Musical performance training apparatus and record medium with musical performance training program

摘要

A musical performance training apparatus communicates with a musical instrument having light emitting elements for respective operation elements (e.g., musical keys). The apparatus sequentially reads, in advance, respective note data of a musical performance training part before their respective play timings (note-on timings), sequentially reads respective note data of automatic performance parts at their respective play timings and sends them to the instrument so that the light emitting elements are so controlled by the note data of the training part as to notify a trainee of key(s) to be played next, allowing the trainee to operate keys or play the training part in time agreement with the automatic performance. When reading note data of chord notes with a time difference or error from one another, the apparatus corrects the chord notes so as to have the same play time and sends the corrected results to the instrument. The apparatus selects or changes a musical part to be used for musical performance training and assigns note data of the selected musical part to a communication channel (e.g., MIDI channel) which is fixedly used by the instrument navigator to control the light emitting elements.
