Automatic accompaniment generating apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An automatic accompaniment generating apparatus comprising:
- a supply unit adapted to supply automatic accompaniment pattern data;
an input unit adapted to input at least one piece of note information including tone pitch information;
a generation unit adapted to generate automatic accompaniment data only based on the note information input by said input unit and the automatic accompaniment pattern data supplied by said supply unit; and
an acquisition unit adapted to acquire number-of-times information that indicates a number of times the supplied automatic accompaniment pattern data is to be repeatedly used by said generation unit to generate the automatic accompaniment data,wherein said generation unit stops generating the automatic accompaniment data after the supplied automatic accompaniment pattern data is repeatedly generated the number of times indicated by the number-of-times information acquired by said acquisition unit, even while the at least one piece of note information is continuously input, andwherein the number-of-times information comprises any natural number.

Abstract
An automatic accompaniment generating apparatus capable of generating automatic accompaniment as intended by a user. In an arpeggio sounding data generation mode, when key depression tones are input by a user'"'"'s key depression operation after arpeggio pattern data is selected and a loop count is set to a value of “1” by the user, the sounding of the key depression tones is started, and the generation of a sounding data list is started based on the tone pitches of the key depression tones and sounding pattern data included in the selected arpeggio pattern data. In the case of the loop count being set to “1”, the reproduction of the sounding data list is completed at the end of one bar, and thereafter only the key depression tones are sounded until a key release operation is performed by the user.

6. An automatic accompaniment generating method comprising:
-
a supply step of supplying automatic accompaniment pattern data; a generation step of generating automatic accompaniment data based on only at least one piece of input note information including tone pitch information and the automatic accompaniment pattern data supplied in said supply step; and an acquisition step of acquiring number-of-times information that indicates a number of times the supplied automatic accompaniment pattern data is to be repeatedly used in said generation step to generate the automatic accompaniment data, wherein said generation step stops generating the automatic accompaniment data after the supplied automatic accompaniment pattern data is repeatedly generated the number of times indicated by the number-of-times information acquired in said acquisition step, even while the at least one piece of note information is continuously input, and wherein the number-of-times information comprises a real number. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
