Abstract
A plurality of areas are set on an image displayed on a display screen, and a plurality of performance indexes, each of which indicates a range of each of the areas, are displayed. An area designated by an operation input is detected, and sound output information is generated when an operation input, which designates one of the areas, and then further designates another area other than the designated area, is detected. Thereafter, a sound is outputted from a speaker in accordance with the sound output information.
Claims13
A storage medium storing a sound processing program which causes a sound processing apparatus to function as a music playing apparatus, the sound processing apparatus to be operated in accordance with an operation input received from an input device operated by a player, the sound processing program instructing a computer of the sound processing apparatus to perform:
- an area setting step of setting a plurality of areas on an image displayed on a display screen;
- a performance index display controlling step of displaying performance indexes, stored in a memory, each of which indicates a range of each of the plurality of areas on the display screen;
- an operation history storing step of storing a history of an operation input received from the input device in the memory;
- an area detecting step of detecting one of the areas designated in accordance with the operation input;
- a sound output information generating step of generating sound output information when, in the area detecting step, the operation input, which designates the one of the areas, and further designates an area other than the area having been designated, is detected based on the history of the operation input;
- and
- a sound output controlling step of outputting a sound from a speaker in accordance with the sound output information.
