摘要:
Two tone generators (20, 21) having different tone generation systems, e.g., PCM type and an FM type, are provided. There are tone generation modes designating combination of tone generation in these tone generators and one can be selected from among them. There are, for example, a simple mixing mode, a delay mode in which start of tone generation in one tone generator is delayed from that in the other and a crossfade mode in which a tone signal is generated first in one tone generator and tone generation is switched to the other tone generator and envelope levels of output tone signals of the two tone generators are crossfaded during a switching period. Delay time in the delay mode and switching time in the crossfade mode can be variably controlled in accordance with a key scaling and/or other factors. A tone may be generated at a sampling frequency synchronized with a pitch in one tone generator and at a sampling frequency which is not synchronized with the pitch in the other tone generator. A phase of one cycle may be divided into plural sections and a complex waveform can be generated by converting the phase address signal in accordance with a function peculiar to each phase section and accessing a waveform memory with the converted address signal.

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.

A bus system interconnects a plurality of devices of various categories constituting an electronic music instrument apparatus for exchanging signals among the devices having unique addresses. The bus system has a serial clock line for transmission of a clock signal, and a serial data line for transfer of a data signal from a source device to a destination device in synchronization with the clock signal. The source device operates as a master to commence a communicating session such as to send the clock signal to the serial clock line and to send the data signal to the serial data line in synchronization with the clock signal. The destination device operates as a slave so as to receive the data signal based on the clock signal. The source device formulates the data signal containing a unique address specifying the destination device such that the destination device can receive the data signal exclusively from the source device. The unique address contains category information designating a category to which the destination device belongs and a sub-address specifying the destination device in the designated category.
