Abstract
A control method for a musical instrument, the method comprising calculating a play speed of the musical instrument based on performance information corresponding to a performance operation of the musical instrument, receiving beat count information for identifying a number of beats, and generating control information for controlling a timing of executing a process associated with a loop based on the beat count information and the play speed is provided. A preset process can be automatically executed at a timing according to an instruction input by a user.
Claims16
A control method for a musical instrument, the method comprising:
- calculating a play speed of the musical instrument based on performance information corresponding to a performance operation of the musical instrument;
- receiving beat count information for identifying a number of beats;
- and
- generating control information for controlling a timing of executing a process associated with a loop based on the beat count information and the play speed.
A control device for a musical instrument, the control device comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- a processor that executes the program to:
- calculate a play speed of the musical instrument based on performance information corresponding to a performance operation of the musical instrument;
- receive beat count information for identifying a number of beats;
- and
- generate control information for controlling a timing of executing a process associated with a loop based on the beat count information and the play speed.
A music instrument comprising:
- a string;
- a soundboard that transmits vibration of the string;
- a detector attached to the soundboard to detect an input of an instruction of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to execute a predetermined process at a timing determined based on a timing at which the instruction is received and a set delay time.
