A play data editing device edits play data according to a characteristic of a speaker. The play data editing device includes a dividing unit () for dividing first play data into second play data per channel; a classifying unit () for classifying the second play data into a rhythm part, a melody part, and a base part; a chord processing unit () for converting a number of chords of the second play data corresponding to the melody part according to the characteristic of the speaker; a velocity processing unit () for converting a velocity of the second play data corresponding to the rhythm part according to the characteristic of the speaker; and a sound range processing unit () for shifting a sound range of the second play data corresponding to the base part according to the characteristic of the speaker.

Play data editing device and method of editing play data

A music playback unit corrects the frequency characteristics of a speaker installed in a portable telephone, without using an equalizer. The musical score data is stored in a first memory, and data for correcting the velocity of musical score data for each velocity of each note is stored in a second memory. The sound generator driver reads the musical score data from the first memory, and reads the correction data from the second memory, and also corrects the velocity of the musical score data by substituting the musical score data and correction data in a predetermined calculation formula. The musical score data after the velocity is corrected is played by the MIDI sound generator, amplifier and speaker.
