Abstract
A unique note length is allocated to each of a plurality of operating positions provided on a ribbon controller. In response to a position-selecting operation by a human operator, time data is generated which is representative of the note length allocated to the selected operating position. An automatic drum roll performance is executed by repetitively generating a drum sound with a note length represented by the thus-generated time data.
Claims11
A sound performance device comprising:
- a performance operator unit having a plurality of operating positions to each of which is allocated a unique unit time, said performance operator unit, in response to selection of any one of the operating positions by a human operator, generating time data representative of the unit time allocated to the one operating position;
- and
- a control unit that executes control to repetitively generate a sound of a given tone color at intervals of the unit time represented by the time data generated by said performance operator unit.
A method of automatically executing a drum roll performance comprising the steps of:
- providing a performance operator unit having a plurality of operating positions to each of which is allocated a unique unit time;
- in response to selection of any one of the operating positions by a human operator, generating time data representative of the unit time allocated to the one operating position;
- and
- repetitively generating sound-generation instructing information of a given drum tone color at intervals of the unit time represented by the time data generated by said performance operator unit to thereby execute a drum roll.
A machine-readable recording medium containing a program for automatically executing a drum roll performance by use of a performance operator unit having a plurality of operating positions to each of which is allocated a unique unit time, said program comprising the steps of:
- in response to selection of any one of the operating positions by a human operator, generating time data representative of the unit time allocated to the one operating position;
- and
- repetitively generating sound-generation instructing information of the given drum tone color at intervals of the unit time represented by the time data generated by said performance operator unit.
