Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

The present invention reproduces and reproduces the performance sound of a performance part excluding the solo instrument in a music composition composed or arranged for a solo instrument and a plurality of other musical instruments, and plays the solo instrument together with the reproduced performance sound. , An instrumental solo method using an accompaniment video tape of an acoustic / image recording medium provided for the purpose of practicing, learning, and showing performance of the musical piece.

[Prior art]

For those who study melody musical instruments, regardless of whether they belong to a band or orchestra where they are active, they practice or play their favorite songs (including large pieces and small pieces) with full accompaniment. The desire to want is very strong. By the way, karaoke for singing is currently in full swing in the streets, and the demand and type of karaoke are growing at a momentum, but instruments for solo instrumental music including classical music are still popular in the market. Not not. As described above, the most difficult reason why karaoke for instrumental music has not spread is the difficulty of playing. In other words, regardless of whether or not there is a playing technique, there is no basis for playing in synchronization with the playing sound, such as various timings such as the start of playing, tempo, changes in tempo, degree of sound extension, etc. That is, regardless of whether it is a beginner or an advanced player, there are songs that are difficult to play along with the reproduced performance sound. Not only that, there are many songs that are completely impossible. Also, what is currently seen in the market as Music Minus One is one of the above problems, in order to make it easier to match various timings and tempos such as the start of performance,
A sound similar to the beat of a metronome, 1-2 of the beginning of the song
Most of them are designed so that they can be heard before about a bar, and even for unaccompanied solo (solo) phrases, they are also designed so that the beat can be heard as a means of indicating the tempo. is there. Furthermore, some of the unaccompanied solo (solo) phrases are devised so that the corresponding melody can be heard only slightly. However, with this method, you can hear sounds other than the performance sound, or you can hear the same melody as the solo melody, apart from the case where it is used for practicing, so that it sounds like a concert. You can't expect a performance that is exposed to a third party. Therefore, the practical range is limited to practice only, and it is not possible to provide the user with a satisfactory sense of utility value. Moreover, not only that, but also the user cannot get a sufficient feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment in the performance. As long as you hear a sound other than the actual performance sound, such as a beating sound, or you can hear the melody that you play by yourself, even if it is slightly duplicated, you cannot solve these problems. However, if instrumental karaoke (Music Minus One) can be performed sufficiently accurately and easily without these existences, it is possible to perform to a third party with a high degree of satisfaction and practical value. Is it possible to provide users with a utility value that enables high performance? The present invention has been made in view of the above points. Therefore, in the present invention, it is a general premise that no sound other than the actual accompaniment performance sound, such as mechanical beat sound and faintly heard model performance, exists from the beginning.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows. Even with the conventional Music Minus One method, there are many songs that cannot be played by the accompaniment sound played back and perfectly, even if the song is relatively technically difficult for beginners. What should be done about these songs so that regardless of whether they are beginners or advanced players, they can easily and surely perform together with the playback accompaniment sound. Of course, a beginner can only play as a beginner, and an advanced player can play as an advanced player. However, the problem in the conventional Music Minus One is not related to such performance technique, but is a problem that it is impossible to match the tempo and timing of the accompaniment sound reproduced. Specifically, the music has the following elements. A. A song in which a solo part and other parts start at the same time. (How do you know the timing to start a solo at the same time as the playback accompaniment sound and perfect?) B. A song that starts from a solo with no accompaniment. In other words, when playing solo with a phrase that does not have a playback accompaniment sound.
(Which timing and which tempo should be performed in order to play the accompaniment sound that always starts after a certain period of time and the timing is exactly the same.) C. Fermata (extends the same note for a long time) is specified. The degree to which the sound of the existing notes is extended. (The degree of extension must match that of the playback accompaniment sound. In addition, when playing a solo accompaniment without playback accompaniment sound, the amount of extension must be adjusted to match the timing when the playback accompaniment sound starts later. Is it okay?) D. A song with extreme tempo changes (Agogik) specified. (How can I make a solo by matching the tempo change with the playback accompaniment sound and exactly?) E. A musical piece having a phrase in which the solo instrument part and the other parts are played alternately. (When the ending phrase of the solo participation is the beginning of the accompaniment sound to be played, at what tempo must be performed to match this timing exactly.) A song by F. Cadenza. (In the solo performance, it is common for the orchestra to start at the end of the cadenza. What should I do to play the cadenza when the timing is exactly the same?) These factors A to F are deeply pursued. Then, in each case, the problem exists in the temporal flow. Upon further careful consideration, he realized that it was difficult or impossible to recognize the beat points of each beat to be played alone. However, if you think carefully, simply recognizing the beat point of each beat is the simultaneous recognition, and in order to match the timing with the accompaniment sound played back, the solo performance will be delayed for a moment,
I found that it was insufficient. In other words, it was concluded that the recognition of each beat point to be played alone must be pre-recognition with a moment of leeway from the recognition to the production of the performance sound. In other words, the only issue to be solved is the method of prior recognition of each beat point to be played alone. In view of these problems, the present invention eliminates the fundamental defects of the conventional music minus one, and provides a musical instrument playing method using an accompaniment video tape or the like that can be played in synchronization with the playing accompaniment. It is intended to be provided.

[Means for solving the problem]

The solution of the above-mentioned problems is achieved by adopting a novel characteristic construction method that derives a unique action from the combination of the following methods. First of all, in the sound recording area of the acoustic image recording medium, the performance sounds of a plurality of other musical instruments except the part to be played of the solo instrument are recorded. Second, in the video recording area of the acoustic image recording medium,
The beat points of the next performance sound were captured in advance by the conductor's tact, the movement of the upper body including hand movements and finger movements, which is a guideline for the performance of the song, and the facial expression and continuous continuous movements. The entire front conducting image is recorded at all times during the performance. Thirdly, a reproducing device for normally reproducing the acoustic image recording medium, a display device for displaying a video signal as an image, a speaker for uttering an acoustic signal as sound, and devices for effectively operating these. Prepare and make them function according to the purpose of use. Fourth, the solo participant completely follows the moving image conductor of the conductor on the display screen, that is, the solo part of the musical composition, that is, the musical composition composed or arranged for the solo musical instrument and other musical instruments. The solo performance is performed, and the performance of the music is completed by performing together with the replay performance sound of the orchestra etc. emitted from the speaker. In addition, in order to attract the interest of infants and children, the beat point of the next performance sound is pre-set by the conductor's tact, upper body movements including hand and finger movements, facial expressions and continuous synthetic movements of the eyes. Animate the front command video, etc., which is recognizable freely.

[Action]

Since the present invention takes the novel characteristic construction method as described above, it brings the following effects to the user of the present invention. 1.Because the conductor can play solo while watching the front video, the solo participant can recognize the beat points to be soloed in advance from all the behaviors in front of the conductor through the continuous motion video with emotion. You can easily and accurately grasp any solo performance. 2. The user will perform the solo by seeing the same conducting action as the performer of the reproduced sound. In other words, they can play solo in the same position. 3.Since the user has to perform solo by watching the conductor's video, there is a designation of tempo, timing, tempo change, fermata, etc. based on the conductor's musical interpretation, concept, thought, and conducting method. It is absolutely influenced by instructions and transmissions including temporal elements such as the degree to which notes are extended. 4. Since the user has to perform solo by watching the conductor's video, the size of the performer based on the conductor's musical interpretation, concept, thought, and conducting method, and the change in the size of the performer ( (Dynamic), articulation, phrasing, etc. are influenced to a certain extent by performance expression methods that do not include time elements. 5. In Music Minus One, which does not have a conventional conductor image, the beat point must be recognized only by the performance sound, but by using the conductor motion image of continuous motion, there is no reproduction performance sound. As in the case of a solo position, from the conducting image, and in the case of a playing position where there is replay sound, from the conducting image and the replay sound, the advance recognition of each beat point is extremely reliable both visually and auditorily. Easily possible. Therefore, the solo performance naturally has an internal margin.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, it includes performance of musical instruments excluding solo parts of songs composed or arranged for solo instruments and other musical instruments, tact of conductor α who conducts the musical composition, movement of hands and movements of fingers. A sound image recording medium, that is, an accompaniment video tape, etc., which is always recorded during the performance of the front conductor image in which the beat of the next performer is freely recognized in advance by the continuous comprehensive movements of upper body movements, facial expressions, and eye movements. Prepare in advance. Next, the accompaniment video tape 1 is set in the acoustic image reproduction device 2 so that the image reproduction signal can be displayed on the screen 3a of the display 3 such as a television, and the acoustic reproduction signal can be reproduced by the stereo speakers 4 and 5. Be able to pronounce at an appropriate volume. Then, the instrumental solo player puts the musical score on the side as necessary, and prepares for the performance of the solo instrument. Of course, the score is not necessary for solo performance by memorization. Also, during this period, prepare to play the solo piece immediately. That is, while the image is being reproduced, the pause state is set just before the target music starts. After all preparations for the solo performance are made, the start button switch 6 of the acoustic image reproducing apparatus is turned on. The solo participant is to perform all command actions such as waving of the arms and fingers, movements of the fingers, etc., including the conductor rod β of the conductor α of the continuous moving image displayed on the display screen 3a, facial expressions and eye distribution,
While watching all the behaviors such as posture and orientation, they perform solo and perform in concert with the reproduced accompaniment performance such as the orchestra sounded from the stereo speakers 4 and 5. Various timings for playing solo in synchronization with the playback accompaniment sound, such as the timing of performance start, various timings with the playback accompaniment sound, tempo, change in tempo, sound of a fermata that extends the sound for a long time, degree of sound extension, etc. Regarding the recognition element in advance or during the performance, when the solo part is a completely unaccompanied phrase in which there is no accompaniment sound to be reproduced, the solo participant does not include all conductors such as the conductor rod β of the conductor α. Play only according to the faithful movements. In addition, at the performance location where the reproduction accompaniment sound exists, the reproduction accompaniment sound is used as a base to perform the solo performance based on both the movements of the conductor .alpha. Furthermore, regarding various expression methods that do not belong to the category of the temporal flow such as the size of the player performing the solo, its change, articulation, phrasing, etc. As a reference, the solo participant will exercise his or her ability to the fullest extent and perform the solo performance according to the ability.

【The invention's effect】

Thus, according to the present invention, when performing co-starring with the reproduced sound, it is inevitable that the conductor's tact, the waving of both arms and the movements of the fingers are included in the facial expression, eye distribution, posture, orientation, and the entire upper body. Since the behavior will be performed while watching the front conductor image of the continuous moving image that freely captures the beat point of the next performance sound in advance, 1. Pre-determine the exact beat point of all the notes of the song It has become much easier to recognize. As a result, 2. Even if the music to be played and the part to be played at the same time are started at the same time, it is possible to perform the music with the timing to be played and the sound to be played with sufficient time to prepare the standby time structure. 3. It is very easy for the participating parts to understand when, at what timing, and at what tempo even the song that starts before the playback sound can be understood very easily, and with confidence and margin at the start time and the performance itself. You can execute properly as directed. Therefore, even if the reproduction performance sound starts thereafter, it is possible to perform a natural performance in time. 4. Playback performance With a phrase that does not have acoustics, a song that starts with a solo performance of only the solo participation part (for example, when the beginning of the song is an unaccompanied solo phrase), when, at what timing, at what tempo It is extremely easy to understand whether or not to play, and it is possible to execute the start timing and the performance itself with confidence, with confidence, and in accordance with the command. Therefore,
After that, even if the phrase of the replay sound is started, it is possible to perform a natural performance with the right timing. 5. In the music with the above 1 to 4 patterns, the conventional method is a mechanical beat like a metronome,
With a model performance that was devised so that it sounds faint,
What was used as a means to grasp the timing and tempo,
It becomes possible to grasp the timing and tempo easily and surely without them, and it is highly satisfying performance that you can show your full ability and show the performance to a third party. It became possible to obtain utility value. 6. In a musical performance participation phrase in which a fermata or the like is specified to extend a note or a plurality of notes,
The length of each note can be played accurately, and it can match exactly with the playback performance sound in the situation where the playback performance sound exists, and in the absence of it, the timing can be easily matched with the subsequent playback performance sound. You can 7. Even in the case of a short cadenza song, it is possible to naturally play the end and the beginning of the replay sound by playing along with the conductor of the continuous moving image. Became. 8. For songs with a full-scale cadenza, "Cadenza start → Pause while image playback → Fast forward → Conductor α's baton β is placed in a preliminary position just before the end of the cadenza, Pause again at the beginning of the preparatory exercise → Turn on the start switch again in time with the beat of the last beat of the end of the cadenza. "
That made it possible. 9. Thus, according to the present invention, conventional music
With Minus One, it is now possible to easily match the timing, tempo, etc. of a piece of music that could not be played at exactly the same timing and tempo as the playing sound. Therefore, the number of target songs that can be co-starred along with the replay sound has increased dramatically. This is the most remarkable effect of the present invention. 10. Playback performance Since the performance is performed by looking at the same conductor as the sound performer, in addition to the performance start timing, tempo, tempo change, degree of beat extension, etc. Of various playing methods and expressions such as the degree of sound, articulation, and how to inflate the performance, it becomes possible to perform a performance that matches or is balanced with the reproduced sound. There is a commonality in the concept, and you can perform a sophisticated performance. Therefore, the user can have the same satisfaction as playing with an actual orchestra. 11. Reproduction performance Since the performance is performed by looking at the same conductor as the sound performer, the performance naturally creates a sense of unity, and it is possible to perform with a musically organized concept. In other words, it became possible to perform the best performance within the constraint of co-starring with the replay sound. 12. Emotional expression Playing (participating) by looking at the front conducting video of a continuous moving image allows you to feel as if you were playing as a member of an actual orchestra with the actual conducting, and the same sense of presence as at that time. You can feel the tension on your skin. 13. Playback performance With the constraint of co-starring with sound, extremely high quality performance is possible, so not only practice but also
You can show it to a third party. That is, a concert is possible. 14. By using the present invention, the user can become accustomed to what is called performance in which he or she unknowingly follows the command. This is incredibly useful when I have the opportunity to play as a member of a real orchestra. This is because the method of the present invention is forced to learn by mastering the habit of mastering without knowing the training that responds quickly and promptly to each move of the conductor. 15. By using the present invention, the user can unknowingly understand the role of command and the meaning of command action, that is, the content of communication. At the same time, it becomes possible to know the variety of conducting methods and their specific mechanisms.
For example, it is possible to understand and practice the knowledge that the waltz is shaken in one beat, how to grasp the waltz rhythm in that beat, and so on. 16. Singing at karaoke feels good to many people. It is also true that this is done in instrumental music. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention makes it possible to perform instrumental karaoke that could not be achieved so far, various musical pieces, various musical instruments, and advanced co-starring in the best use environment, and a portable acoustic image reproducing device. With a power supply, it was able to be executed anytime, anywhere. 17. According to the present invention, it is possible to participate in the same song by various solo instruments. At this time, for musical instruments with different tones, it is sufficient to transpose and copy the solo part in advance. Not only that, but if the music is an arrangement of a voice music, it is possible to perform solo and concert as so-called karaoke by vocal music. 18. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily provide an opportunity to those who have had the desire to perform solo with a full-scale accompaniment such as an orchestra but have not been given the opportunity, and those people can easily provide it. I got to experience it. 19. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily perform the solo accompaniment together with the reproduced accompaniment performance and perfect reproduction, so that the practice effect is remarkable. 20. When performing instrumental karaoke, playing while grasping the tempo with a mechanical beat sound similar to a metronome is a practice, but it is inevitable to remember a kind of emptiness. It is also true that even in the performance of an unaccompanied solo (single) phrase, a model performance can be heard even if only slightly. Even if a means to appeal to the eyes is developed in order to solve it, for example, still display means formed from a score of an emotionless still image, symbols, numbers, codes, figures, etc. If the expressionless transmission method is a simple expressionless flashing display means with a constant period such as tempo, a mechanical robot performance that follows the inorganic display, a dry dry forced performance that must follow Is it possible to get enough satisfaction? The present invention, even though the display screen, changes the timing, tempo, and tempo of the performance through the conductor and the performer, the person to person, the mind to the mind of the continuous moving image. ,
Stop beats (beats in notes where fermata is specified)
The performance of the song, articulation, etc., is to grasp concretely all of the numerous performance information necessary for playing, or to feel abstractly.
The method itself is the actual situation at the time of performance. Nonetheless, the level of improvement gradually deepens the level of understanding of the performance information, and the effort is made to bring out the training of the performance technique in accordance with it, which inspires a challenging spirit toward a more firm performance. 21. It is an exaggeration to say that the present invention provides a completely new and fun-filled new way of working for instrumental lovers who learn, practice and play musical instruments. is not. 22. The present invention contributes to the increase in the number of instrumental music players, the improvement of amateur skills, the spread of instrumental music karaoke, etc., because the method for instrumental music karaoke is perfect and superior to any other method. It is possible. As described above, the present invention makes full use of various remarkable effects that have not existed until now, under the constraint of co-starring with reproduced sound.
