Electronic musical instrument having a voice-inputting function
First Claim
1. An electronic musical instrument having a voice-inputting function, comprising:
- voice information-inputting means for inputting voice information;
performance information-inputting means for inputting performance information;
performance data-storing means for storing performance data;
readout means for sequentially reading out each item of said performance data stored in said performance data-storing means;
comparing means for comparing at least one of said voice information input by said voice information-inputting means and said performance information input by said performance information-inputting means with each item of said performance data read out by said readout means from said performance data-storing means; and
readout-directing means for directing said readout means to read out a next item of said performance data, when said comparing means determines that at least one of said voice information and said performance information agrees with said item of performance data read out by said readout means.

Abstract
An electronic musical instrument has a voice-inputting function. Voice information and performance information are input to the instrument. The instrument stores performance data therein. Each item of performance data stored is sequentially read out. The next item of performance data is read out when it is determined that at least one of the voice information and performance information being given agrees with each item of performance data sequentially read out. The instrument includes a plurality of operating elements for performance. Display devices are provided for the operating elements, respectively. When voice input is detected, one of the display devices, corresponding to one of the plurality of operating elements, is lighted, which corresponds to the pitch name of the detected voice. When voice input ends, the light in the display device is turned off. The instrument sequentially stores the voice information being sequentially read out in another operating mode. A player is notified of one of the plurality of elements to be operated, which corresponds to an item of the stored voice information read out. The next item of the stored voice information is caused to be read out, when the item of the stored voice information read out agrees with an item of pitch information of a musical tone for performance.

11. An electronic musical instrument having a voice-inputting function, comprising:
-
voice-inputting means for inputting a voice; performance information-inputting means for inputting performance information, said performance information-inputting means having a plurality of operating elements for performance; a plurality of display devices provided for respective ones of said plurality of operating elements of said performance information-inputting means; determining means for determining whether or not said voice has been input by said voice-inputting means; detecting means for detecting a pitch name of said voice input by said voice-inputting means; and control means for controlling said plurality of display devices such that when said determining means has determined that said voice has been input, one of said plurality of display devices corresponding to one of said plurality of operating elements is lighted, which corresponds to said pitch name of said voice detected by said detecting means, and that when said determining means has determined that said voice has not been input any longer, said one of said plurality of display devices lighted is put out. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
