A musical performance system includes an instrument and a terminal. Terminal includes a processor. Processor executes outputting first track data or first pattern data obtained by arbitrarily combining pieces of track data. Processor executes automatically outputting second track data or second pattern data obtained by arbitrarily combining pieces of track data. Instrument includes a processor. Processor executes acquiring first track/pattern data from terminal. Processor executes generating a sound of a music composition in accordance with first track/pattern data. Processor executes acquiring second track/pattern data from terminal. Processor executes generating a sound of a music composition in accordance with second track/pattern data.

Musical performance system, terminal device, method and electronic musical instrument

A transmission-side information terminal displays a marker whose wavelength changes with time on the basis of a tag ID acquired from a management server. A receiving-side information terminal takes an image to acquire the tag ID, and transmits storage instruction information to a distribution server, the storage instruction information including the tag ID, an area number indicating a position of the receiving-side information terminal and image data acquired by taking an image. The image distribution server stores the tag ID, the area number and the image data in the storage instruction information in association with one another. The transmission-side information terminal transmits query information including the tag ID acquired from the management server and the area number indicating its own position to the image distribution server, thereby acquiring image data associated with the tag ID and the area number from the image distribution server.

Communication system, information terminal, communication method and recording medium

A storage of DSP receives and stores a plurality of signal processing modules according to which a digital tone signal is processed. Each signal processing module includes a plurality of data groups (e.g., program, fixed data, work data). The storage has a plurality of storage areas, each assigned to a different one of the data groups. Each storage area is divided into a plurality of division areas for the plurality of signal processing modules. DSP receives address qualifying information on the difference between the size of a specified data groups (e.g., work data) for a signal processing module and the size of a specified division area which stores the specified data group. DSP sequentially executes the plurality of signal processing modules. When it has completed executing of the current signal processing module, DSP uses the address qualifying information to determine the start address of the specified division area for the next signal processing module.

A signal processor executes a required process based on a program stored in a RAM connected to the signal processor. The program is transferred from a ROM connected to a CPU, as requested. When the CPU determines based on the status of the RAM that the contents of a particular one of instructions which compose a particular program among the programs stored in the ROM should be changed, the CPU changes the contents of the instruction and transfers the changed instruction to the RAM. When a first one of a plurality of programs stored in the RAM is replaced with a second program transferred from the ROM, and the areas of the RAM used by the first and second programs are different, the CPU also changes the contents of instructions of other programs which are not required to be replaced.
