ABSTRACT:
Tone control of an electronic musical instrument is provided using fuzzy inferences for determining musical tone control parameters such as pitch, sounding level, effect, overtone composition, playing methods, etc. Several different kinds of play information are derived from controls operated by the performer and selectively taken into account using fuzzy inference rules to derive the musical tone control parameters. Several different types of play information, such as initial touch, after touch, key-on time, etc., may thus be combined to provide delicate nuances to the musical performance providing a more natural sounding tone and providing the capability to give the musical tone an expression corresponding to a method or technique of a musical performance.
