Tone and picture generator device

A tone and picture generating method comprising the steps of:

• providing performance information;
• generating a tone on the basis of said performance information;
• storing a plurality of motion components each including motion information representative of a trajectory of performance motions corresponding to a performance pattern;
• on the basis of the provided performance information, reading out one of the stored motion components corresponding to the provided performance information;
• and
• in synchronism with the provided performance information, and on the basis of the read out motion component, generating picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the performance information.

A machine-readable recording medium containing a group of instructions of a tone and picture generating method to be executed by a processor, said method comprising the steps of:

• receiving performance information;
• generating a tone on the basis of said performance information received by the step of receiving;
• storing a plurality of motion components each including motion information representative of a trajectory of performance motions corresponding to a performance pattern;
• on the basis of the received performance information, reading out one of the stored motion components corresponding to the received performance information;
• and
• in synchronism with said performance information received by the step of receiving, and on the basis of the read out motion component, generating picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the received performance information.
