System operability is good, use efficiency is improved, and the computer can be used even if the user does not know music playing technique and musical theory. A hand held type position input device is provided, and by operating the hand held position input device, various selections and various settings in software are executed. The band members can be set, the playing style can be changed by a combination of the setting of the band members and the selection of the music to be played. The operator of the hand held position input device can participate as a member of the band.Field of SearchRhythmReiteration Accompaniment Note sequence Tempo control Chords Tone synthesis or timbre control Time varying or dynamic Fourier components Modulation Mixing Accompaniment Rhythm Tempo control Chords Arpeggio Selecting circuits Fundamental tone detection or extraction Multiplexing or scanning Priority or preference circuits Transposition Stops | |
