摘要:
A reverberation generating apparatus is designed for applying a reverberation effect to an acoustic signal for output based on sampling data representative of an impulse response waveform. In the apparatus, a first convolution operating section convolutes the acoustic signal with sampling data corresponding to an initial period of the impulse response waveform so as to generate an initial acoustic signal. The initial period of the impulse response waveform is determined from a point of impulse sound emission to a point after a lapse of a specified time. A second convolution operating section convolutes the acoustic signal with sampling data corresponding to a selected period of the impulse response waveform so as to generate an additional acoustic signal. An attenuation operating section recurrently outputs the additional acoustic signal while attenuating the additional acoustic signal so as to generate a late acoustic signal. An output section synthesizes the initial acoustic signal and the late acoustic signal for the output.
