1. A control system comprising:

  • a receiver adapted to receive detection data transmitted from a motion detector provided for movement with a performer, the detection data being time-serial detection data time-serially representing a state of a motion of the performer detected via a sensor that is included in said motion detector moving with the performer;

    a performance apparatus adapted to carry out a performance of a tone on the basis of performance data;

    an analyzer coupled with said receiver and adapted to analyze the motion of the performer on the basis of the detection data and thereby generate a plurality of analyzed data, wherein said analyzer analyzes a time-varying waveform corresponding to the time-serial detection data and generates a plurality of kinds of characteristic parameters pertaining to a shape of the time-varying waveform; and

    a controller coupled with said performance apparatus and said analyzer and adapted to control the performance of a tone by said performance apparatus in accordance with said plurality of kinds of characteristic parameters.
