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 11):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program executable by one or more processors in an electronic musical instrument that includes: 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 said processor, the program causing the one or more processors to perform the following:\n acquiring 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 in response to an operation of one of the first, second and third keys, generating 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.
