Music instrument which generates a rhythm EKG2010-02-24back through said video display unit a video track associated with said stored musical score; and
a digital processor receiving said signal from said actuator and generating a control signal therefrom,
said digital processor programmed to use said timer resource to determine a time at which said actuation signal occurred,
said digital processor programmed to select one of the note structures of the sequence of note structures that has an associated time that corresponds to the time at which said activation signal occurred, and
said digital processor programmed to use the selected note structure to generate said control signal, wherein said control signal causes said synthesizer to generate the corresponding musical sound identified by the selected note structure, and
wherein said digital processor is also programmed to start at the same time both said timer and playback of the video track on said video playback component so that the musical score is synchronized with the playback of said video track.
2. The virtual music instrument of claim 1 further comprising an audio playback component for storing and playing back an audio track associated with said stored musical score, and wherein said digital processing means is programmer to start both said timer resource and said audio playback component at the same time so that the musical score is synchronized with the playback of said audio track.
3. The virtual music instrument of claim 2 wherein said audio track omits a music track, said omitted music track being represented by the musical score for said actuator.
4. The virtual music instrument of claim 2 wherein both the audio and video playback component comprise a CD-ROM player.
5. The virtual music instrument of claim wherein said digital processor is programmed to display on said video display unit a trace of markers as a function of time, wherein each of the markers within said trace of markers indicates a time at which the user is supposed to cause said actuator to generate said actuation signal in order to cause the audio synthesizer to play the musical sound for a corresponding one of the sequence of note structures of said musical score, said trace of markers representing a period of time extending from before an actual elapsed time until after the actual elapsed time, the actual elapsed time being measured from a start of the musical score.
6. The virtual music instrument of claim 5 wherein said digital processor is also programmed to display on said video display unit an indicator marking a location of the actual elapsed time within said trace of markers and thereby indicating where the user is presently supposed to be within the musical score.
7. The virtual musical instrument of claim 6 wherein said digital processor is also programmed to generate on said video display unit a second trace next to said trace of markers indicating when the user actually caused said actuator to generate actuation signals and thereby indicating when the notes of said sequence of notes are actually played by said audio synthesizer relative to when they are supposed to be played as indicated by said trace of markers.
8. A control program tangibly stored on a digital storage medium for use with a virtual musical instrument that includes an actuator for generating a sequence of actuation signals in response to a corresponding sequence of activations of the actuator by a user, an audio component, a video playback component, a video display unit, and a digital processor receiving said sequence of actuation signals from said actuator and generating a corresponding sequence of control signals therefrom, and a digital storage device storing a sequence of note structures representing a musical score, wherein the digital storage medium is readable by the digital processor, and wherein the video playback component contains a pre-recorded video track associated with the musical score, said control program being configured to operate the virtual musical instrument to perform the functions of:
establishing a timer resource;
in response to receiving a start signal from the user, simultaneously starting the timer resource and playback of the pre-recorded video track on the video component so as to cause playback of the pre-recorded video track through the video display unit to be synchronized with the musical score; and
in response to receiving each actuation signal of said sequence of actuation signals,
(a) determining from the timer resource a time at which the received actuation signal occurred;
(b) selecting a corresponding one of the note structures in the sequence of note structures based on the time at which said received actuation occurred; and
(c) generating a control signal from the selected note structure, wherein the control signal causes the audio component to generate the musical sound corresponding to the selected note structure.
