Disclosed is a learning model generation method executed by a computer, including: striking a percussion instrument with a striking member to emit a musical sound; and conducting machine learning upon receiving an input of the musical sound emitted from the percussion instrument, and generating, based on the machine learning, a learning model for outputting numerical values for setting musical performance parameters for an automatic musical performance of the percussion instrument that is struck when the striking member is driven.

An electronic performance device includes a storage mechanism 1, a detection mechanism 2 and an output mechanism 3. The storage mechanism 1 is configured to store data waveforms per level of hit strength. The detection mechanism 2 is configured to transmit a detection signal at the time of hitting. The output mechanism 3 is configured to output data waveforms corresponding to the hit strength indicated by the detection signal. The storage mechanism 1 stores basic data waveforms corresponding to each level of strength of a hit on a musical instrument. An additional element that is produced based on waveform data extracted separately from the basic waveform data and applicable to multiple levels of the hit strength. The output mechanism 3 outputs output waveform data where the additional element is applied to the basic waveform data.

Provided a method for playing audios. The method includes: acquiring vibration control information corresponding to a target audio, wherein at least one vibration period and vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period are recorded in the vibration control information, and each vibration period corresponds to a beat period of a target percussive instrument in the target audio; synchronously playing the target audio and the vibration control information; and when any vibration period of the at least one vibration period is played, controlling a terminal to vibrate based on vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

A handheld musical instrument for playing a variety of audio program, the handheld musical instrument comprising a body portion with one or more sensors and a handle portion coupled to said body part, wherein said handle portion includes one or more operational buttons to control the operation of said handheld musical instrument. The buttons being operated with a finger or thumb trigger.

An electronic percussion instrument controller includes a selection input device, a setting input device and a processor. The selection input device is configured to select an instrument which defines a tone that corresponds to a musical performance input device. The setting input device is configured to selectively set a tone lock for the musical performance input device. The processor is programmed to maintain a set tone of the musical performance input device for which the tone lock is set by the setting device.

A pedal device for an electronic percussion instrument is provided, wherein first and second detection means for detecting a rotation of a pedal by different methods are alternatively disposed in a base. The pedal has a pressing part on a lower surface side. The base includes a first portion located under the pressing part for supporting the first detection means, and a second portion located around the first portion for supporting the second detection means. The first portion supports the first detection means such that a first pressed part of the first detection means is disposed on a displacement trajectory of the pressing part that displaces with the rotation of the pedal, and the second portion disposes the second detection means such that a second pressed part of the second detection means is disposed on the displacement trajectory of the pressing part.

A sound production control apparatus by which a sound production mode is controlled on the basis of a player's motion even during a non-playing control operation period. An information obtaining unit 30 obtains detection information by detecting a player's motion. A sound processing unit 36 produces sound on the basis of the detection information obtained in response to operation for generating a sound trigger in the player's motion, and controls a sound production mode on the basis of the detection information obtained in response to operation for generating no sound trigger in the player's motion.

A device is provided for capturing vibrations produced by an object such as a musical instrument such as a drum head of a drum kit. The device comprises a detectable element, such as a ferromagnetic element, such as a metal shim and a sensor spaced apart from and located relative to the musical instrument. The detectable element is located between the sensor and the musical instrument. When the musical instrument vibrates, the sensor remains stationary and the detectable element is vibrated relative to the sensor by the musical instrument.

This electronic musical instrument main body device comprises an information acquisition unit and a port assignment unit. The information acquisition unit acquires, from a playing operation device connected to one connection terminal, information related to the playing operation device. The port assignment unit assigns, to the playing operation device, a virtual input port of a type corresponding to the information related to the playing operation device and acquired by the information acquisition unit.

A storage medium storing a musical performance program and a musical performance device are provided. A musical sound is output through a clicking operation performed on an operation button, and a tone parameter is changed through a dragging operation. A parameter display part 6a is displayed on the operation button. When the musical sound is output through a clicking operation performed on the operation button, a user can recognize a state of the tone parameter of the output musical sound in advance through the parameter display part. Since the tone parameter set through a dragging operation performed on the operation button is reflected to the parameter display part, the tone parameter is recognized without looking away from the operation button.
