Musical composition data editing apparatus, musical composition data distributing apparatus, and program for implementing musical composition data editing method

A musical composition data distributing apparatus for distributing musical composition data in a predetermined instrument and performance control format to at least one performing apparatus, comprising:

• a control code deleting device that is operable when at least one of musical control code is contained in source musical composition data, for deleting at least one of the musical control codes from the source musical composition data to generate musical composition data in said predetermined format;
• and
• a distributing device that distributes the musical composition data to the performing apparatus,
• wherein the performing apparatus comprises a musical tone generating device that receives the musical composition data from said musical composition data distributing device, edits the received musical composition data, and generates musical tones based on the edited musical composition data, and at least one operating terminal carriable by an operator, that generates information for controlling editing of the musical composition data by said musical tone generating device;
• said operating terminal having a transmitting section that is operable during the editing of the musical composition data to detect motion of said operating terminal caused by an operation of the operator, generate motion information based on the detected motion, and transmit the motion information to said musical tone generating device;
• and
• said musical tone generating device having an imparting section that parses the generated motion information into different types of motions and maps those different types of motions onto different musical control codes, the imparting section being further operative to newly generate musical control codes based on the motion information received from said operating terminal and according to the motion type-control code mapping, and imparts the generated musical control codes to the musical composition data.

A musical composition data distributing apparatus for distributing musical composition data in a predetermined instrument and performance control format to at least one performing apparatus, comprising:

• a control code rewriting device that is operable when at least one of musical composition reproduction control codes for controlling musical composition reproduction and acoustic control codes for controlling effects is contained in source musical composition data and at least one of imaging and effects in the musical composition reproduction changes, for carrying out rewriting of at least one of the musical composition reproduction control codes and the acoustic control codes such that at least one of a musical composition reproduction state and the effects become constant, to generate musical composition data in said predetermined format;
• and
• a distributing device that distributes the musical composition data to the performing apparatus,
• wherein the performing apparatus comprises a musical tone generating device that receives the musical composition data from said musical composition data distributing device, edits the received musical composition data, and generates musical tones based on the edited musical composition data, and at least one operating terminal carriable by an operator, that generates information for controlling editing of the musical composition data by said musical tone generating device;
• said operating terminal having a transmitting section that is operable during the editing of the musical composition data to detect motion of said operating terminal caused by an operation of the operator, generate motion information based on the detected motion, and transmit the motion information to said musical tone generating device;
• and
• said musical tone generating device having a rewriting section that parses the generated motion information into different types of motions and maps those different types of motions onto different musical control codes, the rewriting section being further operative to newly generate musical control codes based on the motion information received from the operating terminal, according to the motion type-control code mapping, and to replace the newly generated musical control codes for existing musical control codes contained in the musical composition data to be the newly generated musical control codes.
