Musical sound data reproduction device and musical sound data reproduction method

A musical sound data reproduction device comprising:

• a performance operator group including:
• a plurality of first and second performance operators respectively corresponding to a plurality of black and white keys arranged in a row;
• and
• a first key region including at least one first performance operator and at least one second performance operator among the plurality of first and second performance operators;
• an allocator configured to allocate musical sound data to the first key region;
• an operation detector configured to detect an operation of each of the plurality of first and second performance operators of the performance operator group;
• and
• a reproduction controller configured to select:
• a first reproduction mode for the allocated musical sound data in response to detection of an operation of one performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region;
• and
• a second reproduction mode for the allocated musical sound data, different from the first reproduction mode, in response to detection of an operation of another performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region,
• wherein the allocated musical sound data includes musical performance data that is reproducible in a loop and includes a rhythm pattern,
• wherein a loop reproduction of the musical performance data in a loop automatically and repetitively reproduces the musical performance data multiple times, and
• wherein at least one of the first reproduction mode or the second reproduction mode includes starting of the loop reproduction or stopping of the loop reproduction.

A musical sound data reproduction method comprising:

• allocating first musical sound data to a first key region including at least one first performance operator and at least one second performance operator in a performance operator group including a plurality of first and second performance operators that respectively correspond to a plurality of black and white keys arranged in a row;
• detecting an operation of each of the plurality of first and second performance operators of the performance operator group;
• selecting a first reproduction mode of the allocated first musical sound data in response to detection of an operation of one performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region;
• and
• selecting a second reproduction mode of the allocated first musical sound data different from the first control in response to detection of an operation of another performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region,
• wherein the allocated first musical sound data includes musical performance data that is reproducible in a loop and includes a rhythm pattern,
• wherein a loop reproduction of the musical performance data in a loop automatically and repetitively reproduces the musical performance data multiple times, and
• wherein at least one of the first reproduction mode or the second reproduction mode includes starting of the loop reproduction or stopping of the loop reproduction.

A musical sound data reproduction method comprising:

• allocating musical sound data to a first key region including at least one first performance operator and at least one second performance operator in a performance operator group including a plurality of first and second performance operators that respectively correspond to a plurality of black and white keys arranged in a row;
• detecting an operation of each of the plurality of first and second performance operators of the performance operator group;
• selecting a first reproduction mode of the allocated musical sound data in response to detection of an operation of one performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region;
• and
• selecting a second reproduction mode of the allocated musical sound data different from the first control in response to detection of an operation of another performance operator among the first and second performance operators in the first key region,
• wherein the allocated musical sound data includes musical performance data that is reproducible in a loop,
• wherein each of the first and second reproduction modes includes any one of:
• starting of a loop reproduction of the musical performance data;
• starting of a one-time reproduction of the musical sound data;
• stopping of the loop reproduction of the musical performance data;
• or
• stopping of the one-time reproduction of the musical sound data;
• determining whether the allocated musical sound data allocated to the first key region is reproducible on a loop,
• wherein each of the first and second performance operators of the first region is switchable between an ON state and an OFF state by an operation thereof, and
• wherein the selecting of the first reproduction mode selects the first reproduction mode based on a result of the determination and a changing state of the one performance operator, and
• wherein the selecting of the second reproduction mode selects the second reproduction mode based on a result of the determination and a changing state of the another performance operator.
