(First embodiment)
1 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a performance parameter setting device 100 according to the first embodiment. The hardware of the performance parameter setting device 100 is, for example, a general-purpose information processing device such as a personal computer.

The performance parameter setting device 100 has a CPU 102, ROM 103, RAM 104, display device 105, keyboard 106, mouse 107, sound source unit 108, communication interface 109, VRAM 110, key scan circuit 111, mouse scan circuit 112, bus 113, sound system 114, and external device 115. The display device 105 is connected to the bus 113 via VRAM 110. The keyboard 106 is connected to the bus 113 via key scan circuit 111. The mouse 107 is connected to the bus 113 via mouse scan circuit 112. The mouse 107 may be a pointing device such as a tablet, touch screen, or touch panel.

The user can use the mouse 107 to move the cursor displayed on the display device 105 and give instructions by operating the mouse 107. The mouse scan circuit 112 detects the movement and operation of the mouse 107 and outputs a detection signal to the CPU 102 via the bus 113.

The keyboard 106 has keys for inputting letters, numbers, symbols, etc. The key scan circuit 111 detects the on/off status of the keys on the keyboard 106 and outputs a detection signal to the CPU 102.

The external device 115 is, for example, an external storage device, an external computer, a printer, or a MIDI device. The external storage device is, for example, a hard disk drive, a CD-ROM, an MO disk, a DVD, or a memory card. The communication interface 109 is an interface connected to a communication network such as a USB, a LAN, the Internet, or a telephone line, or a MIDI network, and is connected to the external device 115.

The CPU 102 loads a program stored on the hard disk drive of the external device 115 into the RAM 104 and executes the program loaded into the RAM 104, thereby controlling the entire performance parameter setting device 100. The hard disk drive of the external device 115 stores the performance parameter setting program executed by the CPU 102, musical score information, and performance parameters. The RAM 104 temporarily stores information used in CPU 102 processing.

The display device 105 is, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or other display device. The display device 105 displays sheet music, etc.

The sound source unit 108 includes software as a sound source and a DSP for adding effects, and generates audio data for producing sounds corresponding to the musical score. The sound source unit 108 outputs audio data to the sound system 114 based on musical score data such as the note number, tone color, step, gate time, and velocity corresponding to the musical score. The sound system 114 has a D/A converter, amplifier, and speaker, and can produce sounds corresponding to the musical score based on the audio data generated by the sound source unit 108.

Figure 2 shows examples of a mixer setting window 201 and a musical score display window 202 that the CPU 102 displays on the display device 105. The CPU 102 reads musical score data stored on the hard disk drive of the external device 115 and displays a musical score based on the musical score data in the musical score display window 202. The musical score has multiple parts.

The CPU 102 displays the mixer settings window 201. In the mixer settings window 201, the user can set performance parameters for the mixer functions of the first part (soprano), second part (alto), and third part (piano accompaniment). For example, the user can set reverb (REV), chorus (CHO), sound image positioning (PAN), and volume as performance parameters. Performance parameters include, for example, volume, sound image positioning, effect amount, or equalizer.

The first part (soprano) in the mixer settings window 201 allows you to set the performance parameters for the first part of the score displayed in the score display window 202. The second part (alto) in the mixer settings window 201 allows you to set the performance parameters for the second part of the score displayed in the score display window 202. The third part (piano accompaniment) in the mixer settings window 201 allows you to set the performance parameters for the third part of the score displayed in the score display window 202.

For example, to practice karaoke, a user can designate the first part (soprano) as the practice part by clicking the practice part button 203 for the first part (soprano) with the mouse. In this case, the second part (alto) and the third part (piano accompaniment) are parts other than the practice part.

When the user clicks the play button with the mouse, the volume of the first part (soprano), which is the practice part, is lowered, and the volume of the second part (alto) and third part (piano accompaniment), which are not practice parts, remains unchanged, and audio data based on the sheet music data is played.

Figure 3 (A) shows an example of the functional configuration of a performance parameter setting device 100 according to the first embodiment. The performance parameter setting device 100 has a template generation unit 301, a template selection unit 302, a performance parameter setting unit 303, a practice part designation unit 304, a performance parameter application unit 305, and an audio data generation unit 306. The performance parameter setting device 100 realizes the functions of the template generation unit 301, the template selection unit 302, the performance parameter setting unit 303, the practice part designation unit 304, the performance parameter application unit 305, and the audio data generation unit 306 when the CPU 102 executes a program.

Figure 3(B) is a diagram showing examples of a template 311, mixer setting data 312, and musical score data 313. Figure 3(C) is a flowchart showing the performance parameter setting method of the performance parameter setting device 100.

In step S321, the template generation unit 301 generates template 311 in response to user operation and saves template 311 on the hard disk drive. Template 311 includes multiple templates 314 and 315. Template 314 has template 314a of performance parameters for the practice part and template 314b of performance parameters for parts other than the practice part. Template 315 has template 315a of performance parameters for the practice part and template 315b of performance parameters for parts other than the practice part.

For example, the practice part template 314a has a volume setting of 0, while the template 314b for parts other than the practice part has a volume setting that does not change (karaoke). For example, template 314a may include a parameter with an absolute volume value of 0 to set the volume to 0.

For example, the practice part template 315a is set to not change the volume, while the template 315b for parts other than the practice part is set to a volume of 0 (solo).

Furthermore, the template for the practice part may be set to have the sound image localized to the left, while the templates for parts other than the practice part may be set to have the sound image localized to the right.

Also, the template for the practice part may be set to lower the volume, while the templates for parts other than the practice part may be set to leave the volume unchanged (guided karaoke). For example, the template may include a parameter for a negative relative volume value to lower the volume by a predetermined amount, or a parameter for a positive relative volume value to raise the volume by a predetermined amount.

Also, the practice part template may be set to not change the volume, while the templates for parts other than the practice part may be set to lower the volume (emphasis added).

For example, the performance parameter template for the practice part may have different volume or sound image positioning compared to the performance parameters for parts other than the practice part. Templates other than those described above may also be used. There may be three or more templates 314 and 315. The user can edit template 311 using the mouse.

In step S322, the template selection unit 302 selects one template from among multiple templates 314 and 315 in response to a user operation.

In step S323, the performance parameter setting unit 303 sets performance parameters for each of the multiple parts of the musical score in the mixer setting window 201 of Figure 2 in response to user operations. For example, the performance parameter setting unit 303 sets the volume of each part in a balanced manner so that the music sounds pleasant. The performance parameter setting unit 303 sets performance parameters for the mixer function. For example, performance parameters include volume, sound image positioning, effect amount, or equalizer. The performance parameter setting unit 303 generates the performance parameter settings in the mixer setting window 201 of Figure 2 as mixer setting data 312 of Figure 3 (B). The mixer setting data 312 is the performance parameters for the multiple parts in the mixer setting window 201 and includes mixer setting data 312a to 312c. The mixer setting data 312a is the mixer setting data (performance parameters) for the first part (soprano). Mixer setting data 312b is the mixer setting data (performance parameters) for the second part (alto). Mixer setting data 312c is the mixer setting data (performance parameters) for the third part (piano accompaniment).

In step S324, the practice part designation unit 304 designates a practice part from among multiple parts in response to user operation on the mixer setting window 201 in Figure 2. For example, the practice part designation unit 304 designates the part for which the practice part button 203 in Figure 2 is clicked as the practice part. In the case of Figure 2, the practice part button 203 for the first part (soprano) was clicked, so the practice part designation unit 304 designates the first part (soprano) as the practice part. The second part (alto) and third part (piano accompaniment) are parts other than the practice part.

In step S325, the performance parameter application unit 305 applies the performance parameter template 314a for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a for the practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter application unit 305 then generates score data that reflects the applied performance parameters for the score data 313 for multiple parts corresponding to the score in the score display window 202 of FIG. 2. The score data 313 includes score data 313a for the first part (soprano). The mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312a for the first part and the performance parameter template 314a for the practice part are reflected in the score data 313a for the first part. For example, if the template 314a has a volume setting of 0, the volume of the score data 313a for the first part will be 0.

Note that the template 314a may be a negative relative volume value for lowering the volume by a predetermined amount. In this case, the performance parameter application unit 305 applies the negative relative volume value to the performance parameter 312a, thereby lowering the volume of the performance parameter 312a by the relative value. However, if the volume becomes lower than the minimum value as a result, the performance parameter application unit 305 sets the volume to the minimum value.

Similarly, template 314a may be a positive relative volume value for increasing the volume by a predetermined amount. In this case, the performance parameter application unit 305 applies the positive relative volume value to performance parameter 312a, thereby increasing the volume of performance parameter 312a by the relative value. However, if the volume becomes higher than the maximum value as a result, the performance parameter application unit 305 sets the volume to the maximum value.

The performance parameter application unit 305 also applies the performance parameter template 314b for parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b and 312c for parts other than the practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter application unit 305 then generates score data that reflects the applied performance parameters for the score data 313 for multiple parts corresponding to the score in the score display window 202 of Figure 2. The score data 313 includes score data 313b for the second part (alto) and score data 313c for the third part (piano accompaniment). The mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312b for the second part and the performance parameter template 314b for parts other than the practice part are reflected in the score data 313b for the second part. The third part's musical score data 313c reflects the third part's mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312c and the performance parameter template 314b for parts other than the practice part. For example, if the template 314b is set to no volume change, the volume of the second part's musical score data 313b reflects the volume of the second part's mixer setting data 312b. The volume of the third part's musical score data 313c reflects the volume of the third part's mixer setting data 312c.

In step S326, when the user clicks the play button, the audio data generation unit 306 uses the sound source unit 108 to generate audio data based on the score data 313 for multiple parts, reflecting the performance parameters applied in step S325, and plays the audio data using the sound system 114.

As described above, if the user designates the first part as the practice part, they can play back karaoke sheet music data with the volume of the first part set to 0. Also, if the user designates the second part as the practice part, they can play back karaoke sheet music data with the volume of the second part set to 0. In this case, the user does not need to set the volume of the first or second part to 0 in the mixer settings window 201 of Figure 2; simply by designating the practice part, the volume of the practice part can be set to 0, making operation simple.

Second Embodiment
4 shows examples of a mixer setting window 401 and a musical score display window 402 that the CPU 102 displays on the display device 105 according to the second embodiment. The CPU 102 reads out musical score data stored on the hard disk drive of the external device 115, and displays a musical score based on the musical score data in the musical score display window 402. The musical score has multiple parts. Differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described below.

The CPU 102 displays the mixer settings window 401. In the mixer settings window 401, the user can set performance parameters for the mixer function of each of the first part (soprano), second part (alto), and third part (piano accompaniment).

The first part (soprano) in the mixer settings window 401 allows you to set the performance parameters for the first part of the score displayed in the score display window 402. The second part (alto) in the mixer settings window 401 allows you to set the performance parameters for the second part of the score displayed in the score display window 402. The third part (piano accompaniment) in the mixer settings window 401 allows you to set the performance parameters for the third part of the score displayed in the score display window 402.

The user can designate the first part (soprano) as a specific practice part by clicking the specific practice part button 403 for the first part (soprano) with the mouse. The user can also designate the second part (alto) as a practice part by clicking the practice part button 404 for the second part (alto) with the mouse. In this case, the third part (piano accompaniment) is a part other than the specific practice part and the practice part.

Figure 5(A) is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a performance parameter setting device 100 according to the second embodiment. Figure 5(A) adds a specific practice part designation unit 501 to Figure 3(A). The performance parameter setting device 100 has a template generation unit 301, a template selection unit 302, a performance parameter setting unit 303, a practice part designation unit 304, a specific practice part designation unit 501, a performance parameter application unit 305, and an audio data generation unit 306. The performance parameter setting device 100 realizes the functions of the template generation unit 301, the template selection unit 302, the performance parameter setting unit 303, the practice part designation unit 304, the specific practice part designation unit 501, the performance parameter application unit 305, and the audio data generation unit 306 when the CPU 102 executes a program.

Figure 5(B) is a diagram showing an example of a template 311, mixer setting data 312, and musical score data 313. Figure 5(B) differs from Figure 3(B) in the template 311.

Figure 5(C) is a flowchart showing the performance parameter setting method of the performance parameter setting device 100. Figure 5(C) adds step S521 to Figure 3(C).

In step S321, the template generation unit 301 generates template 311 in response to user operation and saves template 311 on the hard disk drive. Template 311 includes multiple templates 314 and 315. Template 314 has a performance parameter template 511a for a specific practice part, a performance parameter template 511b for a practice part, and a performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part. Template 315 has a performance parameter template 512a for a specific practice part, a performance parameter template 512b for a practice part, and a performance parameter template 512c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part.

For example, template 511a for a specific practice part has a volume setting of 0, template 511b for a practice part has a volume setting that does not change, and template 511c for a part other than the specific practice part or practice part has a volume setting that does not change (karaoke).

For example, template 512a for a specific practice part is set to not change the volume, template 512b for a practice part is set to 0 volume, and template 512c for a part other than the specific practice part or practice part is set to 0 volume (solo).

Furthermore, the template for the specific practice part is set to have the sound image localized to the left, and the template for the practice part is set to have the sound image localized to the right, and parts other than the specific practice part and the practice part may be set to have the sound image localized unchanged.

Also, the template for the specific practice part may be set to lower the volume, the template for the practice part may be set to not change the volume, and the template for parts other than the specific practice part and the practice part may be set to not change the volume (guided karaoke).

Also, the template for the specific practice part may be set to not change the volume, the template for the practice part may be set to lower the volume, and the template for parts other than the specific practice part and the practice part may be set to not change the volume (emphasis added).

Templates other than those listed above may also be used. There may be three or more templates 314 and 315. The user can edit template 311 using the mouse.

In step S322, the template selection unit 302 selects one template from among multiple templates 314 and 315 in response to a user operation.

In step S323, the performance parameter setting unit 303 sets performance parameters for each of the multiple parts of the musical score in the mixer setting window 401 of FIG. 4 in response to user operations. The performance parameter setting unit 303 generates the performance parameter settings in the mixer setting window 401 of FIG. 4 as mixer setting data 312 of FIG. 5(B).

In step S324, the practice part designation unit 304 designates a practice part from among multiple parts in response to user operation on the mixer setting window 401 in Figure 4. For example, the practice part designation unit 304 designates the part for which the practice part button 404 in Figure 4 is clicked as the practice part. In the case of Figure 4, the practice part button 404 for the second part (alto) was clicked, so the practice part designation unit 304 designates the second part (alto) as the practice part.

In step S521, the specific practice part designation unit 501 designates a specific practice part from among multiple parts in response to user operation on the mixer settings window 401 in Figure 4. For example, the specific practice part designation unit 501 designates the part for which the specific practice part button 403 in Figure 4 is clicked as the specific practice part. In the case of Figure 4, the specific practice part button 403 for the first part (soprano) was clicked, so the specific practice part designation unit 501 designates the first part (soprano) as the specific practice part. The third part (piano accompaniment) is a part other than the specific practice part and the practice part.

In step S325, the performance parameter application unit 305 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a for the specific practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter application unit 305 then generates score data that reflects the applied performance parameters for the score data 313 for multiple parts corresponding to the score in the score display window 402 of Figure 4. The score data 313 includes score data 313a for the first part (soprano). The mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312a for the first part and the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part are reflected in the score data 313a for the first part. For example, if the template 511a has a volume setting of 0, the volume of the score data 313a for the first part will be 0.

The performance parameter application unit 305 also applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b for the practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter application unit 305 then generates score data that reflects the applied performance parameters for the score data 313 for multiple parts corresponding to the score in the score display window 402 of FIG. 4. The score data 313 includes score data 313b for the second part (alto). The mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312b for the second part and the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part are reflected in the score data 313b for the second part. For example, if the template 511b is set to no volume change, the volume of the mixer setting data 312b for the second part is reflected in the volume of the score data 313b for the second part.

The performance parameter application unit 305 also applies the performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter application unit 305 then generates score data that reflects the applied performance parameters for the score data 313 for multiple parts corresponding to the score in the score display window 402 of FIG. 4. The score data 313 includes score data 313c for the third part (piano accompaniment). The score data 313c for the third part reflects the mixer setting data (performance parameters) 312c for the third part and the performance parameter template 511c for parts other than the specific practice part and the practice part. For example, if the template 511c is set to no volume change, the volume of the mixer setting data 312c for the third part is reflected in the volume of the score data 313c for the third part.

In step S326, when the user clicks the play button, the audio data generation unit 306 uses the sound source unit 108 to generate audio data based on the score data 313 for multiple parts, reflecting the performance parameters applied in step S325, and plays the audio data using the sound system 114.

As described above, by designating the first part as a specific practice part, the user can play karaoke sheet music data with the volume of the first part set to 0. Furthermore, by designating the second part as a specific practice part, the user can play karaoke sheet music data with the volume of the second part set to 0. In this case, the user does not need to set the volume of the first or second part to 0 in the mixer settings window 401 of Figure 4; simply by designating the specific practice part, the volume of the specific practice part can be set to 0, making operation simple. Furthermore, three types of performance parameters can be set for template 511a, template 511b, and template 511c.

(Third embodiment)
6 is a diagram showing an example of specifying practice parts and saved parts according to the third embodiment. The differences between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments will be explained below. In the mixer setting window 201 of FIG. 2, for example, performance parameters for the first part (soprano), second part (alto), third part (tenor), fourth part (bass), and fifth part (piano accompaniment) can be set.

The user can select a practice part from multiple parts by using the mouse to click on the practice part box for each part. For example, parts 1 through 4 can be selected as practice parts.

The user can also specify one or more practice parts to save by using the mouse to click the save part box for each part. For example, the first and second parts can be specified as saved parts.

First, the performance parameter setting device 100 saves performance parameters in which the first part, which is one of the saved parts, is a specific practice part, the second to fourth parts are practice parts, and the fifth part is a part other than a specific practice part or a practice part.

Next, the performance parameter setting device 100 saves performance parameters in which the second part, which is another of the saved parts, is a specific practice part, the first, third, and fourth parts are practice parts, and the fifth part is a part other than a specific practice part and a practice part.

Figure 7(A) is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a performance parameter setting device 100 according to the third embodiment. Figure 7(A) is a diagram showing the configuration of Figure 3(A) in which the performance parameter application unit 305 has been removed and a saved part designation unit 701, a performance parameter storage unit 702, and a readout unit 703 have been added. The performance parameter setting device 100 has a template generation unit 301, a template selection unit 302, a performance parameter setting unit 303, a practice part designation unit 304, a saved part designation unit 701, a performance parameter storage unit 702, a readout unit 703, and an audio data generation unit 306. When the CPU 102 executes a program, the performance parameter setting device 100 realizes the functions of the template generation unit 301, the template selection unit 302, the performance parameter setting unit 303, the practice part designation unit 304, the saved part designation unit 701, the performance parameter storage unit 702, the readout unit 703, and the audio data generation unit 306.

Figure 7(B) is a diagram showing examples of soprano performance parameters 711 and alto performance parameters 712. Figure 7(C) is a flowchart showing the performance parameter setting method of the performance parameter setting device 100. Figure 7(C) is the same as Figure 3(C) except that step S325 is deleted and steps S721 to S725 are added.

In step S321, the template generation unit 301 generates template 311 shown in FIG. 5(B) in response to user operation and saves template 311 on the hard disk drive. Template 311 includes multiple templates 314 and 315.

In step S322, the template selection unit 302 selects one template from among multiple templates 314 and 315 in response to a user operation.

In step S323, the performance parameter setting unit 303 sets performance parameters for each of the multiple parts of the musical score in the mixer setting window 401 of FIG. 4 in response to user operations. The performance parameter setting unit 303 generates the performance parameter settings in the mixer setting window 401 of FIG. 4 as mixer setting data 312 of FIG. 5(B).

In step S324, the practice part designation unit 304 designates a practice part from among multiple parts in response to a user operation. For example, the practice part designation unit 304 designates the part whose practice part checkbox in Figure 6 is clicked as the practice part. In the case of Figure 6, the practice part designation unit 304 designates parts 1 to 4 as the practice parts.

In step S721, the save part designation unit 701 designates one or more save parts from among the practice parts to be saved as specific practice parts in response to user operation. For example, the save part designation unit 701 designates the part for which the save part checkbox in Figure 6 is clicked as the save part. In the case of Figure 6, the save part designation unit 701 designates the first and second parts as the save parts. When the user instructs saving, processing proceeds to step S722.

In step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets one of the stored parts specified in step S721 as the specific practice part. For example, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets the first part as the specific practice part.

In step S723, the performance parameter storage unit 702 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a for the specific practice part (first part) set in step S323, applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b to 312d for the practice parts (second to fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312e for the specific practice part and part other than the practice part (fifth part) set in step S323, and saves the performance parameters of the multiple parts on the hard disk drive as performance parameters 711 for the first part (soprano) of Figure 7 (B).

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 determines whether processing of all stored parts has been completed. Since the performance parameter storage unit 702 has only completed processing of one of the two stored parts, it returns to step S722.

In step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets another part from the stored parts specified in step S721 as the specific practice part. For example, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets the second part as the specific practice part.

In step S723, the performance parameter storage unit 702 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b of the specific practice part (second part) set in step S323, applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312c, 312d of the practice parts (first, third, and fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312e of the part (fifth part) other than the specific practice part and practice part set in step S323, and saves the performance parameters of the multiple parts on the hard disk drive as performance parameters 712 for the second part (alto) of Figure 7 (B).

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 has completed processing of all of the two stored parts, so it proceeds to step S725.

As described above, the performance parameter storage unit 702 stores the performance parameters of the above-mentioned multiple parts, with each of the storage parts specified in step S721 set as a specific practice part, as soprano performance parameters 711 and alto performance parameters 712, for the number of storage parts specified in step S721.

In step S725, the reading unit 703 selects and reads one of the soprano performance parameters 711 and alto performance parameters 712 saved in step S723 in response to user operation.

In step S326, the audio data generation unit 306 uses the sound source unit 108 to generate audio data based on the score data 313 for multiple parts in Figure 5 (B) that reflects the soprano performance parameters 711 or alto performance parameters 712 read in step S725, and produces audio data using the sound system 114.

Next, another example will be described. The save part check box in Figure 6 can be deleted, the save part designation section 701 in Figure 7(A) can be deleted, and step S721 in Figure 7(C) can be deleted. The processing in this case will be described below.

Steps S321 to S324 are the same as the above process. Then, in step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets one of the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the practice parts are parts 1 to 4, and the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets part 1 as the specific practice part.

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 determines whether processing of all practice parts has been completed. Since the performance parameter storage unit 702 has only completed processing of one of the four practice parts, it returns to step S722.

In step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets the second part as the specific practice part.

In step S723, the performance parameter storage unit 702 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b of the specific practice part (second part) set in step S323, applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312c, 312d of the practice parts (first, third, and fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312e of the part (fifth part) other than the specific practice part and practice part set in step S323, and saves the performance parameters of the multiple parts on the hard disk drive as performance parameters 712 for the second part (alto) of Figure 7 (B).

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 returns to step S722 because it has only completed processing two of the four practice parts.

In step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets the third part as a specific practice part.

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 returns to step S722 because it has only completed processing three of the four practice parts.

In step S722, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the performance parameter storage unit 702 sets the fourth part as a specific practice part.

In step S724, the performance parameter storage unit 702 has completed processing for all four practice parts, so it proceeds to step S725. The processing in steps S725 and S726 is the same as above.

As described above, the performance parameter storage unit 702 stores the performance parameters of the multiple parts specified in step S324, with each of the multiple practice parts designated as a specific practice part, as soprano performance parameters 711, alto performance parameters 712, tenor performance parameters, and bass performance parameters, for the number of practice parts specified in step S324.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 8A is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a performance parameter setting device 100 according to the fourth embodiment. Differences between this embodiment and the first to third embodiments will be described below. In FIG. 8A, the performance parameter storage unit 702, reading unit 703, and audio data generation unit 306 have been removed from FIG. 7A, and an audio data storage unit 801, reading unit 802, and playback unit 803 have been added.

Figure 8(B) shows examples of soprano audio data 811 and alto audio data 812. Figure 8(C) is a flowchart showing the performance parameter setting method of the performance parameter setting device 100. Figure 8(C) is similar to Figure 7(C) in that steps S723, S725, and S326 are deleted and steps S821 to S823 are added.

In step S321, the template generation unit 301 generates template 311 shown in FIG. 5(B) in response to user operation and saves template 311 on the hard disk drive. Template 311 includes multiple templates 314 and 315.

In step S322, the template selection unit 302 selects one template from among multiple templates 314 and 315 in response to a user operation.

In step S721, the save part designation unit 701 designates one or more save parts from among the practice parts to be saved as specific practice parts in response to user operation. For example, the save part designation unit 701 designates the part for which the save part checkbox in Figure 6 is clicked as the save part. In the case of Figure 6, the save part designation unit 701 designates the first and second parts as the save parts. When the user instructs saving, processing proceeds to step S722.

In step S722, the audio data storage unit 801 sets one of the stored parts specified in step S721 as the specific practice part. For example, the audio data storage unit 801 sets the first part as the specific practice part.

In step S821, the audio data storage unit 801 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a of the specific practice part (first part) set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b to 312d of the practice parts (second to fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b to 312d of the practice parts other than the specific practice part set in step S323.

In step S821, the audio data storage unit 801 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b of the specific practice part (second part) set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312c, 312d of the practice parts (first, third, and fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312c, 312d of the practice parts other than the specific practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 is applied to the performance parameters 312e for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part (fifth part) that have been selected, and the sound source unit 108 generates audio data 812 for the second part (alto) of Figure 8(B) based on the score data in which the applied performance parameters for the multiple parts have been reflected in the score data 313 for the multiple parts of Figure 5(B), and saves the alto audio data 812 on the hard disk drive.

In step S724, the audio data storage unit 801 has completed processing of all two stored parts, so it proceeds to step S822.

As described above, the audio data storage unit 801 stores audio data in which each of the storage parts specified in step S721 is set as a specific practice part as soprano audio data 811 and alto audio data 812, for the number of storage parts specified in step S721.

In step S822, the reading unit 802 selects and reads one of the soprano audio data 811 and alto audio data 812 saved in step S821 in response to user operation.

In step S823, the playback unit 803 causes the soprano audio data 811 or alto audio data 812 read in step S822 to be played by the sound system 114.

Next, another example will be described. The save part check box in Figure 6 can be deleted, the save part designation section 701 in Figure 8 (A) can be deleted, and step S721 in Figure 8 (C) can be deleted. The processing in this case will be described below.

Steps S321 to S324 are the same as the above process. Then, in step S722, the audio data storage unit 801 sets one of the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the practice parts are parts 1 to 4, and the audio data storage unit 801 sets part 1 as the specific practice part.

In step S821, the audio data storage unit 801 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a of the specific practice part (first part) set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b to 312d of the practice parts (second to fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312b to 312d of the practice parts other than the specific practice part set in step S323.

In step S724, the audio data storage unit 801 determines whether processing of all practice parts has been completed. Since the audio data storage unit 801 has only completed processing of one of the four practice parts, it returns to step S722.

In step S722, the audio data storage unit 801 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the audio data storage unit 801 sets the second part as the specific practice part.

The performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 is applied to the performance parameters 312e for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part (fifth part) that have been selected, and the sound source unit 108 generates audio data 812 for the second part (alto) of Figure 8(B) based on the score data in which the applied performance parameters for the multiple parts have been reflected in the score data 313 for the multiple parts of Figure 5(B), and saves the alto audio data 812 on the hard disk drive.

In step S724, the audio data storage unit 801 returns to step S722 because it has only completed processing two of the four practice parts.

In step S722, the audio data storage unit 801 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the audio data storage unit 801 sets the third part as a specific practice part.

In step S821, the audio data storage unit 801 applies the performance parameter template 511a for the specific practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312c of the specific practice part (third part) set in step S323, and applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312b, 312d of the practice parts (first, second, and fourth parts) other than the specific practice part set in step S323, and then applies the performance parameter template 511b for the practice part selected in step S322 to the performance parameters 312a, 312b, 312d of the practice parts other than the specific practice part set in step S323. The performance parameter template 511c for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part selected in step S322 is applied to the performance parameters 312e for the specific practice part and parts other than the practice part (fifth part) set in step S323, and using the sound source unit 108, audio data for the third part (tenor) is generated based on the score data in which the applied performance parameters for the multiple parts are reflected in the score data 313 for the multiple parts in Figure 5 (B), and the audio data for the tenor is saved on the hard disk drive.

In step S724, the audio data storage unit 801 has only completed processing three of the four practice parts, so it returns to step S722.

In step S722, the audio data storage unit 801 sets another part from the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part. For example, the audio data storage unit 801 sets the fourth part as a specific practice part.

In step S724, the audio data storage unit 801 has completed processing for all four practice parts, so it proceeds to step S822. The processing of steps S822 and S823 is the same as above.

As described above, the audio data storage unit 801 stores audio data for each of the practice parts specified in step S324 as a specific practice part, as soprano audio data 811, alto audio data 812, tenor audio data, and bass audio data, for the number of practice parts specified in step S324.
