Abstract:
An electronic musical apparatus having a generator for generating a tone, comprising:a play member provided for playing a music such that a key-on touch operation and a key-off touch operation are performed on the play member to input a note of the music; a detector that detects the key-on touch operation and the key-off touch operation to generate key-on information and key-off information; and a controller operative based on the key-on information and the key-off information for controlling the generator to generate a tone corresponding to the note, wherein the detector detects a transitional state of the key-off touch operation for generating a sequence of first key-off information and second key-off information indicative of the transitional state of the key-off touch operation, and the controller responds to the first key-off information for controlling the generator to start generating of a trailing tone of the note and responds to the second key-off information for controlling the generator to stop generating of the trailing tone of the note.
