the respective item are recorded at every performance, the frequency of attendance of respective users can easily be managed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Abstract: An ensemble system enabling even performer unskilled in playing a musical instrument to easily grasp the difference in tempo from the performance of the facilitator. The circle corresponding to the performance terminal “Facilitator” is indicated fixedly on the center line of the vertical lines. The circle corresponding to the performance terminal (for example, piano (1)) of each user moves horizontally correspondingly to the difference from the performance terminal “Facilitator”. If the press of a key of performance terminal lags behind that of the performance terminal “Facilitator” by one bar, the circle moves left onto the vertical line next to the vertical center line. If the press of a key of the performance terminal lags behind that of the performance terminal “Facilitator” by half the bar (two beats), the circle moves left by half the interval between the vertical lines from the vertical center line.

Abstract: A musical performance processing apparatus that provides better assistance for student's practice. The apparatus includes a main unit in which music data including performance information of right- and left hand parts is stored, and a performance terminal having a keyboard divided into two key ranges by a split point. Each key range is set as a tapping or normal performance key range. The main unit generates a musical tone when input with performance information generated by depression of a key in the normal performance key range, and automatically reproduces performance information of designated part of music data for the number of beats corresponding to key depression, when input with performance information generated by depression of a key in the tapping performance key range. Sounding is stopped, if there is a deviation between a tempo of teacher's tapping performance and timing of student's performance.

Abstract: A performance control apparatus which can reflect operations carried out by a user on variations in dynamics in real time to achieve performance expressions such as crescendo and decrescendo. A keyboard generates performance timing information in response to performance operations by a user, and performance intensity information. An HDD stores data of a music piece. The data of the music piece is read out from the HDD at a tempo based on the performance timing, and sounding instruction data including information on intensities and volumes of musical tones is generated. If the performance timing coincides with timing in which note information on a musical tone is read out, the sounding instruction data on the musical tone is determined based on the performance intensity information and the volume and intensity of the musical tone included in the read note information.
