ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument can perform a musical-tone control according to a playing-style. In the instrument, a touch sensor is provided for each key on a keyboard, and pressure sensors are also provided under the keys. Each touch sensor detects a speed data corresponding to a depression speed of the key, and each pressure sensor detects a pressure data corresponding to an initial peak of a depression pressure after the start of the depression of the key. The instrument operates according to the speed data and the pressure data for discriminating between a standard playing-style which touches the key from an upside remote position and a push playing-style which starts depression of the key from a state where the key is touched. Values of the pressure data from the respective pressure sensors are different even if the speed data from the respective touch sensors are the same, so that the judgment is made as to which playing-style is performed on the corresponding key based on the speed data and the pressure data, thereby performing the musical-tone control according to the detected playing-style.
