ABSTRACT:
In order to simulate sounds of an acoustic musical instrument such as a bowed stringed instrument, an electronic musical instrument employs a musical tone control apparatus which at least contains an operating device and a detecting circuit. Herein, when operating the operating device which can be operated in a two-dimensional area, the detecting circuit detects operation information corresponding to an operating position or an operating displacement of the operating device. Then, velocity information is generated based on the operation information. Thereafter, a musical tone is generated in response to a musical characteristic corresponding to the velocity information under a condition where the operating device is now operating. Preferably, the operating device is configured by a digitizer on which surface an electronic pen is moved two-dimensionally by the performer. Thus, it is possible to impart the varied performance expression to the musical tone to be generated.
