ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical tone signal controller has a resilient operating member, at least two sensors mounted on the operating member at at least two different positions in the longitudinal direction so as to detect the distortion amount of the operating member, a musical tone control signal generating unit for obtaining a force applied to the operating member and a force-applied position of the operating member in accordance with a signal outputted from each sensor, and generating a control signal corresponding to the obtained force and position, and a musical tone signal generating unit for generating a musical tone signal in accordance with the control signal supplied from the musical tone control signal generating unit. The direction of a force applied to the operating member may be obtained by using signals from the sensors to generate a control signal corresponding to the force direction. The tone signal controller is suitable for an electronic musical instrument which generates a continuous tone from a key depression force.
