Patent ID: 7060885

Claim:
A music reproduction system comprising: an operating terminal unit that can be carried by an operator, and generates motion information in response to motion of the operator carrying said operating terminal unit; a music editing apparatus that receives the motion information from said operating terminal unit and edits music data of a piece of music to be reproduced based on the received motion information; and a musical tone generating device that reproduces the edited music data supplied from said music editing apparatus to generate musical tones; wherein said music editing apparatus comprises: a detector device that detects peak information indicative of magnitude of the motion in a predetermined direction of the operator from the received motion information; a control information generating device that generates music reproduction control information for controlling music reproduction of the piece of music, based on the peak information, when a peak value indicated by the peak information is larger than a first predetermined threshold value and a second predetermined threshold value, and generates acoustic effect control information for controlling at least one acoustic effect to be applied to the piece of music, based on the peak information, when the peak value indicated by the peak information is larger than the first predetermined threshold value and smaller than the second predetermined threshold value; a music data editing device that edits the music data based on the music reproduction control information and the acoustic effect control information generated by said control information generating device; and an output device that outputs the music data edited by said music data editing device to said musical tone-generating device.
