Sound control device, control method and program thereof

A method of controlling a sound control device, wherein

• the sound control device includes a plurality of setting interfaces each including a parameter operator configured to set a sound parameter corresponding to a set timbre, and a communication interface configured to perform message transmission and reception with an external MIDI sound source, the message being a control change message of an MIDI standard,
• the method comprises:
• generating the control change message in response to an operation on the parameter operators of the plurality of setting interfaces;
• designating validity or invalidity of generating a sound signal for each of the plurality of setting interfaces based on a user operation;
• selecting one of a plurality of control modes of the communication interface based on the user operation;
• and
• controlling such that, when a first mode among the plurality of control modes is selected:
• the control change message generated for a setting interface which is designated as valid among the plurality of setting interfaces is not transmitted through the communication interface;
• and
• the control change message generated for a setting interface which is designated as invalid among the plurality of setting interfaces is transmitted through the communication interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which a program is stored, the program configured to execute, on a computer, a method of controlling a sound control device, wherein

• the sound control device includes a plurality of setting interfaces each including a parameter operator configured to set a sound parameter corresponding to a set timbre, and a communication interface configured to perform message transmission and reception with an external MIDI sound source, the message being a control change message of an MIDI standard,
• the method of controlling the sound control device includes:
• generating the control change message in response to an operation on the parameter operators of the plurality of setting interfaces;
• designating validity or invalidity of generating a sound signal for each of the plurality of setting interfaces based on a user operation;
• selecting one of a plurality of control modes of the communication interface based on the user operation;
• and
• controlling such that, when a first mode among the plurality of control modes is selected:
• the control change message generated for a setting interface which is designated as valid among the plurality of setting interfaces is not transmitted through the communication interface;
• and
• the control change message generated for a setting interface which is designated as invalid among the plurality of setting interfaces is transmitted through the communication interface.
