Tone color setting apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A tone color setting apparatus comprising:
- a performance input section that inputs performance data based on a performance by a user;
a tendency extraction section that extracts a performance tendency of the user from the performance data inputted via said performance input section;
a feeling detection section that generates feeling information indicative of a mood or feeling of the user presumed on the basis of the performance tendency extracted by said tendency extraction section;
a storage section having tone color control information prestored therein in association with a plurality of kinds of feeling information;
an acquisition section that acquires, from said storage section, tone color control information corresponding to the feeling information generated by said feeling detection section; and
a tone color setting section that sets a tone color parameter on the basis of the tone color control information acquired by said acquisition section.

Abstract
As the user executes a performance on a preliminary or trial basis, performance data based on the user'"'"'s performance are evaluated, a performance tendency of the user is extracted as a result of the extraction, and then, performance tendency information, indicative of the extracted performance tendency, is generated. Psychological state, such as a mood or feeling, of the user is detected from the performance tendency, and feeling information, indicative of the detected psychological state, is generated. Then, tone color control information corresponding to the generated feeling information is acquired from a storage section, such as a “mood/feeling” vs. tone color control” correspondence table, the acquired tone color control information is delivered to a tone generator, and desired tone color parameters are set on the basis of the tone color control information. The thus-set tone color parameters will be used for tone color control of performance data generated as the user subsequently executes an actual, formal performance.

9. A tone color setting method comprising:
-
a step of inputting performance data based on a performance by a user; a step of extracting a performance tendency of the user from the performance data inputted via said step of inputting; a step of generating feeling information indicative of a mood or feeling of the user presumed on the basis of the performance tendency extracted by said step of extracting; a step of acquiring tone color control information corresponding to the feeling information generated by said step of generating; and a step of setting a tone color parameter on the basis of the tone color control information acquired by said step of acquiring.

10. A computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, containing a group of instructions for causing a computer to perform a tone color setting method, said tone color setting method comprising:
-
a step of inputting performance data based on a performance by a user; a step of extracting a performance tendency of the user from the performance data inputted by said step of inputting; a step of generating feeling information indicative of a mood or feeling of the user presumed on the basis of the performance tendency extracted by said step of extracting; a step of acquiring tone color control information corresponding to the feeling information generated by said step of generating; and a step of setting a tone color parameter on the basis of the tone color control information acquired by said step of acquiring.
