    摘要: A double buffer system of a small storage capacity is employed for reducing the noise generation in musical waveforms. The operations of the buffers are utilized for performing an interpolation between waveforms and between successive sample points of each waveform, whereby the number of sample points of the waveform being read out is increased to smooth its level variation, producing a good quality musical tone as if it were obtained by quantizing the synthesized musical waveform.

    摘要: An apparatus for forming a musical-tone waveform for an electronic musical instrument characterized in that at least one cycle of a musical-tone waveform, which it is desired be produced, is divided in amplitude by dividing lines at equal intervals and sampling points on a time axis are determined from respective crossing points between the waveform and the dividing lines and the distance between the initial and the final sampling points is represented by an appropriate number of pulses so that each sampling point may be represented by a pulse number. There is further provided a memory circuit wherein each sampling point, that is, the pulse number thereof is set up in the form of a digital signal. Additionally, there is a set up in the form of a digital signal a tendency such as increase, decrease or equal at each sampling point with reference to the preceding sampling point. An envelope setting device is used wherein the envelope of a muscial-tone waveform, which it is desired be produced, is subjected to sampling and the analog amount of each sampling point is set up in the form of digital signal. An accumulatively adding device is employed whereby the output digital signal of the envelope setting device is accumulatively added to or subtracted from the output digital signal of the memory circuit. The accumulatively adding device is connected at its output terminal to a D-A converter for converting its output signal into an analog signal.

    摘要: A tone source apparatus for an electronic musical instrument is characterized in that at least one cycle of a musical-tone waveform, which it is desired be produced, is depicted as a sequence of section lines and a series of pulses having regular intervals is varied, by a pulse-density varying circuit, in pulse density in accordance with the degrees of inclination of the respective section lines. The resultant series of pulses having varied pulse density is formed, by a waveform forming circuit, into the desired musical tone waveform. The pulse-density varying circuit comprises a first counter to which is applied as an input, the aforementioned series of pulses having regular intervals. A second counter is connected, in series or in parallel, to the first counter and a decoder is connected to an output terminal of the second counter. A memory circuit is connected to the output terminals of the decoder. The memory circuit comprises a plurality of pulse-density setting portions which set frequency-dividing ratios for the first counter for selecting output pulse-densities. The memory circuit also comprises a plurality of section range setting portions which set frequency-dividing ratios for the second counter for selecting output time intervals of signals obtained at respective output terminals of the decoder.
