    摘要: Most appropriate data of a plurality of level-converted digital data obtained by level conversion of the same input digital data by different conversion factors is selected based on a signal quality of each level-converted digital data. The other level-converted digital data is attenuated to or below a predetermined noise level. Switching between previously selected data and newly selected data is effected by cross-fading. The level-converted digital data are D/A converted to respective analog signals. Level conversion of the analog signals are carried out again based on respective corresponding ones of the conversion factors to restore a level of the input digital data, and all the level-converted analog signals are then added together. When an amplitude level of the input digital data exceeds a predetermined value, the cross-fading is started between the previously selected data and the newly selected data which are delayed by the predetermined amount of delay, and when during the cross-fading a larger rate of change in the amplitude level of the input digital data than a predetermined value is detected, the cross-fading is carried out at a rate larger than a predetermined rate in dependence on the rate of change in the amplitude level. In another form, the cross-fading is started at a first rate when the amplitude level exceeds a first predetermined value, and when during the cross-fading the amplitude level exceeds a second predetermined value larger than the first one, the cross-fading is carried out at a second rate larger than the first rate.

    摘要: In a wave shape generator of the memory reading type, a waveshape memory stores sample values of a wave each value being represented by an integral address. A coefficient memory stores coefficients for nth order interpolation. Unknown intermediate sample values not stored in the wave shape memory represented by non-integral addresses and are approximated by multiplication of stored sample values of the waveshape and corresponding coefficient values on the basis of nth order interpolation. Use of the interpolation method assures smoothness of the wave shape with respect to time and thereby minimizes quantization noise while permitting use of relatively small memories.

    摘要: A noise elimination device employs a concept of the linear prediction method. According to the invention, a linear prediction coefficient of a digitized, continuous input signal (an original signal) is calculated, a linear predicted value is computed from this linear prediction coefficient, difference (a prediction error) between the linear predicted value and the input signal is computed whereas a threshold value is set in accordance with the momentarily changing input signal, the judgement that a noise has occurred is made when the predicted value has exceeded the threshold value and thereupon a substitution signal is produced on the basis of an input signal existing in the vicinity of the time point at which the noise has occurred, and the section in which the noise has occurred is substituted by this substitution signal thereby to eliminate the noise. By virtue of employing the linear prediction method, the necessity for including an error detection code as a part of data has been obviated, the device is made applicable to elimination of a noise contained in an original signal, possibility of making an erroneous judgement has been reduced even with respect to signals having little correlation between themselves by varying the threshold value in accordance with the input signal, and a sufficient noise suppression effect is expected against a burst error or a relatively long noise by producing a substitution signal resembling an input signal on the basis of the input signal containing no noise in the vicinity of the noise section.

    摘要: Musical tone signals are produced in an electronic musical instrument by calculating the amplitudes at successive sample points of a complex waveshape and by delivering these calculated amplitudes one after another in time sequence. A recursive algorithm is implemented to calculate each amplitude, using one or more sets of parameters and also the calculated amplitudes for a plurality of the preceding sample points. This musical instrument can produce a variety of musical sounds which realistically simulate those of the various existing natural musical instruments including percussion instruments, simply by suitably determining the parameters.

    摘要: Stereo sound signals are reproduced directly from loudspeakers (SP(L), SP(R)). By using a sum signal and a difference signal of the stereo sound signals as a reference signal, and according to a cross spectrum calculation of the reference signal with a microphone-collected sound signal, calculation is performed to obtain transfer functions of four sound transfer systems between the loudspeakers (SP(L), SP(R)) and microphones (MC(L), MC(R)). The transfer functions obtained are subjected to inverse Fourier transform to obtain impulse responses, which are set in filter means (40-1 to 40-4) to create echo cancel signals and perform echo canceling. This solves the problem of an indefinite coefficient in the echo cancel technique of a multi-channel sound signal.

    摘要: A CPU of a computer, or preferably a so-called microprocessor controls the tone waveshape generation. A tone generator unit, an instrument keyboard unit, a tone quality control unit are connected to a common data bus to which the CPU and the associated memories are also connected. Thus, the tone generator unit may be considered as a terminal unit of a computer system. Hence, the freedom in selecting the algorithm for generating a waveshape and the freedom in selecting and changing the parameters related to the waveshape generation are substantially increased. And therefore a gradually changing waveshape is very easily generated in one embodiment of this invention.
