    摘要: Determination is made, in accordance with acquired performance information, as to whether a crossfade characteristic should be changed or not, and a crossfade characteristic of crossfade synthesis having already been started at the time of the acquisition of the performance information was acquired are automatically changed in accordance with a result of the determination. Because the crossfade characteristic is automatically changed during the course of the crossfade synthesis, the time length of the crossfade synthesis can be expanded or contracted as compared to the time length that had been preciously set at the beginning of the crossfade synthesis, and thus, the time position of a succeeding one of rendition style modules to be time-serially combined in accordance with the acquired performance information can be allotted to a time position displaced by an amount corresponding to the expanded or contracted time.

    摘要: An electronic stringed instrument is provided where the value of a pitch that has been currently detected and the value of a pitch that has been stored are compared. A determination is made as to whether or not the pitch has dropped roughly a half tone. In those cases where the currently detected pitch has dropped roughly a half tone from the pitch detected a specified period earlier, a tone generator begins the attenuation of a musical tone that is generated and the note height of the musical tone is controlled so that the note height does not change.

    摘要: Filtering is performed on original waveform to remove components of a predetermined frequency band from the waveform, and dividing positions of the original waveform data are determined on the basis of envelope levels of the filtered waveform. The dividing positions may be determined on the basis of differentiation of an envelope of the filtered waveform. Rise positions in the original waveform data are detected, and one rise position may be selected from among one or more rise positions detected within a predetermined range of the original waveform and extracted as a dividing position of the original waveform. Presumed beat positions in the original waveform may be detected, and rise positions of the original waveform may be detected within predetermined ranges corresponding to the presumed beat positions. In parallel with reproduction of automatic performance, waveform data are stored in memory along with synchronization control data indicative of relationship in processing timing between the automatic performance and the waveform data.

    摘要: Rendition style determining apparatus detects at least one of duration of a first note to be performed at a given time point and time interval between the first note and a second note to be performed following the first note, in order to automatically impart music piece data with an appropriate rendition style. Rendition style to be imparted to the music piece data in relation to the given time point is determined on the basis of the detected duration or time interval. Also, the apparatus can readily control the rendition style to be imparted to the music piece data, by appropriately setting/changing rendition style determination conditions, such as reference time lengths. Music piece data is supplied to a determination device, thereby causes the determination device to perform automatic rendition style determination based on the supplied music piece data and then displays the rendition style imparted to the music piece data.

    摘要: While a normal tone of a designated pitch is being generated in response to key depression or other performance operation on a keyboard or other performance operation device, the tone is controlled in response to manipulation of a pedal or other auxiliary performance operator. Namely, once the auxiliary performance operator is manipulated during generation or sounding of the normal tone, generation of an additional tone related to the normal tone is initiated. In this case, in correspondence with ON/OFF operation of the auxiliary performance operator, a resonant tone is generated, as the additional tone, which is peculiar to the currently-generated normal tone and which is also peculiar to the ON/OFF operation of the auxiliary performance operator. Particularly, if the normal tone is still being generated when the auxiliary performance operator has been returned from the ON state to the OFF state, a returning tone related to the currently-generated normal tone is generated as another additional tone. The returning tone is a vibration-suppressed tone occurring as a mechanical vibration producing the resonant tone is ceased.

    摘要: A sound synthesizer for a plucked string instrument simulates noises and transients produced before and after and during the transitions between notes. A particularly convincing synthesis of a plucked string instrument is produced by combining the transients into the final output. In particular, the transient tap tone and longitudinal vibration of the string resulting from the string pluck, and the damping tap tones resulting from the string damping, are all simulated. In one embodiment, the tap tone created upon attack and plucking of a string, is synthesized, and then used to stimulate a resonant circuit, thereby simulating both the pluck tap tone, and the transverse vibration of the string. In addition, the final damping transients which occur at the end of an articulated note are also simulated, using either an independent transient synthesis section, or by stimulating the resonant circuit with a tap tone, while simultaneously re-tuning that resonant circuit.

    摘要: A musical tone synthesizing apparatus is used to synthesize musical-tone waveforms on the basis of simulation of a tone-generation mechanism of a musical instrument. Herein, a drive signal is generated based on an excitation envelope signal in accordance with a manipulation of performance made by a human operator (e.g., performer) and is then converted to an excitation signal in accordance with an operating behavior of the musical instrument. For example, the operating behavior indicates a behavior of a reed portion of a wind instrument to which breath is blown in; or it indicates a behavior of a string of a stringed instrument which is striken or plucked. The excitation signal is input to a physical-model sound source realizing resonating-body/vibrating-body models. The physical-model sound source performs calculations, simulating the tone-generation mechanism of the musical instrument, on the excitation signal to produce a musical tone signal. An amplitude envelope signal as well as an effect are imparted to the musical tone signal, thus providing a synthesized musical tone output. The excitation envelope signal and amplitude envelope signal are controlled in level in a variety of ways in response to an instruction to generate a next note during generation of a current note. For example, formation of an attack portion is started to follow a current level of the excitation envelope signal, whilst the amplitude envelope signal is damped in level to a damp level, then, formation of an attack portion is started to follow the damp level of the amplitude envelope signal. Thanks to the controlling of the envelope signals, it is possible to realize special techniques of performance such as one-note-by-one-note crescendo without causing delay in generation of notes.

    摘要: A differentiation circuit outputs a normalized time variable signal for each phase. This time variable signal is multiplied by a gain parameter by a multiplier, thus reproducing an AC amplitude level lost in normalization. The reproduced output is added to an amplitude parameter by an adder, thus reproducing a DC amplitude level lost in the normalization. A CPU reads out the parameters of the differentiation circuit and adder from an ROM, and writes them into a parameter memory. When phase-change data is detected, the content of the parameter memory is rewritten, thereby forcibly changing the phase.
