Abstract
An electronic musical instrument according to one embodiment includes: a sound source configured to generate a first sound signal and a second sound signal in accordance with an instruction signal for instructing to produce a sound; a first output unit configured to output a third sound signal containing the first sound signal and the second sound signal at a first sound volume ratio; and a second output unit configured to output a fourth sound signal containing the first sound signal and the second sound signal at a second sound volume ratio that is different from the first sound volume ratio.
Claims23
An electronic musical instrument comprising:
- a sound source configured to generate a first sound signal and a second sound signal in accordance with an instruction signal;
- a first output unit configured to output a third sound signal containing the first sound signal and the second sound signal at a first sound volume ratio;
- and
- a second output unit configured to output a fourth sound signal containing the first sound signal and the second sound signal at a second sound volume ratio that is different from the first sound volume ratio,
- wherein the first sound signal corresponds to a string striking sound, and the second sound signal corresponds to a keybed hitting sound, and
- wherein the first output unit is configured not to output the third sound signal while the second output unit outputs the fourth sound signal.

- and
- a second output unit configured to output a fourth sound signal containing the first sound signal and the second sound signal at a second sound volume ratio that is different from the first sound volume ratio,
- wherein:
- the instruction signal contains pitch information for designating a pitch of a sound to be produced,
- in a case where the pitch information has changed from a first pitch to a second pitch that is different from the first pitch, the sound source is configured to effect a change in a pitch of the first sound signal in correspondence with a pitch difference between the first pitch and the second pitch and to either not effect a change in a pitch of the second sound signal or effect the change in the pitch of the second sound signal in correspondence with a pitch difference that is less than the change in the pitch of the first sound signal, and
- a proportion of the second sound signal to the first sound signal at the second sound volume ratio is larger than the proportion of the second sound signal to the first sound signal at the first sound volume ratio.
