Sound Control Device, Electronic Musical Instrument, Method of Controlling Sound Control Device, and Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Storage Medium

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

• obtain performance information;
• identify a note-on or a note-off based on the performance information;
• identify, from lyrics data, a syllable corresponding to a timing of identifying of the note-on, the lyrics data including a chronological arrangement of a plurality of syllables to be pronounced;
• and
• cause the identified syllable to start being pronounced at a timing corresponding to the note-on, and cause at least one phoneme among phonemes constituting the identified syllable to start being pronounced at a timing corresponding to the note-off.

A computer-implemented method of controlling a sound control device, the method comprising:

• obtaining performance information;
• identifying a note-on or a note-off based on the performance information;
• identifying, from lyrics data, a syllable corresponding to a timing of identifying of the note-on, the lyrics data including a chronological arrangement of a plurality of syllables to be pronounced;
• and
• causing the identified syllable to start being pronounced at a timing corresponding to the note-on, and causing at least one phoneme among phonemes constituting the identified syllable to start being pronounced at a timing corresponding to the note-off.
