Abstract
Based on acceleration-sensor values from a three-dimensional acceleration sensor, CPUof a performance apparatusdetermines a timing at which a musical tone is generated. Further, based on the acceleration-sensor values of the acceleration sensorgiven at a predetermined timing, for example, at a time when a player starts swinging of the performance apparatus, a roll angle of the performance apparatusrotating about an axis in its longitudinal direction is calculated. A timbre of musical tones to be generated is determined based on the calculated roll angle.
