Abstract

A game system includes: a game music storage device for storing music data corresponding to music to be reproduced in a predetermined scene during a game; a game control device for executing a game based on a predetermined game program and for reading out the music data of the game from the game music storage device and outputting the read-out music data; and a music reproducing device for reproducing the music data of the game outputted by the game control device, wherein the game control device comprises a music data producing means for producing a new music data different in arrangement, based on the music data, and outputting the produced music data to the music reproducing device.

Claims

1. A game system comprising:

a game music storage device for storing music data corresponding to music to be reproduced in a predetermined scene during a game;

a game control device for executing a game based on a predetermined game program and for reading out the music data of the game from the game music storage device and outputting the read-out music data; and

a music reproducing device for reproducing the music data of the game outputted by the game control device,

wherein the game control device comprises a music data producing means for producing a new music data different in arrangement, based on the music data, and outputting the produced music data to the music reproducing device.

2. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the music data includes at least one kind of music part data and the more, and

the game control device adds the data of another music part to the music data, and generates a new music data different in arrangement.

3. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the music data includes several kinds of music part data,

and the game control device removes the data of a music part from the music data, and generates a new music data different in arrangement.

4. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device changes the tempo of the sound of the music data, and generates new music data different in arrangement.

5. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device changes the rhythm of sound of the music data, and generates new music data different in arrangement.

6. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device changes keys of the sound of the music data, and generates new music data different in arrangement.

7. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device changes the scale of the music data, and generates new music data different in arrangement.

8. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device shifts up the music data by half scale, and generates new music data different in arrangement.

9. A game system according to

claim 1

, wherein the game control device shifts up the music data by half scale in every predetermined section of the game, and generates a new music data different in arrangement.

10. A game system according to one of

claims 1

to

9

, wherein the game system includes a small-size portable game system.

11. A computer readable storage medium carrying a game program which executes a game and reads out and outputs the read-out music data, and the program controls the computer to function as a music data producing means f or producing a new music data different in arrangement based on the music data and reproducing the generate d music data.

12. A game system comprising:

a game music storage device for storing music data corresponding to music to be reproduced in a predetermined scene during a game;

a game control device for executing a game based on a predetermined game program and for reading out the music data of the game from the game music storage device and outputting the read-out music data; and

a music reproducing device for reproducing the music data of the game outputted by the game control device,

wherein the game control device comprises a music data producing means for producing a new music data, shifted up the music data by half scale and outputting the generated music data to the music reproducing device.

13. A game system according to

claim 12

, wherein the game control device shifts up the music data by half scale in every predetermined section, and generates a new music data.

14. A game system according to

claim 12

, or 13, wherein the game system includes be a small-size portable game system.

15. A computer readable storage medium carrying a game program which executes a game and reads out and outputs the read-out music data, and the program controls the computer to function as a music data producing means for producing a new music data shifted up the music data by half scale and reproducing the generated music data.
