Description

MIDI music equipment digital staff master console

The invention relates to a digital music master device, which can record, store, display, edit and process MIDI data transmitted by a digital music device, and can control a plurality of different digital music devices and perform real-time digital music data. Processed and presented to the graphical display interface.

Known digital music devices (such as digital pianos, digital violins, audio sources, etc.) are controlled by a single machine or connected via a personal computer (PC), so MIDI data processing is mostly processed via the PC. Or it can be attached to a large number of digital music devices, and can not be controlled for a variety of different digital music devices. Therefore, the digital music device interface inside the digital music device currently available in the market cannot complete the carrying function, and the specific digital music device interface is limited to the The internal use of the music device cannot achieve the purpose of sharing (for example, the digital violin and the digital piano cannot share the same console), so the problem that the digital music equipment purchased by the general user may encounter is that the purchased digital piano can record the notes. And then converted into music, but the violin can only play and can not record..., or the equipment purchased does not have a storage and drawing display interface, which makes it impossible to store digital music data and display music scores instantly; for this, the user must prepare an additional PC A PC or laptop can do what you need The desired MIDI music signal processing function.

Different from the current digital music equipment and digital music equipment control market surface. The main purpose of the device of the invention is that in addition to achieving the sharing effect of the digital music device control interface, the portable carrying requirement can be completed; the external MIDI digital music device is controlled by a low-cost external electronic device, and the MIDI music can be instantly targeted. The signal is recorded, stored, edited, and processed immediately, and the MIDI music data can be displayed in real time or displayed in musical form.

According to the present invention, the device includes at least one CPU (or MCU)-based arithmetic unit and a digital music device transmission connector (MIDI or USB connector) for performing control and data reading of the real-time digital music device and the data storage interface. To calculate, store or display digital music materials and scores, the same fashion can use the external console to operate the device.

FIG. 1 shows the control and connection relationship between the device of the present invention and an external digital music device. Please refer to [Main Component Symbol Description]. The device of the present invention mainly connects to an external digital music device through a transmission connector of a digital music device (C12). Or C13), for the purpose of achieving the transmission of digital music signals, further converting, computing, processing, storing, transmitting, etc. of digital music data through C00; C00 can transmit the processed digital music information to C11, and finally And can be stored in the C41; in addition, through the connection of the C21 device to display the real-time digital music data processing situation (such as: Figure 2), which can increase the user's operating affinity; further increase the C31 device The connection, in addition to the ability to expand the function (for example: volume control can be changed to use the knob or slider operation), and can improve the convenience of operation and more ergonomic control.
