Electronic musical apparatus system, server-side electronic musical apparatus and client-side electronic musical apparatus

Abstract

A plurality of client-side electronic musical apparatusesare connected to a server-side electronic musical apparatusthrough a communications network. Each of the client-side electronic musical apparatuses, which is provided with an ID, attaches the ID to a signal representative of operation of performance operatorsand setting operators, and transmits the ID-added signal to the server-side electronic musical apparatus. The server-side electronic musical apparatusindependently and concurrently executes, through the use of the ID, processes corresponding to the operational signals for the respective client-side electronic musical apparatusesto generate musical tone data and display data, and transmits the generated data with the ID to the respective client-side electronic musical apparatuses. The thus-transmitted data is appropriately received by the client-side electronic musical apparatusidentified on the basis of the ID. In spite of having a simple configuration, therefore, the respective client-side electronic musical apparatusesare able to independently and concurrently operate as a sophisticated and high-performance electronic musical apparatus.
