Electronic Stringed Instrument And Musical Sound Generation Method

Abstract

The present invention provides an electronic stringed instrument and a musical sound generation method. The electronic stringed instrument 1 includes a string-pressing sensor 44 that detects a state of contact between each of a plurality of frets 23 and each of a plurality of strings 22. A CPU 41 detects that picking of any of the plurality of strings 22, provides a sound generation instruction to a connected sound source 45 to produce musical sound of a pitch determined based on the detected state of contact, detects a vibration pitch of the string 22 of which picking was detected, and corrects the pitch of the musical sound generated by the connected sound source 45 based on the detected vibration pitch.

Description

[0001] Associate application [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-1419 (filing date: January 8, 2013). This application incorporates the entire content of the basic application by referring to this basic application. technical field [0003] The invention relates to an electronic stringed instrument and a method for generating tone. Background technique [0004] In the prior art, there is known an input control device that extracts a pitch of an input waveform signal and instructs musical tone production corresponding to the extracted pitch. As such a device, for example, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-136088 detects the waveform zero-crossing period after the maximum value detection and the waveform zero-crossing period after the minimum value detection of the input waveform signal. When approximately coincident, indicate the pronunciation of the musical tone corresponding to the i...
