Abstract:
An electronic keyboard musical instrument comprising:an actuating member; an output member that is actuated by said actuating member to output a plurality of pieces of information according to respective actuating positions of said actuating member; a touch information-generating device that generates touch information based on first information output by said output member when said actuating member is in a vicinity of an actuation-terminating position thereof; a musical tone-generating device that generates a musical tone according to the touch information generated by said touch information-generating device; and a control device responsive to second information output by said output member during returning of said actuating member, said second information being generated on a side closer to an actuation-starting position of said actuating member than a position in which the first information is generated, for providing control such that the musical tone being generated is progressively damped and a musical tone having a predetermined characteristic is generated; wherein said output member outputs the second information when the actuating position of said actuating member is equivalent to a damper-leaving position in a key stroke of an acoustic piano keyboard.
