Musical performance device, method for controlling musical performance device and program storage medium
First Claim
1. A musical performance device comprising:
- a musical performance component which is operated by a player;
a position detecting section which detects a position of the musical performance component on a virtual plane where the musical performance component is operated;
a selecting section which selects layout information from among plural types of layout information including a plurality of areas arranged on the virtual plane and musical tones respectively associated with the plurality of areas;
a judging section which judges whether the position of the musical performance component is within one of the plurality of areas arranged based on currently-selected layout information selected by the selecting section, when a certain music-playing operation is performed by the musical performance component; and
a sound generation instructing section which, when the judging section judges that the position of the musical performance component is within one area of the plurality of areas, gives an instruction to emit a musical sound of a musical tone associated with the one area,wherein the plural types of layout information respectively include information regarding a predetermined area other than the plurality of areas, andwherein the selecting section selects layout information other than the currently-selected layout information from among the plural types of layout information, when the certain music-playing operation is performed by the musical performance component and the position of the musical performance component is within the predetermined area.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a musical performance device by which layout information, such as information regarding the arrangement of a virtual musical instrument set, can be quickly and easily changed during musical performance and whereby the variety of musical performance can be increased. In the present invention, a CPU identifies a musical tone associated with a virtual pad in an area where the position coordinates of a marker section are located in an image captured by a camera unit section at a shot timing by a drumstick section, and emits the identified musical tone. When the position coordinates of the marker section in an image captured at a shot timing are within the area of a control pad on a virtual plane, the CPU switches processing target set layout information to other set layout information among a plurality of set layout information.
