Definitions

  • the words encoded in binary notation are transmitted together with the instrumental music data and then are visually represented on a display device such as a cathode-ray tube (CRT).
  • a display device such as a cathode-ray tube (CRT).
  • CRT cathode-ray tube
  • the display of words be performed synchronously with reproduction of the musical piece or song, so as to inform the user of the present portion of the words by changing the color of the words already sung or by indicating such portion with an arrow or the like.
  • the speed of replacement is rendered lower in displacing or erasing the words. Therefore it becomes necessary to replace the displayed content on the entire CRT screen at each time to eventually fail in maintaining fine synchronism with progress of the music reproduction.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows the format of unitary data, wherein CL (clear) is a data portion for erasing any unrequired data that remains in the memory means 4 at the data call time; DC (data code) denotes a discrimination code; DL (data length) is a signal to indicate the length of the unitary data; DI (data identification) is a signal to represent the identification of the data; DM (data music) is a data portion formed by binary-coding the instrumental music play; and DE (data end) is a signal to indicate the end of teh music data.
  • Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an exemplary constitution contrived principally for reproduction of music in digital communication.
  • an interface 21 such as an I/O port
  • a CPU 22 for computing and processing the input data received from the interface 21 and functioning to control each of the means connected mutually via two or multiple buses
  • an internal interface 23 for matching the CPU 22 to each of the means in the following stages
  • a main memory 24 for temporarily storing the data transferred thereto
  • a clock generator 25 incorporated in the CPU 22 and generating clock pulses of a predetermined frequency used to drive the CPU 22 while being utilized as a basis of the musical tempo or as a reference to determine the scale.
  • the clock generator 25 is not limited to such internal type alone, and any external clock means may be employed as well.
  • the apparatus of the present invention performs its operation in accordance with the procedure shown in the flow chart of Fig. 8.
  • a numerical value representing a data code is inputted [block 61] by manipulating the keyboard 45
  • the music data stored in the auxiliary memory 49 is retrieved [block 62] by the processing circuit 46.
  • a decision is made [block 63] as to whether the selected music data is existent in the stored content of the auxiliary memory 49. If the result of such decision is affirmative (yes), the music data is loaded [block 67] in the main memory 49 and is reproduced by the means 50, so that the played instrumental music is outputted from the loudspeaker 53.
  • the data code or the like is inputted [block 101] from the input unit 84.
  • the CPU 83 functions to actuate the CD-ROM disc drive mechanism 82 [block 102].
  • the resuly of a decision becomes affirmative (yes), so that the composite music data including the data code added thereto is obtained from the CD-ROM disc 81 and then is loaded [block 106] in the RAM incorporated in the CPU 83.
  • the window 162 may be formed with a fixed capacity as in the embodiment mentioned, a modification is possible in such a manner that the capacity is varied to increase successively and the portion from the beginning of teh words to the end thereof is treated as a single window.
  • the composite music data is down-loaded from the host computer 171 via the public communication line and is stored in the memory unit.
  • the data thus stored is computed and processed by the CPU 173, and the instrumental music data out of the entire data is inputted to the sound source via the sequencer 174, while the words data is inputted to the character controller 177 via the sequencer 174 and then is stored in the VRAM 178.
  • the designated characters in the words data thus stored are read out from the pattern ROM 175 prior to reproduction of the music and, after being formed into a dot matrix by the character generator 179, the characters are visually represented on the display device 181 via the video controller 180.
  • the sequencer 174 functions to process the instrumental music data sequentially.
