Electronic musical instrument for generating musical tone approximate to acoustic instrument for generating a sustaining tone, and musical tone control apparatus used in this electronic musical instrument

摘要

An electronic musical instrument suitable for synthesizing musical tones, comprises a musical tone control apparatus for generating velocity data and a musical tone generator for generating a musical tone signal having musical tone characteristics according to the velocity data. The musical tone control apparatus comprises an operation member which can be movably operated, a detector for detecting operation data according to an operation position or displacement amount of the operation member along its moving direction, a conversion memory for converting the operation data outputted from the detector into velocity data, and a control circuit for controlling musical tone characteristics on the basis of the velocity data outputted from the conversion memory.
