Abstract
An electronic wind instrument and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic wind instrument includes an acquisition unit which acquires an operation performed on a playing operator, a breathing detection unit which detects breathing, and a control unit which generates a musical sound signal on the basis of at least one of the breathing that has been detected and the operation acquired by the acquisition unit, in which the control unit switches a first mode for generating a musical sound signal with a detection of the breathing as a condition and a second mode for generating the musical sound signal on the basis of the operation regardless of whether or not the breathing has been detected, on the basis of a detection result of the breathing.
Claims17
An electronic wind instrument comprising:
- an acquisition unit which acquires an operation performed on a playing operator;
- a breathing detection unit which detects breathing;
- and
- a control unit which generates a musical sound signal on a basis of at least one of the breathing that has been detected and the operation acquired by the acquisition unit,
- wherein the control unit switches to a first mode and a second mode on a basis of a detection result of the breathing, the first mode is for generating the musical sound signal with a detection of the breathing as a condition and the second mode is for generating the musical sound signal on a basis of the operation.
An electronic wind instrument control method, wherein the electronic wind instrument comprises a playing operator and a breathing sensor,
- the electronic wind instrument control method comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring an operation performed on the playing operator;
- a breathing detection step of detecting breathing;
- and
- a control step of generating a musical sound signal on a basis of at least one of the breathing that has been detected and the operation acquired in the acquisition step,
- wherein in the control step, a first mode and a second mode are switched on a basis of a detection result of the breathing, the first mode is for generating the musical sound signal with a detection of the breathing as a condition and the second mode is for generating the musical sound signal on a basis of the operation.
An electronic wind instrument control method which is a method of controlling an electronic wind instrument that generates a musical sound signal on a basis of a detection result of breathing and an operation of a playing operator, the electronic wind instrument control method comprises:
- switching a generation mode of the musical sound signal of the electronic wind instrument based on the detection result of the breathing, and generating a musical sound signal on a basis of the operation of the playing operator.
