Automatic player musical instruments and automatic playing system incorporated therein

摘要

While an automatic player piano is reenacting a music tune, the automatic player piano sometimes misses a tone or tones in a repetition due to a high-speed key movement; a controller (91) searches a music data file for a series of key events expressing the repetition, and makes the key movements uniform without changing the lapse of time from the last key event before the repetition and the lapse of time to the first key event after the repetition so that the automatic player piano is less liable to miss a tone.
