Tone and picture generator device

A tone and picture generator device comprising: a tone generator section that generates a tone on the basis of performance information; a storage section that stores therein motion components representative of a trajectory of performance motions; and a picture generator section that, on the basis of the performance information, read out from said storage section one of the motion components corresponding to the performance information and, in synchronism with said performance information and on the basis of the motion component read out from said storage section, generates picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the performance information.

A tone and picture generating method comprising: providing performance information; generating a tone on the basis of said performance information; storing a plurality of motion components representative of a trajectory of performance motions; on the basis of the provided performance information, reading out one of the stored motion components corresponding to the provided performance information; and in synchronism with the provided performance information, and on the basis of the read out motion component, generating picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the performance information.

A machine-readable recording medium containing a group of instructions of a tone and picture generating method to be executed by a processor, said method comprising the steps of: receiving performance information; generating a tone on the basis of said performance information received by the step of receiving; storing a plurality of motion components representative of a trajectory of performance motions; on the basis of the received performance information, reading out one of the stored motion components corresponding to the received performance information; and in synchronism with said performance information received by the step of receiving, and on the basis of the read out motion component, generating picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the received performance information.

A tone and picture generator device comprising: means for providing performance information; means for generating a tone on the basis of said performance information; and means for, in synchronism with said performance information, generating picture data illustrating a performance scene of a selected musical instrument or part corresponding to the performance information.
