An elastic body 3 includes through holes 32 connecting upper and lower surfaces thereof. Therefore, compared with a case where the through holes 32 are not formed, a sound produced due to vibration of the elastic body 3 at a time of a percussion to the head 1 can be reduced effectively. Meanwhile, in regions where the through holes 32 are not formed, the vibration at the time of the percussion to the head 1 is propagated to the support part 20 via the elastic body 3 itself. Accordingly, the vibration at the time of the percussion to the head 1 can be propagated to the head sensor S1 via the support part 20. Accordingly, the percussion to the head 1 can be accurately detected, while the percussion sound at the time of the percussion to the head 1 can be reduced.
A sensor for vibration detection is not installed to a second frame 301b, and an upper surface of the second frame 301b is a non-percussion surface not assumed to receive a percussion. Since the second frame 301b is elastically supported by the first frame 301a via the elastic bodies 309a to 309c, at the time of a percussion to a head 202 or a cover 206, the elastic bodies 309a to 309c can attenuate the vibration propagated from the first frame 301a to the second frame 301b. Thus, since the noise produced due to the vibration of the second frame 301b can be suppressed, the performer is allowed a favorable feeling of performance.
An elastic body is attached to a percussion instrument including a body part and a head, the body part having an opening on an upper end side thereof, the head covering the opening of the body part and having attachment holes formed therein. The elastic body includes: a struck part, arranged on an upper surface of the head; insertion parts, protruding downward from the struck part; and a hook part, formed to expand from the insertion parts. In a state in which the insertion parts are inserted into the attachment holes of the head, the hook part is hooked to a lower surface of the head.
A light sensor 19 is provided for detecting a position of a lever 14 (an intermediate position between an initial position and a terminal position of the lever 14) between an ON state and an OFF state of the lever 14, and a musical sound in accordance with the position of the lever 14 detected by the light sensor 19 is generated. That is, in each of the ON state of the lever 14, the OFF state of the lever 14, and the state where the lever 14 is therebetween, different musical sounds are generated when the head 6 is percussed. Therefore, compared with the conventional technique where musical sounds can only be generated based on the ON or OFF state of the lever 14, musical sounds of a greater variety can be generated.
A rubber hoop 6 includes: a to-be-struck part 60 that is disposed on an upper surface of a head 5; a plurality of insertion parts 61a that protrude downward from the to-be-struck part 60; and hook parts 61b that are formed so as to extend from the insertion parts 61a. Since the hook parts 61b are hooked on a lower surface of the head 5 in a state in which the insertion parts 61a are inserted into a plurality of attachment holes 51 of the head 5, a rubber hoop 6 can be attached to the upper surface of the head 5 while making it unnecessary to form a recessed part in a hoop 7 for hooking the rubber hoop 6 as in the prior art. Consequently, since the radial thickness of the hoop 7 can be reduced, the percussion instrument 100 can be miniaturized.
In an electronic drum 1, a head sensor 8 that detects strike to a head 5 and a rim sensor that detects vibration of a rim 6 and a body part 2 are provided. A velocity Vc is calculated based on a peak value Pc of the head sensor 8 detected during a scan time ScT since a beginning of the strike to the head 2 is detected and an energy value Er of the rim sensor 9. The rim sensor 9 detects the vibration of the body part 2 or the rim 6 where the head 5 is provided. Therefore, the sensitivity of the rim sensor 9 with respect to the strike to the peripheral part of the head 5 is higher than the sensitivity of the head sensor 8.
G10H 3/14 - Instruments in which the tones are generated by electromechanical means using mechanical resonant generators, e.g. strings or percussion instruments, the tones of which are picked up by electromechanical transducers, the electrical signals being further manipulated or amplified and subsequently converted to sound by a loudspeaker or equivalent device using mechanically actuated vibrators with pick-up means

An electronic percussion instrument and a hit detection method are provided. Partition parts partition a film part into a plurality of hitting surfaces. A hit sensor is provided on the inner periphery side of each of the plurality of partition parts, and therefore the vibration of a hit against each of the hitting surfaces partitioned by the partition parts can be detected by the hit sensor. Consequently, for example, by generating musical tones of different timbres according to the hit hitting surfaces, various performances become possible compared with when the number of hitting surfaces is one as in the prior art.
G10H 3/14 - Instruments in which the tones are generated by electromechanical means using mechanical resonant generators, e.g. strings or percussion instruments, the tones of which are picked up by electromechanical transducers, the electrical signals being further manipulated or amplified and subsequently converted to sound by a loudspeaker or equivalent device using mechanically actuated vibrators with pick-up means
An outer edge of a base frame 205 protrudes toward an outer circumferential side with respect to an outer edge of an arced part 211 (first frame 301a). Thus, if a vertex P1 of a cover 306 is percussed, the deformation of a lateral cover part 261 toward the lower side can be restricted by the base frame 205. As a result, the generation of friction at a contact portion between an inner circumferential surface of the lateral cover part 261 and an outer circumferential surface 211h of the arced part 211 can be effectively suppressed. Thus, the generation of abrasion at the lateral cover part 261 can be suppressed, so the durability of the cover 306 can be increased.
A sensor installation surface 211b provided at an arced part 211 of a first frame 301a is inclined to descend toward an outer circumferential side, and a vertex P1 of a cover 306 is located between a first virtual line V1 and a second virtual line Vb. Accordingly, even in the case where the vertex P1 of the cover 306 is percussed in an arbitrary direction, the cover 306 (an upper cover part 260) is deformed easily toward an edge sensor S3. Accordingly, the percussion to an edge portion (the cover 306) of the first frame 301a can be accurately detected.
G10H 3/14 - Instruments in which the tones are generated by electromechanical means using mechanical resonant generators, e.g. strings or percussion instruments, the tones of which are picked up by electromechanical transducers, the electrical signals being further manipulated or amplified and subsequently converted to sound by a loudspeaker or equivalent device using mechanically actuated vibrators with pick-up means
G10D 13/10 - Details of, or accessories for, percussion musical instruments
A keyboard device includes: a support member; and keys swingably supported by the support member. One of the support member and the key includes a guide groove guiding swinging of a key rear portion, and the other includes a guide shaft extending in a scale direction, inserted into the guide groove, and sliding along the guide groove when the key swings. The keys comprise white and black keys. When a point where a guide shaft center is positioned in a pre-key-pressed state is a starting point of the guide groove, a point where the guide shaft center is positioned in a state where the key is pressed to an ending edge position is an ending point of the guide groove, and a line connecting the starting and ending points is an angle of the guide groove, the angle of the guide groove differs between the white or black keys.
Since an entire guided surface (from an upper end of an inclined surface to a lower end of a curved surface) faces a guide surface in a scale direction at an initial position before key pressing, even if grease is scraped upward due to swinging of a white, the grease is likely to stay in sliding regions on the guided surfaces. In addition, since a spacing between the guide and guided surfaces gradually widens from the upper end sides to the lower ends of the guided surfaces, even if the guided surfaces slides downward with respect to the guide surface when the white key is pressed, the grease applied to each of the surfaces is unlikely to be scraped off downward. This also makes it easier to retain the grease in the sliding regions on the guided surfaces. Thus, a feeling of pressing the white key can be improved.
Swinging of a rear portion of a white key 2a is guided through sliding between a shaft portion 41 and a guide groove 60, and an attachment member 6 having the guide groove 60 is formed using a soft material having a lower hardness than a resin (for example, an ABS resin) which will become a material of the white key 2a and a chassis 4. Accordingly, for example, compared to when the attachment member 6 is formed using the same material (relatively hard) as the white key 2a and the chassis 4, it is possible to curb occurrence of noise when the guide groove 60 slides along the shaft portion 41 of the chassis 4. Thus, it is possible to give a favorable feeling of playing to a player.
A musical sound processing apparatus includes: a first generation part configured to generate a plurality of first signals in which at least one of a frequency characteristic and a time response of each of a plurality of processing unit signals obtained from a musical sound signal is modified; and a second generation part configured to generate a plurality of second signals in which at least one of a frequency characteristic and a time response of a noise signal associated with one or more of the plurality of processing unit signals is replaced with at least one of a frequency characteristic and a time response of the corresponding first signal.
G10H 7/00 - Instruments in which the tones are synthesised from a data store, e.g. computer organs
G10H 1/04 - Means for controlling the tone frequencies, e.g. attack or decayMeans for producing special musical effects, e.g. vibratos or glissandos by additional modulation
G10H 1/08 - Circuits for establishing the harmonic content of tones by combining tones
A drum patch formed into a sheet shape is adhered to a hitting surface of a drum. Since a first slit and a second slit extending toward a hit region are formed at the outer edge of the drum patch, relatively flexible deformation is possible at the outer edge portion. Accordingly, the slits can absorb deformation in which the outer edge portion of the drum patch rises from the hitting surface when hitting the hit region. Thus, peeling of the drum patch from the hitting surface can be suppressed.
For sound data input from a disk drive 50, a PC 51, and a portable terminal (input source) 52, left and right channels are respectively set to “input system”, and a sound data determination is sequentially performed for each input system. By sequentially switching the input systems of input sources to determine input signals, it is possible to determine the sound data input in each input source, instead of simultaneously determining all the input sources and systems. Accordingly, the processing load at the time of outputting data including audio data or PP data as the sound data from multiple input sources can be reduced.
By controlling key-pressing/key-releasing of keys 2a so a pressed key quantity Np is equal to or less than a maximum pressed key quantity Mp less than a maximum control quantity, the quantity of keys 2a capable of being released among the maximum control quantity Mc can be secured. Accordingly, key-releasing control of keys 2a during key-releasing can continue even when key-pressing is instructed for most keys 2a. Thus, the discomfort of listeners for key-releasing can be reduced. In addition, with keys 2a on which only key-releasing that consumes less power than key-pressing is performed being secured among the keys 2a of the maximum control quantity Mc, the power consumption required by the keyboard 2 during automatic operation is reduced, and the power capacity of an electronic piano 1 can be reduced. Accordingly, the increase in cost with respect to the power source of the electronic piano 1 can be suppressed.

In a video switcher 1, a specified position specified in a composite video Sc by a user H via touch panels 3a and 4a is acquired, and a search range Se is formed based on the specified position. The sides of contents C1 to C3 included in the search range Se are identified as specific sides Ss, and the identified specific sides Ss are aligned. Thus, the user H is allowed to easily align the sides near the specified position, among the sides of the contents C1 to C3 arranged in the composite video Sc, by simply specifying the specified position in the composite video Sc.
A video processing device outputting a composite video in which multiple media data are arranged includes an input terminal, a substitution display memory, and at least one processor. The substitution display memory stores substitution display data for each one of the input terminal. The substitution display data is composed of an image or a video representing a content of the media data that should be inputted in the input terminal. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether the media data has been normally inputted in the input terminal, and acquire the substitution display data corresponding to the input terminal from the substitution display memory and display, in the composite video, the substitution display data acquired corresponding to the input terminal in place of the media data from the input terminal, upon determining that the media data has not been normally inputted in the input terminal.

In the present invention, when a MIDI message is received later than a scheduled output time, the MIDI message is immediately played, and the reception timing of the MIDI message and a time-stamp thereof are reset to a reference time and a reference time-stamp. As a result, because a time difference in terms of playing timing between the subsequent MIDI message and the MIDI message associated with the reference time and the reference time-stamp can be determined based on a time difference between the time-stamps of these MIDI messages, a listener's sense of unnaturalness due to the playing timing of the subsequent MIDI message can be suppressed. In addition, an initial MIDI message is output instantly after the reception thereof such that a time lag between the start of transmission of the MIDI message at a portable terminal 50 and the start of playing at a synthesizer 1 can be suppressed. As a result, the occurrence of a latency between MIDI messages can be suppressed.

KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR FORMING MAGNETIC SHIELD
Magnetic shields 82a, 82b are formed from conductor patterns of a substrate 8. Hence, the magnetic shields 82a, 82b can be formed thin. Thus, even when a displacement member 7 (detection part 75) is displaced substantially in parallel with the substrate 8, key pressing information based on the increase/decrease of inductance of a coil 80 can be detected while suppressing interference of the magnetic shields 82a, 82b with the displacement of the displacement member 7. Also, even when the displacement member 7 (detection part 75) is displaced perpendicularly to the substrate 8, the key pressing information based on the increase/decrease of the inductance of the coil 80 can be detected. Thus, the degree of design freedom of a keyboard instrument 1 is increased. Further, constraints can be suppressed from being imposed on the arrangement of the substrate 8 by forming the magnetic shields 82a, 82b to be thin from the conductor patterns. This also increases the degree of design freedom of the keyboard instrument 1.
Detected parts 8 are provided to displacement members 7 that move in association with white keys 2a and hammers 6. The displacement members 7 can be formed to be smaller than the white keys 2a and the hammers 6, which makes it less likely for there to be error in the dimensions of each displacement member 7. In addition, the displacement members 7 are pivotally supported not on a chassis 4 but on a relatively smaller holder 10 that is attached to a board 9, which makes it less likely for there to be error in the attachment of each displacement member 7. Reducing such dimensional and attachment error makes it easier to achieve a designed value for the clearance between the detected part 8 and a coil 90 at each key 2. This makes it possible to accurately detect key depression information for each key 2.
A holder 10 is formed by base parts 11a of to-be-attached parts 11 being connected together by means of flat-plate-like connecting parts 11b, 11c. Accordingly, the to-be-attached parts 11 (connecting parts 11b, 11c) can be flexed in a state before the holder 10 is fixed to a substrate 9. By bending the to-be-attached parts 11, shaft parts 13 formed on wall parts 12 can be easily inserted into insertion holes 71 of displacement members 7 because opposing intervals between the shaft parts 13 can be widened slightly. Accordingly, the workability of attachment work for the displacement members 7 can be improved. After the displacement members 7 are supported on the holder 10, the widening (the to-be-attached parts 11 are bent) of the opposing intervals between the shaft parts 13 of the wall parts 12 can be suppressed by fixing the holder 10 to the substrate 9 that has a greater stiffness than the holder 10. Accordingly, falling of the displacement members 7 from the holder 10 can be suppressed.
A front surface 73 of a displacement member 7 is covered by a front surface portion 81 which is bent from a facing portion 80 of a part 8 to be detected. It is thus possible to ensure a large vertical width of the front surface portion 81 even when the thickness of the part 8 to be detected is thin. Since it is possible to disperse the concentration of lines of magnetic force by ensuring the large vertical width of the front surface portion 81, it is possible to reduce overshoot of a sensor output. That is, it is possible to reduce the overshoot of the sensor output without using a metal plate which has a large thickness such as that of a conventional one. Therefore, key press information can be accurately detected while also suppressing an increase in weight and an increase in cost of the keyboard device 1.
A keyboard device and a key depression information detecting method are provided. The keyboard device includes: a coil generating a magnetic field; a displacement member having an outer surface and displaced at a position facing the coil during key depression; and a conductor provided on the displacement member. The conductor includes: a facing portion covering the outer surface of the displacement member to face the coil during key depression; and a front surface portion connected to the facing portion and covering an outer surface of the displacement member which is directed to a front side in a displacement direction of the displacement member.

Since this second frame 301b is elastically supported by a first frame 301a via elastic bodies 309a to 309c, vibration that is transmitted from the first frame 301a to the second frame 301b when a head 202 and a cover 206 are struck can be damped by the elastic bodies 309a to 309c. Consequently, the occurrence of noise due to vibration of the second frame 301b can be suppressed, thereby making it possible to give a player a good playing feeling.
Since an elastic body 3 is provided with a through-hole 32 that connects the upper surface and the lower surface thereof, a sound generated by vibration of the elastic body 3 when a head 1 is struck can be effectively reduced compared to when the through-hole 32 is not formed. Meanwhile, in a region where the through-hole 32 is not formed, vibration generated when the head 1 is struck is transmitted to a support part 20 through the elastic body 3 itself. Accordingly, the vibration generated when the head 1 is struck can be transmitted to a head sensor S1 through the support part 20. Consequently, a strike on the head 1 can be accurately detected while reducing a striking sound generated when the head 1 is struck.

PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR REDUCING VOLUME OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT
Provided are: a percussion instrument which can reproduce the tone of an acoustic drum while reducing the volume of the percussion instrument; and a method for reducing the volume of the percussion instrument. A disc-shaped sound absorbing material 7 is joined (bonded) at the outer edge thereof to the inner circumferential surface of a trunk 2 in a state where a portion between a striking head 3 and a resonance head 4 is partitioned. Thus, vibration (striking sound), propagated below during striking on the striking head 3, enters the porous sound absorbing material 7 to be dampened therein. At this time, moderate vibration is transmitted to the resonance head 4 as well due to the vibration of the sound absorbing material 7, and thus the resonance head 4 is enabled to resonate. Therefore, by absorbing a sound generated when the striking head 3 is struck by the sound absorbing material 7 and enabling the resonance head 4 to resonate, it is possible to reproduce a tone of an acoustic drum while reducing the volume of a percussion instrument 1.
