A CPU detects an operation state on a fingerboard at a prescribed period, stores the detected operation state in a memory every time an operation state is detected, detects whether or not any of a plurality of extended strings has been struck, determines a pitch of a note to be played based on the operation state stored in the memory in response to a string being struck, and controls a note to be played in a sound source based on the detected operation state and the operation state stored in the memory every time the operation state is detected after a command to play a note of a determined pitch is issued to the sound source.

主权项

1. A music playing device, comprising:
a pitch operation receiver that electrically and continuously monitors and receives a pitch determination operation by a user; a sound commencement operation receiver that electrically receives a sound commencement operation by the user; and a controllable sound source connected to the pitch operation receiver and to the sound commencement operation receiver, the controllable sound source emitting a sound at a time of said sound commencement operation receiver receiving the sound commencement operation by the user at an initial pitch determined by a pitch determination operation that is received by the pitch operation receiver when said sound commencement operation receiver receives the sound commencement operation by the user, the controllable sound sources continuously emitting said sound until a prescribed time is passed or until the user causes the sound commencement operation receiver to receive another sound commencement operation time, whichever occurs first, wherein the controllable sound source modulates the sound during emission thereof based on a subsequent pitch determination operation of the user received by the pitch operation receiver subsequent to reception of said pitch determination operation that determined said initial pitch.
