Abstract
The invention provides a performance recording/reproducing apparatus including a playing information recording device, a data discrimination device and a data transfer device. The data discrimination device discriminates a specific channel of playing data, which needs correction or modification from the others all merged on one of the tracks of the playing information recording device. The data transfer device transfers data of the specific channel to another track. The apparatus thus efficiently corrects or modifies only data of the specific channel and accordingly completes recording of performance in a short while.
Claims20
A performance recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and editing plural channels of playing information for electronic instruments, comprising:
- recording means for recording playing information as event data on at least a record track and a merge track, where the merge track contains plural channels of event data;
- reproducing means for reproducing the event data stored in the recording means;
- discrimination means for discriminating a channel contained on the merge track from other channels stored on the merge track;
- data transfer means for transferring the discriminated channel from the merge track to the record track;
- editing means for editing the event data of a specific channel on the record track, the specific channel event data being transferred to the record track by the data transfer means;
- and
- merging means for merging the specific channel edited by the editing means with a channel on the merge track.
A performance recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and editing plural channels of playing information for electronic instruments, comprising:
- recording means for recording playing information as event data on at least a record track and a merge track, where the merge track contains plural channels of event data and each channel of event data comprises code data for identifying the channel;
- reproducing means for reproducing the event data stored in the recording means;
- and
- editing means for discriminating a given channel contained on the merge track from other channels stored on the merge track by determining which of the plural channels of event data stored on the merge track contains the code data for the given channel and for transferring the event data having the code data for the given channel from the merge track to the record track.
A performance recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and editing plural channels of playing information for electronic instruments, comprising:
- input means for receiving playing information represented by event data from one or more electronic instruments;
- recording means for storing the event data on at least a record track and a merge track, where the merge track contains plural channels of event data and each channel of event data comprises code data for identifying the channel;
- reproducing means for reproducing the event data stored in the recording means;
- output means for sending the event data at least one electronic instrument, where the at least one electronic instrument generates sound from the event data;
- and
- editing means for discriminating a given channel contained on the merge track from other channels stored on the merge track by determining which of the plural channels of event data stored on the merge track contains the code data for the given channel and for transferring the event data having the code data for the given channel from the merge track to the record track.
