Abstract
A dynamic musical system performs a desired musical operation. A plurality of processing units are linked altogether to constitute a network which can distribute therethrough information associated to the musical operation. Each processing unit operates to process the distributed information by a given throughput and can be connected to an external device associated to the musical operation so as to control the same. A master processing unit is selected in the network for checking a characteristic profile of each slave processing unit at least in terms of the throughput thereof and the external device if connected thereto. The master processing unit further allocates adequate jobs to the respective slave processing units according to their characteristic profiles so that all the processing units cooperatively carry out the allocated jobs by either of processing the distributed information and controlling the external device to thereby perform the desired musical operation altogether.
