In a waveform compressing apparatus, a trial mode selecting portion selects a trial mode having the highest compression rate from a plurality of candidate modes which have not been selected before as a trial mode for generating a residue code. A waveform data compressing portion compresses a given data amount of original waveform data according to the selected trial mode so as to generate the residue code, the data amount being determined in correspondence with the selected trial mode. A waveform data restoring portion generates a restored waveform data from the compressed data using the generated residue code. A determining portion measures an evaluation value of a quantization error contained in the restored waveform data relative to the original waveform data, and determines whether the evaluation value is equal to or smaller than a predetermined allowable value. A mode change instructing portion outputs a mode change instruction for instructing the trial mode selecting portion to select another trial mode when the evaluation value is not smaller than the predetermined allowable value.

Amplitude, phase and frequency of a sine wave to be generated are calculated on the basis of feature quantity s1 delivered to feature quantity detecting means (2), and are sent to initialization means (3). The initialization means (3) calculates first two points of the sine wave to send the points thus calculated to oscillator (sine wave generating means) (4) as initial value s4. The oscillator (4) sequentially calculates values of respective sample points of waveform by using recurrence formula in accordance with initial value or values instructed from the initialization means (3) to thereby generate a sine wave signal. Thus, sine wave generation is performed without performing modulo-addressing.

A tone generation system is intended for use with an electronic musical instrument of the type wherein an audible tone is generated electronically in response to actuation of the instrument by a player. The invention generates digital signals capable of defining either the waveshape or the envelope characteristic of a tone for each tone initiated by such player actuation, the amplitude thereof being varied in accordance with the intensity of the player actuation initiating that tone. To define the amplitude, digital electronic circuits (22) are utilized for developing a digital scaling signal corresponding to the intensity of actuation of the instrument by the player. Other digital circuits develop (10,18) a digital waveform segment signals which define portions of a composite waveform, as represented in an orthogonal coordinate system. Further digital circuits (24) arithmetically manipulate these scaling signals and waveform segment signals to give a composite output signal defining the envelope or waveform to be produced.

The amplitude, phase and frequency of a sine wave to be generated is calculated from a feature s1 delivered to feature measuring means (2) and sent to initial setting means (3). The initial setting means (3) calculates the first two points of the sine wave and sends them as initial values s4 to an oscillator (sine wave generating means) (4). The oscillator (4) sequentially calculates the values of sample points of the waveform by using a recurrence formula according to the initial values given by the initial setting means (3) to generate a since wave signal. Thus without carrying out modulo addressing, a sine wave can be generated.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing a tone (e.g. for music) without the use of a waveform memory and using a feedback loop. The feedback loop includes a waveform generator which calculates, in real time, a parabolic approximation to a sine wave. The feedback loop includes a delay phase differencer (46) to eliminate hunting. The output waveform from the feedback loop is provided to a sine function generator (74) which approximates a sine value using a third order polynomial, to provide the output tone.
摘要:
A musical tone generating apparatus utilizing a data compression method is disclosed. A musical tone is sampled and is converted into waveform data (S(n)). These waveform data (S(n)) are compressed into compressed data (C(n)) by a linear predictive coding method and further by a differential quantization method. The number of bits of each of the compressed data (C(n)) is thus significantly smaller than that of the waveform data (S(n)). Thereafter, a memory (2) stores the thus compressed data corresponding to an attack portion of the tone and a selected part of a sustain portion of the tone. Hence, it is possible to remarkably reduce the memory storage. When generating a musical tone, the memory (2) reads out the compressed data (C(n)) of the attack portion and thereafter repeatedly reads out the compressed data of the selected part. The read-out compressed data are sequentially decoded into the original digital data. Thus, the whole waveform of the musical tone is reproduced.

This apparatus is basically constructed by a memory (M) storing difference data (D(n) ) and a data reproduction circuit (200). The difference data is in advance obtained by converting a musical tone signal (F(t) ) to be reproduced to digital sample data (F(n) effecting a linear prediction operation on the digital sample data (F(n) ) to produce prediction data (FY(n) ) and calculating the difference (D(n) ) between the digital sample data (F(n) ) and the prediction data (FY(n) ). The stored difference data (D(n) ) are sequentially read from the memory (M). In the data reproduction circuit (200), the musical tone signal (F(t) ) is reproduced by effecting a reverse operation of the linear prediction operation on the read difference data (D)n) ). In the case where the musical tone signal (F(t) ) is a periodic signal, the efficiency of the data compression is further enhanced by subtracting from each difference data (D(n) ) to be stored in the memory that difference data which was generated one period of the musical tone signal (F(t) ) before the generation of the each difference data (D(n) The efficiency of the data compression is more further enhanced by subtracting from each difference data that difference data which was generated a predetermined number of sampling intervals before the generation of the each difference data.
