摘要:
Style-of-rendition identification information representing a style of rendition of a performance tone is received, and reference is made to a predetermined table on the basis of the received style-of-rendition identification information to thereby obtain, from the table, style-of-rendition module data corresponding to the received style-of-rendition identification information. Waveform is produced on the basis of the obtained style-of-rendition module data. The style-of-rendition module data is data representing behavior of a waveform to be produced in accordance with a style of rendition and may include data representing characteristic behavior of vectors that control the waveform to be reproduced. The behavior of the waveform can be defined by various waveform factors. The vectors include, for example, vectors of various fundamental waveform factors for producing the waveform, such as a waveform shape, pitch, amplitude and time axis.
摘要:
A succession of performance sounds is sampled, and the sampled performance sounds are divided into plural time sections of variable lengths in accordance with respective characteristics of performance expression therein, to extract waveform data of each of the time sections as an articulation element. The waveform data of each of the articulation elements are analyzed in terms of predetermined tonal factors to thereby create template data of the individual factors, and the thus-created template data are stored in a data base. Tone performance to be executed is designated by a time-serial sequence of plural articulation elements, in response to which the respective waveform data of the individual articulation elements are read out from the data base to thereby synthesize a tone on the basis of the waveform data. It is possible to freely execute editing of the element corresponding to any desired time section.
