Abstract
A control apparatus comprises a rod-like member having a gripping portion at its distal end, a support member for supporting the rod-like member, the gripping portion being movable along an axial direction of the rod-like member, and moving amount detectors for detecting moving amounts of the gripping portion. The control apparatus inputs a control signal to a control object on the basis of a detection value of the moving amount detectors. An electronic musical instrument has a control apparatus as a performance operation member for controlling electronic tone generation parameters in correspondence with a performance function, and a sound source for generating an electronic tone on the basis of inputs from a keyboard and the performance operation member.
