ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus for an electronic musical instrument or other electronic apparatuses comprises a main body constituting an operation gripping section, a rotary member held in the main body to freely roll on an X-Y plane, a moving amount detector for detecting moving amounts of the rotary member in X- and Y-directions upon rolling of the rotary member, and a pressure detector for detecting a pressure effected on the main body. The control apparatus inputs control signals to a control object on the basis of detection values of the moving amount detector and pressure detector. An electronic musical instrument has the control apparatus as a performance operation member for controlling electronic tone generation parameters in correspondence with a performance function, and a sound source for generating an electronic tone on the basis of inputs from a keyboard and the performance operation member.
