Abstract
The present invention receives sound wave data from a sound inputted into a microphone and samples the sound wave data received using a CPU to obtain sampled data as a digitized tone data, which is then stored in a sampling memory. The CPU performs auto-play of a sound using the digitized tone data sampled by the sampling and stored in the sampling memory. Thus, a result of the sampling is automatically provided to the user after the sampling takes place and the user can intuitively understand what can be done through sampling.
Claims10
A sampling device, comprising:
- a sound wave receiver configured to receive external sound wave data;
- and
- a processor connected to the sound wave receiver, the processor executing:
- sampling the sound wave data received by the sound wave receiver to convert at least a part of the sound wave data to a digitized tone data;
- after the sampling, reading out a play data representing either a rhythm pattern including rhythm pattern data or a musical phrase including both a plurality of pitches and associated duration of the pitches;
- and
- thereafter, playing back the play data that have been read out using the digitized tone data as a tone for either the rhythm pattern or the musical phrase.
A sampling method of a sampling device having a sound wave receiver that receives external sound wave data, the method comprising:
- sampling the sound wave data received by the sound wave receiver to convert at least a part of the sound wave data to a digitized tone data;
- after the sampling, reading out a play data representing either a rhythm pattern including rhythm pattern data or a musical phrase including both a plurality of pitches and associated duration of the pitches;
- and
- thereafter, playing back the play data that have been read out using the digitized tone data as a tone for either the rhythm pattern or the musical phrase.
A non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions executable by a processor in a sampling device equipped with a sound wave receiver that receives external tone data, the instructions causing the processor to perform the following:
- sampling the sound wave data received by the sound wave receiver to convert at least a part of the sound wave data to a digitized tone data;
- after the sampling, reading out a play data representing either a rhythm pattern including rhythm pattern data or a musical phrase including both a plurality of pitches and associated duration of the pitches;
- and
- thereafter, playing back the play data that have been read out using the digitized tone data as a tone for either the rhythm pattern or the musical phrase.
