Remix apparatus and method for generating new musical tone pattern data by combining a plurality of divided musical tone piece data, and storage medium storing a program for implementing the method

摘要

A remix apparatus and a remix method are provided, which can generate new musical tone pattern data with new tempo and groove while partly maintaining the tempo and groove of the original musical tone pattern data. Musical tone pattern data having a first predetermined length are divided into a plurality of first musical tone piece data each having a second predetermined length smaller than the first predetermined length, and the musical tone pattern data are divided into second musical tone piece data each having a third predetermined length smaller than the first predetermined length and different from the second predetermined length. Based on a rearranging pattern indicative of an arrangement of lengths of ones of musical tone piece data obtained by the division to be rearranged in rearranging the musical tone piece data, new musical tone pattern data are generated by selecting and rearranging at least one of the plurality of second musical tone piece data in at least one position for which the rearranging pattern indicates the second predetermined length, and selecting and rearranging at least one of the plurality of first musical tone piece data in at least one position for which the rearranging pattern indicates the second predetermined length.
