    摘要: An electronic musical instrument is provided with a keyboard which may comprise one or more keyboard sections. Plural instrument voices are stored in memory for each section of the instrument keyboard. Each stored voice comprises a set of plural multiple bit digital words. A composite audible tone corresponding to an active key comprises varying combinations of component signals derived from the stored voices. The decay pattern of the composite audible tone is divided into successive time zones. The durations of the zones may vary. For each zone, the amplitude of at least one of the component signals of the composite tone is caused to decay while the amplitudes of the remaining component signals are either not modulated or are maintained at zero. The rate of decay of the amplitude of a component signal, hence the duration of a particular time zone, may be made a function of the keyboard section associated with the active key. In an alternative embodiment, the instrument voices are not stored in memory. Instead, plural octavely related frequency signals generated by the multiplexed accumulator of the instrument are combined to generate the signals which are to be modulated to obtain the decay pattern of the composite audible tone.

    摘要: Methods and systems for performing modified reverb techniques for audio signals are described. The method may involve receiving an audio signal, a modal reverb effect to be applied to the audio signal, and an indication of a plurality of frequencies. Modes of vibration of a space simulated by the reverb effect may be separated into a set of frequencies included in the input, and a set frequencies not included in the input. The modal reverb effect may be modified by separately adjusting the separate sets of modes of vibration. The modified effect may then be applied to the audio signal.

    摘要: A sound signal synthesis method includes generating first data representing a deterministic component of a sound signal based on second control data representing conditions of the sound signal, generating, using a first generation model, second data representing a stochastic component of the sound signal based on the first data and first control data representing conditions of the sound signal, and combining the deterministic component represented by the first data and the stochastic component represented by the second data and thereby generating the sound signal.

    摘要: In an electronic musical instrument that can output stored lyrics of a song in accordance with keyboard operations by a user, a processor determines whether a melody should be advanced or not while multiple keys of a keyboard are pressed by the user using prescribed criteria, if the processor determines that the melody should be advanced, the processor advances the lyric in response to the user's multiple key operation and if the processor determines that the melody should not be advanced, the processor does not advance the lyric in response to the user's multiple key operation.
