ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus, for an electronic musical instrument and other electronic apparatuses, comprises a freely operable operation rod having an operation gripping portion at a distal end of the rod, X- and Y-position detectors for respectively detecting X- and Y-positions of the operation rod, and a pressure or rotation amount detector for detecting an operation pressure operating on the operation rod or a rotational amount of the operation rod about an axis thereof. The control apparatus can input a pressure or rotational amount detection signal of the operation rod to a control object together with X- and Y-position detection signals. An electronic musical instrument has the control apparatus as a performance operation member for controlling electronic tone generation parameters in correspondence with a performance function of a kind of instrument, and a physical sound source for generating an electronic tone on the basis of inputs from a keyboard and the performance operation member.
