Abstract:
An electronic musical instrument includes a keyboard, a sound-producing system, and a control unit. A panning value indicating a left-right balance of sound outputted from a left speaker and a right speaker in stereo sound production is assigned to each key of the keyboard such that the left-right balance of soundboard resonant sound waveform data for certain higher-pitch keys is shifted towards the left-speaker as compared with the left-right balance of soundboard resonant sound waveform data for certain lower-pitch keys that are located to the left of the higher-pitch keys so as to produce realistic piano sound mimicking an actual piano.

Claim (Index 1):
An electronic musical instrument comprising:\n a first key that is assigned a sound of a first pitch; a second key that is arranged to the right of the first key, the second key being assigned a sound of a second pitch that is higher than the first pitch; a third key that is arranged to the right of the second key, the third key being assigned a sound of a third pitch that is higher than the second pitch; and one or more processors that acquire panning values respectively assigned to the first key, the second key, and the third key, each panning value setting forth a left-right balance between a left-channel speaker and a right-channel speaker for the sound specified by each key, and the one or more processors generating, in response to an operation of one of the first, second and third keys, corresponding sound data for outputting from the left-channel speaker and the right-channel speaker in accordance with the assigned panning value, wherein the panning values respectively assigned to the second and third keys are set such that the left-right balance of the sound data of the third key is shifted towards the left speaker as compared with the left-right balance of the sound data of the second key.
