The situation of the duet is explained.

假設場所A之使用者30A在選擇卡拉OK曲後，操作使用者介面1A，將卡拉OK曲之音調自原始音調(n)，變更為高於該音調之指定音調(n+p)。It is assumed that the user 30A of the place A operates the user interface 1A after selecting the karaoke music, and changes the tone of the karaoke music from the original tone (n) to a designated pitch (n+p) higher than the tone.

其結果，經由CPU2A，控制音調控制器3A，將自樂曲資料庫5A輸出之卡拉OK曲之伴奏音資料(MI)自原始音調(n)變更為指定音調(n+p)。As a result, the pitch controller 3A is controlled by the CPU 2A to change the accompaniment sound material (MI) of the karaoke music output from the music library 5A from the original tone (n) to the designated tone (n+p).

以此方式將音調變更為指定音調(n+p)之卡拉OK曲之伴奏音資料(MI)經由混音器6A及放大器7A，自揚聲器8A作為伴奏音輸出，故使用者30A一面聆聽該輸出之聲音，一面配合著經變更之指定音調(n+p)，使用麥克風9A進行歌唱。In this way, the accompaniment sound material (MI) of the karaoke music whose pitch is changed to the designated pitch (n+p) is output as the accompaniment sound from the speaker 8A via the mixer 6A and the amplifier 7A, so that the user 30A listens to the output while listening. The sound is played with the microphone 9A in conjunction with the changed specified tone (n+p).

使用者30A之歌唱資料(Vo.A)係將音調變更為指定音調(n+p)之卡拉OK曲之伴奏音資料(MI)與混音器6A進行混音，經由放大器7A，自揚聲器8A作為歌唱聲音及伴奏音輸出。又，使用者30A之歌唱資料(Vo.A)與伴奏音資料(MI)混音所得之資料(Vo.A+MI)係輸出至通信介面4A，且通信介面4A受到CPU2A控制，將該歌唱資料(Vo.A)與伴奏音資料(MI)混音所得之資料(Vo.A+MI)發送至卡拉OK裝置10B。The user's 30A singing material (Vo.A) is a karaoke music accompaniment sound material (MI) that changes the pitch to a specified pitch (n+p) and is mixed with the mixer 6A, via the amplifier 7A, from the speaker 8A. As a singing voice and accompaniment sound output. Further, the data (Vo.A+MI) obtained by mixing the singing material (Vo.A) of the user 30A with the accompaniment sound material (MI) is output to the communication interface 4A, and the communication interface 4A is controlled by the CPU 2A, and the singing is performed. The information (Vo. A) mixed with the accompaniment sound material (MI) (Vo. A + MI) is sent to the karaoke apparatus 10B.

又，自卡拉OK裝置10B發送之使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B')係於卡拉OK裝置10B中將音調變更為指定音調(n+p)。將該歌唱資料(Vo.B')經由通信介面4A輸入至混音器6A。因此，使用者30A之歌唱資料(Vo.A)、音調變更為使用者30B之指定音調(n+p)之歌唱資料(Vo.B')、及音調變更為指定音調(n+p)之卡拉OK曲之伴奏音資料(MI)於混音器6A中進行混音後，經由放大器7A自揚聲器8A，作為各自之歌唱聲音與音調經變更之卡拉OK曲之伴奏音而輸出。Further, the singing material (Vo. B') of the user 30B transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 10B is changed to the designated pitch (n+p) by the karaoke apparatus 10B. This singing material (Vo. B') is input to the mixer 6A via the communication interface 4A. Therefore, the singing material (Vo. A) of the user 30A, the pitch is changed to the singing material (Vo. B') of the designated tone (n+p) of the user 30B, and the pitch is changed to the designated pitch (n+p). The accompaniment sound material (MI) of the karaoke music is mixed in the mixer 6A, and then outputted from the speaker 8A via the amplifier 7A as the accompaniment sound of the respective singing voice and the pitch-changed karaoke music.

另一方面，於場所B中，輸入至通信介面4B之使用者30A之歌唱資料(Vo.A)與伴奏音資料(MI)混音所得之資料(Vo.A+MI)藉由通信介面4B受到CPU2B控制，而被卡拉OK裝置10B接收。On the other hand, in the place B, the information (Vo. A+MI) obtained by mixing the singing material (Vo. A) and the accompaniment sound material (MI) input to the user 30A of the communication interface 4B is performed by the communication interface 4B. It is controlled by the CPU 2B and is received by the karaoke apparatus 10B.

自卡拉OK裝置10A發送之使用者30A之歌唱資料(Vo.A)與伴奏音資料(MI)混音所得之資料(Vo.A+MI)藉由使用者30A，而使其音調自原始音調(n)，變更為高於該音調之指定音調(n+p)。使用者30B於感覺到該指定音調(n+p)與自己之音調不配合之情形時，將經混音之資料(Vo.A+MI)之音調變更為低於該指定音調(n+p)之音調(n+p+q)。The data (Vo.A+MI) obtained by mixing the singing material (Vo.A) of the user 30A and the accompaniment sound data (MI) transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 10A is made by the user 30A, and the tone is adjusted from the original tone. (n), change to a specified pitch (n+p) above the pitch. When the user 30B feels that the specified tone (n+p) does not match the tone of the user, the tone of the mixed material (Vo. A+MI) is changed to be lower than the designated tone (n+p). ) The pitch (n+p+q).

該處理係若藉由使用者30B操作使用者介面1B，而進行朝較低之音調(n+p+q)之指定，則藉由CPU2B控制音調控制器3B而執行。This processing is performed by the CPU 2B controlling the tone controller 3B by the user 30B operating the user interface 1B to specify the lower pitch (n+p+q).

以此方式變更為較低之音調(n+p+q)之經混音之資料(Vo.A+MI)、與經由麥克風9B拾音所得之使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B)係藉由混音器6B而混音，且經由放大器7B自揚聲器8B，作為使用者30A之 歌唱聲音、卡拉OK曲之伴奏音、進而作為使用者30B之歌唱聲音輸出。In this way, the mixed sound data (Vo.A+MI) of the lower pitch (n+p+q) and the singing material (Vo.B) of the user 30B obtained by the microphone 9B are changed. Mixed by the mixer 6B, and from the speaker 8B via the amplifier 7B, as the user 30A The vocal sound, the accompaniment sound of the karaoke music, and the singer sound of the user 30B are output.

又，同時地，將使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B)，經由混音器6B輸出至通信介面4B，但該使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B)係配合著變更為較使用者30A已變更之較高之指定音調(n+p)低之音調(n+p+q)之伴奏資料進行歌唱之歌唱資料，因此，該音調仍然成為低於較使用者30A已變更之較高之指定音調(n+p)低之音調(n+p+q)。At the same time, the singing material (Vo. B) of the user 30B is output to the communication interface 4B via the mixer 6B, but the singing material (Vo. B) of the user 30B is changed to be the user. 30A has changed the accompaniment data of the higher specified tone (n+p) lower tone (n+p+q) to sing the singing material, so the tone is still lower than the user 30A has changed. The pitch of the specified pitch (n+p) is low (n+p+q).

因此，藉由卡拉OK裝置10B之CPU2B控制音調控制器3B，而將成為上述低音調(n+p+q)之使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B)之音調變更為使用者30A已變更之較高之指定音調(n+p)之歌唱資料(Vo.B')。Therefore, the pitch controller 3B is controlled by the CPU 2B of the karaoke apparatus 10B, and the pitch of the singing material (Vo. B) of the user 30B who becomes the low-pitched tone (n+p+q) is changed to that the user 30A has changed. The higher specified pitch (n+p) singing material (Vo.B').

以此方式音調變更為指定音調(n+p)之使用者30B之歌唱資料(Vo.B')係輸入至卡拉OK裝置10A之通信介面4A，由卡拉OK裝置10A接收。The vocal material (Vo. B') of the user 30B whose pitch is changed to the designated pitch (n+p) in this manner is input to the communication interface 4A of the karaoke apparatus 10A, and is received by the karaoke apparatus 10A.

因此，在場所A中，卡拉OK曲之伴奏音以使用者30A指定之指定音調(n+p)進行播放，使用者30A亦配合著該指定音調(n+p)進行歌唱。而且，自卡拉OK裝置10B發送之使用者30B之歌唱聲音亦變更為其音調成為指定音調(n+p)，故而，使用者30A可以相同之指定音調(n+p)，與使用者30B進行二重唱。Therefore, in the place A, the accompaniment sound of the karaoke music is played by the designated pitch (n+p) designated by the user 30A, and the user 30A also sings in accordance with the designated pitch (n+p).
