Claims
- 1. A musical tone control apparatus comprising:
- (a) detecting means for detecting position on a player to which a certain pressure is given by touching or beating movement, wherein said detecting means includes a plurality of touch switches which are mounted at several portions of the player and activated when a predetermined pressure is given thereto, said touch switches being electrically arranged in a matrix, and means for scanning said switches at a predetermined cycle so that a coordinate of a touch switch to which the predetermined pressure is applied is detected; and
- (b) means for generating musical tone control data based on a detecting result of said detecting means, said musical tone control data controlling a musical tone signal.
- 2. A musical tone control apparatus comprising:
- (a) detecting means for detecting a value of a pressure given to a certain portion of a player by his touching or beating movement, wherein said detecting means includes a plurality of conductive rubber portions each having a resistance which varies in response to a pressure given thereto, said detecting means detecting the value of the pressure given to said conductive rubber portion based on a resistance variation of said conductive rubber portion; and
- (b) means for generating musical tone control data based on a detecting result of said detecting means, said musical tone control data controlling a musical tone signal.
- 3. A musical tone control apparatus comprising:
- (a) detecting means for detecting a vibrational tone generated from a player by his touching or beating movement wherein said detecting means includes a plurality of bone conduction microphones each picking up vibration, said bone conduction microphones being mounted at predetermined portions of the player adjacent to bones of the player's body; and
- (b) means for generating musical tone control data based on a detecting result of said detecting means, said musical tone control data controlling a musical tone signal.
