An electronic wind instrument and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic wind instrument includes an acquisition unit which acquires an operation performed on a playing operator, a breathing detection unit which detects breathing, and a control unit which generates a musical sound signal on the basis of at least one of the breathing that has been detected and the operation acquired by the acquisition unit, in which the control unit switches a first mode for generating a musical sound signal with a detection of the breathing as a condition and a second mode for generating the musical sound signal on the basis of the operation regardless of whether or not the breathing has been detected, on the basis of a detection result of the breathing.

Audio data is generated for a vehicle audio system using a portable computing device. Vehicle parameter data is received at the portable computing device from a vehicle. Sound parameter data is generated from the vehicle parameter data. Audio data is generated using a synthesizer based on the sound parameter data. The generated audio data is transmitted to the vehicle audio system from the portable computing device.

Different aspects of the invention implement a sensor module that can be configured as a keyboard module or as a pedal module, allowing to connect a plurality of keyboard and pedal modules to assemble a configuration to the user’s liking, such as, for example, the usual configuration of an 87-key piano together with two pedals. The sensor module transmits information about detected key or pedal strokes to a computer application for playback, either aural or visual. At the same time, the sensor module allows, both in the keyboard module and pedal module configuration, to transmit the feeling of playing a real piano.

An information processing device includes: an input interface; and at least one processor, configured to perform the following: selecting an instrument, a musical tone of which is to be digitally synthesized based on corresponding musical tone data, via the input interface; acquiring a parameter value that has been set for the selected instrument; generating a random number based on a random function; and changing a pitch of the musical tone of the selected instrument based on the generated random number and the acquired parameter values.

Provided is a device 1 including: a signal processing unit 40 that applies a rotary speaker effect corresponding to a rotation speed value to a sound signal and control a tone color of the sound signal; and a control unit 10 that gradually changes, in response to a change command of the rotation speed value, the rotation speed value from a first speed to a second speed higher than the first speed with a first change curve having a first delay, and gradually changes control of the tone color from a first characteristic to a second characteristic that is stronger in the high frequency range than the first characteristic with a second change curve having a second delay shorter than the first delay.
