A setting operator 2 including an encoder, a detection circuit 3 that detects an operation state of the performance operator 1, a detection circuit 4 that detects an operation state of the setting operator 2, a CPU 5 that controls the entire apparatus, and the CPU 5 ROM 6 for storing control programs executed by the computer, various table data, RAM 7 for temporarily storing performance information, various input information, calculation results, etc., and timer 8 for measuring interrupt times and various times in timer interrupt processing. Display various information, for example, a display 9 having a small liquid crystal display (LCD) and a light emitting diode (LED), and the control program A storage device 10 for storing various application programs, various music data, various data, etc., and a MIDI interface (I / F) for inputting MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) messages from the outside and outputting MIDI messages to the outside ) 11, a communication interface (I / F) 12 for transmitting / receiving data to / from a server computer (hereinafter abbreviated as “server”) 102, and the performance operator 1 via the communication network 101. A sound source circuit 13 that converts performance information, performance information obtained by reproducing any of the music data stored in the storage device 10 into a musical sound signal, and various effects on the musical sound signal from the sound source circuit 13 An effect circuit 14 for imparting, and converting a musical sound signal from the effect circuit 14 into sound; , DAC (digital-to-analog converter), amplifiers is constituted by the sound system 15, such as a speaker.

  The above components 3 to 14 are connected to each other via a bus 16, a timer 8 is connected to the CPU 5, another MIDI device 100 is connected to the MIDII / F 11, and a communication network 101 is connected to the communication I / F 12. Is connected to the sound source circuit 13, and the sound circuit 15 is connected to the effect circuit 14. Here, the communication I / F 12 and the communication network 101 are not limited to the wired system but may be a wireless system. In addition, both types may be provided.

  The storage device 10 is, for example, a storage medium such as a flexible disk (FD), a hard disk (HD), a CD-ROM, a DVD (digital versatile disc), a magneto-optical disk (MO), and a semiconductor memory, and a driving device thereof. The storage medium may be detachable from the drive device, or the storage device 10 itself may be detachable from the electronic music device of the present embodiment. Alternatively, neither the storage medium nor the storage device 10 may be detachable. The storage device 10 can also store the control program executed by the CPU 5 as described above. When the control program is not stored in the ROM 6, the control program is stored in the storage device 10 and stored in the RAM 7. The CPU 5 can be caused to perform the same operation as when the control program is stored in the ROM 6. In this way, control programs can be easily added and upgraded.

  The MIDII / F11 is not limited to a dedicated one, and may be configured by a general-purpose interface such as RS-232C, USB (universal serial bus), IEEE1394, or the like. In this case, data other than MIDI messages may be transmitted and received simultaneously.

Then, the download is completed by accumulating in the storage device 10.

  In this embodiment, the electronic music apparatus is constructed on the electronic keyboard instrument. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic music apparatus may be constructed on a general-purpose PC externally connected to the keyboard. Further, instead of the keyboard instrument form, other instrument forms such as a string instrument type, a wind instrument type, and a percussion instrument type may be employed. Furthermore, it may be constructed on an acoustic device such as a mixer. In that case, a signal processing circuit for mixing a musical sound signal, an AD / DA conversion circuit, and the like are essential components, but a tone generator circuit is not an essential component.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of partial data used in the electronic music apparatus of the present embodiment. Here, the partial data includes a type (TYPE) parameter set, a design (DESIGN) parameter set, and a color (COLOR) parameter, of which the previous two data are shown.

  The TYPE parameter set defines the types of parameters to be displayed on the top screen of each operation mode (in this embodiment, three types of voice (VOICE) mode, performance (PERFORMANCE) mode, and master (MASTER) mode)). . A plurality of TYPE parameter sets are provided in advance for each operation mode, and are stored in, for example, the ROM 6 or the storage device 10. In each TYPE parameter set, one or more parameter identification information (for example, name, ID (identification), etc.) for specifying a parameter is registered. In the illustrated example, only the parameter (identification information) selected from the parameter group specific to the operation mode is registered in the TYPE parameter set. For example, in the TYPE parameter set for the voice mode, only the voice parameter (identification information) selected from the voice parameter group stored in the voice parameter register group is registered. However, this is only for convenience of explanation, and a parameter group that can be selected from any of the operation modes is provided and may be selected from among them, or may be selected from a parameter group that is unique to other operation modes. You may be able to do it. Note that the feature of the present invention does not depend on how to use and control each parameter, so description of the contents of each parameter will not be given here. Any one TYPE parameter set is selected for each operation mode, but any one of a plurality of TYPE parameter sets for the operation mode is selected and set.

  The DESIGN parameter set defines the display mode of the top screen in each operation mode. A plurality of DESIGN parameter sets that are common to each operation mode are provided in advance, and are stored in the ROM 6 or the storage device 10 in the same manner as the TYPE parameter set. In each DESIGN parameter set, a lot of skin data identification information for specifying skin data is registered. Examples of skin data include display parts, frame data, font data, and the like. The data of the same type are collected to form a data group such as a display part group, a frame data group, and a font data group, and further, these data groups are gathered to form a skin data group. A skin data group is also stored in the ROM 6 or the storage device 10. One DESIGN parameter set is selected and set for each operation mode.

  The COLOR parameter defines the color of the top screen in each operation mode. COLOR parameters that are common to each operation mode are provided in advance to indicate seven colors of red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange, and pink. Similar to the TYPE parameter set, the COLOR parameter is stored in the ROM 6 or the storage device 10. It is remembered. The COLOR parameter is set by selecting a COLOR parameter indicating any one color for each operation mode.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing a part of the operation panel of the electronic music apparatus according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the display screen 9a displayed on the small LCD of the display unit 9 and the setting operator 2 are shown. A part of is drawn.

  The display screen 9a shows an example of a screen displayed when a screen tab in the utility (UTILITY) mode is selected. The display screen 9a is used to set the display format (display contents, display mode, and display color in this embodiment) of each of the three types of operation modes. Is referred to as “top screen setting screen 9a”.

  Six tabs including the Screen tab are displayed on the top screen setting screen 9a. Each tab is selected by pressing one of the six function switches F1 to F6 at a corresponding position. The That is, the Screen tab is selected by the user pressing the function switch F6.

  The button located one level above the tab is selected by pressing one of the six sub-function switches SF1 to SF6 at the corresponding position. This button is a view (VIEW) button in the illustrated example. Therefore, the VIEW button is selected by pressing the sub function switch SF6.

  In the present embodiment, the setting of the top screen in each operation mode is performed by selecting the TYPE parameter set, the DESIGN parameter set, and the COLOR parameter one by one. As the selection method, for example, the operation mode is first designated by the row cursor C1 for designating the row, and then the top screen (display format) of the operation mode is defined by the column cursor C2 for designating the column. Specify one of the parameters. When the parameter to be set is specified in this way, the parameter value is changed by rotating the rotary encoder 2a or by pressing the increase / decrease (DEC) switch 2b1 or 2b2. . The row cursor C1 is moved by pressing the up (“↑”) / down (“↓”) switch 2c1 or 2c2, and the column cursor C2 is moved to the left (“←”) / right (“→”). ") Pressing the switch 2c3 or 2c4.

  The ENTER switch 2d is pressed to confirm something, and the EXIT switch 2e is pressed to close the reduced screen (described later with reference to FIG. 6) of the top screen being set. The operation of the SHIFT switch 2f will be described later.

  A voice (VOICE) switch 2g, a performance (PERFORM) switch 2h, and a master (MASTER) switch 2i are pressed to switch the operation mode to the voice mode, performance mode, and master mode, respectively.

  The voice & performance selection switch group 2j is a switch group provided for selecting and specifying one of various selectable voices or various performances.

  The control process executed by the electronic music apparatus configured as described above will be described first with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 and then in detail with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the user sets each parameter defining the display format of the top screen on the top screen setting screen 9a of FIG. 3, and then selects one of the operation mode switches 2g to 2i, for example, the VOICE switch 2g. When pressed, the top screen setting screen 9a is switched to the voice mode top screen.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the voice mode top screen displayed on the small LCD of the display 9. FIG. 4A shows a case where the TYPE parameter set 1 and the DESIGN parameter set B are designated. (B) shows the top screen when TYPE parameter set 1 and DESIGN parameter set A are specified, and (c) shows the top screen when TYPE parameter set 2 and DESIGN parameter set A are specified. Shows the top screen when done.

  As can be seen by comparing FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the top screens have different screen designs, but the display contents, that is, the types and the number of parameters to be displayed are not different. On the other hand, in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, both the top screens have the same screen design but different display contents. In each top screen, the shaded portion is mainly displayed in the color of the designated COLOR parameter.

  As described above, in the electronic music device according to the present embodiment, the display format of the top screen in each operation mode can be customized. Therefore, the display format of the top screen in each operation mode can be changed according to the situation in which the electronic music device is used. It becomes possible to accurately respond to the user's desire to change.

  When setting the top screen of a certain operation mode on the top screen setting screen 9a, there is a case where it is desired to display the set top screen for confirmation without switching from the utility mode to the operation mode. Therefore, in the electronic music apparatus according to the present embodiment, when the VIEW button is displayed in the top screen setting screen 9a and the user presses the sub-function switch SF6 to select the VIEW button, the top being set is displayed. A reduced screen is generated and displayed on the top screen setting screen 9a. When the user wants to erase the reduced screen on the top screen, the user presses the EXIT switch 2e.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, while setting the display format of the top screen of the operation mode in the utility mode, the top screen being set in the utility mode can be confirmed and displayed without switching to the operation mode. it can. Thereby, the setting efficiency of the user when setting the display format of the top screen can be improved.

  Next, this control process will be described in detail.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the main routine executed by the electronic music apparatus of the present embodiment, particularly the CPU 5.

This main routine mainly includes (1) initial setting processing (step S1).
(2) Utility mode processing (step S3)
(3) Voice mode processing (step S4)
(4) Other mode processing (step S5)
It is constituted by.

  This main routine starts when a power switch (not shown) included in the setting operator 2 of the electronic music apparatus of the present embodiment is turned on, and ends when it is turned off. When the main routine is activated, the CPU 5 first executes the initial setting process (1). In this (1) initial setting process, the CPU 5 clears the RAM 7, sets various parameter values to default values, starts the timer 8, and timer interrupt process (this will be described later). In order to start up (including musical tone generation processing), initial settings such as permitting the timer 8 to generate an interrupt signal and setting the operation mode to the default mode are performed (step S1).

  Next, the CPU 5 branches the process according to the designated operation mode (step S2). Note that all modes used in the electronic music apparatus of the present embodiment are “operation modes”. Therefore, the “utility mode” is also one of the “operation modes”. However, in this embodiment, the top screen cannot be customized for all “operation modes”, and the top screen is displayed only for a part of the “operation modes”, that is, the voice mode, the performance mode, and the master mode. It can be customized. For this reason, the top screen of the “utility mode” cannot be customized. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the top screen may be customized for all “operation modes”, or a part of the “operation modes” may be increased or decreased from the above three types of operation modes. Good. Furthermore, instead of the above three types of operation modes, other operation modes may be employed.

  When the user designates the utility mode by pressing a utility (UTILITY) switch (not shown) included in the setting operator 2, for example, the CPU 5 advances the process to the utility mode process (2) ( Step S2 → S3).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the (2) utility mode process. This (2) utility mode process mainly includes (21) function selection process for selecting an active function (step S11).
(22) Top screen setting process executed when “Screen” is selected as an active function (steps S13 to S15)
(23) Other function processing executed when a function other than “Screen” is selected (step S17)
(24) Top screen confirmation process executed when the VIEW button is operated (steps S18 and S19)
(25) Reduced screen deletion process for deleting the reduced screen of the top screen displayed by the top screen confirmation process of (24) (step S21)
(26) Utility mode end processing for ending the utility mode (step S22)
It is constituted by.

  In FIG. 6, first, the CPU 5 advances the process to the function selection process (21). In this (21) function selection process, the CPU 5 selects an active function among a plurality of functions in the utility mode. Here, the active function means a function corresponding to the main screen displayed on the small LCD of the display unit 9. As a method for selecting an active function, for example, according to a user operation, that is, a method in which the user presses one of the function switches F1 to F6 to select, or when no user operation is performed, a default function (or a previous function) The method of selecting the last function selected when specifying the utility mode is considered.

  Next, the CPU 5 determines whether or not the active function is “Screen” (step S12). If it is “Screen”, the process proceeds to the top screen setting process of (22) above, but if it is not “Screen”. Then, the process proceeds to the other function process (23).

  (22) In the top screen setting process, the CPU 5 first sets the top screen (TYPE parameter set, DESIGN parameter set, and COLOR parameter) for each operation mode (in this embodiment, the voice mode, the performance mode, and the master mode). The data is read out and displayed on the small LCD of the display 9 (step S13). As a result, the top screen setting screen 9a of FIG. 3 is displayed on the small LCD of the display 9. Next, the CPU 5 designates the row and parameter column of the operation mode to be changed in accordance with the default value or the cursor movement operation by the user. If, for example, the first column of the first row is adopted as the default value, the TYPE parameter set of the voice mode is changed on the top screen setting screen 9a as shown in FIG. The “cursor moving operation” refers to the up / down switches 2c1 and 2c2 and the left / right switches 2c3 and 2c4 for moving the row cursor C1 and the column cursor C2 as described above with reference to FIG. Operation. Then, the CPU 5 changes and stores the setting according to the operation of the rotary encoder 2a or the increase / decrease switches 2b1 and 2b2 by the user, and reflects it in the display (step S15). In this embodiment, the setting result of the top screen is stored in a top screen setting storage area (not shown) provided in the storage device 10, and the electronic music apparatus of this embodiment is turned off. Even so, I keep it. Therefore, “memory” in step S15 means storing the setting value in the top screen setting storage area.

  (23) In the other function process, the CPU 5 performs a process for the function selected by the user, which is a process other than the screen function. The feature of the present invention is not provided in functions other than the screen function in the utility mode, and the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the CPU 5 checks whether or not the user has operated the VIEW button by depressing the sub-function switch SF6 (step S16), and when the VIEW button is operated, the processing is confirmed by the top screen of (24). On the other hand, if the VIEW button is not operated, the process proceeds to the utility mode end process (26).

  (24) In the top screen confirmation process, the CPU 5 operates in the operation mode corresponding to the change target line, that is, the line where the line cursor C1 is located (in this embodiment, one of the voice mode, the performance mode, and the master mode). The top screen settings (TYPE parameter set, DESIGN parameter set, and COLOR parameter) are read out (step S18), and the reduced screen of the top screen of the operation mode of the change target line is generated with the read settings, and the utility screen, that is, the top screen The setting screen 9a is displayed so as to overlap (step S19). Thereby, the top screen of the operation mode currently being set can be confirmed in the utility mode.

  Next, the CPU 5 checks whether or not the user has pressed the EXIT switch 2e. When the EXIT switch 2e is pressed, the process proceeds to the reduced screen erasing process of (25), while the EXIT switch 2e is not pressed. In some cases, the process proceeds to the utility mode end process (26).

  (25) In the reduced screen deletion process, the CPU 5 deletes the reduced screen of the top screen from the top screen setting screen 9a (step S21).

  (26) In the utility mode end process, the CPU 5 checks whether or not there has been an operation for shifting from the utility mode to another operation mode, such as when any of the operation mode switches 2g to 2i is pressed, and the operation is detected. When the operation is performed, the utility mode process is terminated (step S22 → return). On the other hand, when the operation is not detected, the process returns to the function selection process of (21) and the above process is repeated (steps S22 → S11). ).

  On the other hand, when the voice mode is designated as the operation mode in step S2 of FIG. 5, the CPU 5 advances the process to (3) (3) voice mode processing (step S2 → S4).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the (3) voice mode processing. This (3) voice mode processing is mainly performed by (31) initial setting processing (step S31).
(32) Top screen display processing for displaying the top screen in the voice mode (steps S32 to S35)
(33) Voice parameter value change processing for changing the value of the voice parameter displayed on the top screen (steps S36 and S37)
(34) Display content change processing for changing the display content of the top screen (steps S43 → S32 to S35)
(35) Detailed setting process for performing detailed setting of voice parameters in accordance with user instructions (step S40)
(36) Voice mode end processing for ending the voice mode (steps S41 and S42)
It is constituted by.

  In FIG. 7, the CPU 5 first proceeds to the initial setting process (31). In this (31) initial setting process, the CPU 5 reads out the settings of the voice mode top screen (TYPE parameter set, DESIGN parameter set, and COLOR parameter) and temporarily stores them in the RAM 7 (step S31).

  Next, the CPU 5 advances the process to the top screen display process (32). In this (32) top screen display process, first, the CPU 5 determines a parameter (voice parameter in the present embodiment) specified by the parameter identification information registered in the read TYPE parameter set (step S32). Next, the CPU 5 determines the skin data (the appearance of the screen frame, parts, font, fixed color, etc.) specified by the skin data identification information registered in the read DESIGN parameter set (step S33). Next, the CPU 5 determines the color of the portion affected by the color designation in the skin data determined in step S33 as the color indicated by the read COLOR parameter (step S34). Then, the CPU 5 displays a top screen according to the parameters, skin data, and colors determined in steps S32 to S34 (step S35). As a result, the voice mode top screen is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 5 advances the process to the voice parameter value changing process (33). In this (33) voice parameter value changing process, first, the CPU 5 uses the various switches (not shown) included in the setting operator 2, for example, the voice parameter displayed on the top screen, that is, the voice parameter value. It is checked whether or not any change in the value of the voice parameter determined in step S32 is instructed. When the change is instructed, the value of the voice parameter is changed to the indicated value, and the storage location (this implementation) In this form, the value of the corresponding register in the voice parameter register group is updated with the changed value (step S36). Next, the CPU 5 reads the value of the changed voice parameter from the storage location, and updates the display of the corresponding voice parameter in the top screen with the read value (step S37). On the other hand, when the user has not instructed the change, the CPU 5 skips the (33) voice parameter value change process and advances the process to step S38.

  In step S38, the CPU 5 checks whether or not the user has performed an operation for changing the TYPE parameter set. In the electronic music apparatus of the present embodiment, when the user presses the left / right switches 2c3 and 2c4 while pressing the SHIFT switch 2f during the display of the top screen, the TYPE parameter set that defines the display content of the top screen Can be changed to another TYPE parameter set (of course, only when another TYPE parameter set is provided for the voice mode). Accordingly, the “changing operation” in step S38 is an operation of “pressing the left / right switches 2c3 and 2c4 while pressing the SHIFT switch 2f”.

  As a result of the check in step S38, when an operation for changing the TYPE parameter set is detected, the CPU 5 advances the process to the display content changing process of (34), while no operation for changing the TYPE parameter set is detected. Sometimes, the CPU 5 advances the process to step S39.

  (34) In the display content changing process, the CPU 5 changes the currently set TYPE parameter set to another TYPE parameter set, and saves the changed TYPE parameter set (step S43). Here, the storage destination is the nonvolatile storage device 10, and when the power is turned on again, the top screen may be displayed based on the changed TYPE parameter set, or temporarily stored in the RAM 7. You may just save it. Then, the CPU 5 repeats the top screen display process (32). For example, assume that three types of TYPE parameter sets 1 to 3 are provided for the voice mode. If the TYPE parameter set 2 is currently set and the DESIGN parameter set A is set at the same time, the voice mode top screen is displayed as shown in FIG. In this state, when the user depresses the left switch 2c3 while depressing the SHIFT switch 2f, the TYPE parameter set 2 is changed to the TYPE parameter set 1. In response to this, the top screen is changed from the display of FIG. 4C to the display of FIG. On the other hand, when the user presses the right switch 2c4 while pressing the SHIFT switch 2f in this state, the TYPE parameter set 2 is changed to the TYPE parameter set 3.

  In step S39, the CPU 5 checks whether or not the user has issued an instruction to shift to the detailed setting of the voice parameter by pressing any one of the voice & performance selection switch group 2j, and the instruction is detected. Sometimes, the process proceeds to the detailed setting process of (35), whereas when the instruction is not detected, the process proceeds to the voice mode end process of (36).

  (35) In the detailed setting process, the CPU 5 sets the voice parameters in detail according to the content of the user instruction (step S40). Note that the feature of the present invention is not how the voice parameters are set in detail, so that the detailed setting description is omitted. After the (36) detailed setting process, the CPU 5 advances the process to the voice mode end process of (36).

  (36) In the voice mode end process, the CPU 5 checks whether there has been an operation for switching from the voice mode to another mode, such as when the operation mode switches 2h and 2i other than the VOICE switch 2g are pressed. If detected, the voice mode process is terminated (step S41 or S42 → return). If the operation is not detected, the process returns to the detailed setting process (35) (step S41 → S40), or Returning to the voice parameter value changing process (33) (steps S42 to S36), the above process is repeated.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when a mode other than the utility mode and the voice mode is designated, the CPU 5 advances the process to the other mode process of (4) (steps S2 → S5). The other modes include the performance mode and the master mode. As described above, the same top screen as the voice mode is displayed in the performance mode and the master mode. Processes corresponding to the processes (31) to (34) are executed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a detailed procedure of the tone generation process, which is one process during the timer interrupt process. The timer interrupt signal for starting this timer interrupt process is generated every time the timer 8 times a predetermined period (for example, 5 msec).

  As shown in the figure, in this musical tone generation process, the CPU 5 generates musical tone by supplying performance information (performance event) obtained by key pressing operation, MIDI message input or automatic performance to the tone generator circuit 13. (Step S51).
