Made making method for electronic musical device

Abstract

An electronic musical apparatus such as an electronic musical instrument can be easily customized in accordance with a user's preference. Electronic musical instrument 20A and personal computers 40A, 40B can access server 50 via internet 10. A database that stores musical tone control data for controlling the generation of musical tone signals is provided in memory device 59 disposed in main body part 52 of server 50. Information on applicable apparatus types is annexed to the musical tone control data. At the time of purchasing electronic musical instruments 20A to 20C, the user is given a user identification data ID that can specify the apparatus types of electronic musical instruments 20A to 20C. With the use of this identification data ID, the user downloads the applicable musical tone control data from server 50 to electronic musical instrument 20A or to electronic musical instruments 20B, 20C via personal computers 40A, 40B.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for customizing electronic music equipment, which customizes electronic musical instruments by providing customized tone control data for controlling generation of tone signals from a server to electronic music equipment that generates tone signals, electronic music equipment and electronic music equipment using the method Servers for electronic music equipment. Background technique [0002] Conventional electronic music devices such as electronic musical instruments generally include: a tone signal generator that generates a tone signal; and a storage device that stores in advance different tone control data supplied to the tone signal for controlling generation of the tone signal, for example, such as tone color data, Various tone control data for effect data, auto accompaniment data, and automatic performance data. The user of the electronic music device can select the desired tone control data to set the t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned conventional electronic music apparatus using only the tone control data previously stored in the storage means, since the storage means stores only average tone control data satisfying many users' demands in an intermediate state, it may not be possible to fully satisfy the demands of individual users.

For example, a user who mainly plays or listens to Latin music may require the storage device to pre-store various tone control data (timbre data, effect data, automatic accompaniment data, automatic performance data, etc.) related to Latin music; this request

Also, novice users may request a variety of automatic performance data related to easy-to-understand lesson music for practice; however, such user requests may not be fully satisfied

Conversely, if an electronic music device wants to satisfy all users, it requires a huge storage capacity in the storage device, which is unrealistic

[0005] Moreover, even in the above-mentioned conventional electronic music apparatus in which the user prepares the tone control data by himself, it is not easy to prepare the tone control data, and it is difficult to store a variety of tone control data suitable for the user's preference in the storage device.

Moreover, even in electronic music devices that obtain tone control data from different electronic music devices or recording media, it is not easy to find tone control data that is introduced into the electronic music device and is suitable for the electronic music device, and, in this case, it is difficult Storage of various tone control data suitable for the electronic music equipment owned by the user, and suitable for the user's preference in the storage device

[0006] In order to solve these problems, it is possible to prepare a variety of electronic music devices equipped with various tone control data (tone color data, effect data, automatic accompaniment data, automatic performance data), each of which is different for each region or country or according to the user. Combination configuration is preferred, it is necessary to manufacture a variety of electronic music devices including a variety of tone control data (all constituted by different combinations), and inventory management, etc. must be performed, resulting in cumbersome manufacturing and management
