ABSTRACT:
Provided is an electronic keyboard, which has a sequentially variable operating terminal, that comprises: a detector for detecting an operational displacement of the sequentially variable operating terminal, a linear converter for converting into a linear value the operational displacement of the sequentially variable operating terminal that is detected by the detector, a linear conversion table that is to be referred to when the linear converter converts the operational displacement into the linear value, a bender MIDI converter for converting into a bender MIDI value the linear value that is obtained by the linear converter, and a bender MIDI conversion table that is to be referred to when the bender MIDI converter converts the linear value into the bender MIDI value; and wherein the bender MIDI converter refers to the bender MIDI conversion table to convert the operational displacement of the sequentially variable operating terminal into a discrete bender MIDI value.
