Abstract
This electronic musical instrument main body device comprises an information acquisition unit and a port assignment unit. The information acquisition unit acquires, from a playing operation device connected to one connection terminal, information related to the playing operation device. The port assignment unit assigns, to the playing operation device, a virtual input port of a type corresponding to the information related to the playing operation device and acquired by the information acquisition unit.
Claims20
A sound source device for an electronic musical instrument connected to a playing operation device outputting playing information, the sound source device for the electronic musical instrument comprising:
- at least one first kind of connection terminal configuring to be capable of being connected with any one of a plurality types of first playing operation devices;
- a plurality of virtual input ports being separately from the first kind of connection terminal and provided for different types of the first playing operation devices;
- a tone assigning unit that assigns a tone of a sound to each of the virtual input ports;
- a port assigning unit that assigns, to one of the first playing operation devices which is connected to the first kind of connection terminal, one of the virtual input ports corresponding to a type of the one of the first playing operation devices;
- and
- a musical sound generating unit that generates a musical sound signal of the tone assigned to the one of the virtual input ports assigned to the one of the first playing operation devices on the basis of a first playing information outputted from the one of the first playing operation devices connected to the first kind of connection terminal.
A musical sound generating method, generating a musical sound in a sound source device for an electronic musical instrument connected to a playing operation device outputting playing information, the musical sound generating method comprising:
- providing at least one first kind of connection terminal configuring to be capable of being connected with any one of a plurality types of first playing operation devices;
- providing a plurality of virtual input ports being separately from the first kind of connection terminal and for different types of the first playing operation devices;
- assigning a tone of a sound to each of the virtual input ports;
- assigning, to one of the first playing operation devices which is connected to the first kind of connection terminal, one of the virtual input ports corresponding to a type of the one of the first playing operation devices;
- and
- generating a musical sound signal of the tone assigned to the one of the virtual input ports assigned to the one of the first playing operation devices on the basis of a first playing information outputted from the one of the first playing operation devices connected to the first kind of connection terminal.
An electronic musical instrument system comprising:
- a playing operation device that generates a playing information;
- and
- a sound source device for an electronic musical instrument to which the playing operation device is connected,
