摘要： A music apparatus uses a processing unit of a universal type having an extended instruction set used to carry out parallel computation steps in response to a single instruction which is successively issued when executing a program. A software module defines a plurality of channels and is composed of a synthesis program executed by the processing unit using the extended instruction set so as to carry out synthesis of waveforms of musical tones through the plurality of the channels. The plurality of the channels are optimally grouped into parallel sets each containing at least two channels. The synthesis of the waveforms of at least two channels belonging to each parallel set are carried out concurrently by the parallel computation steps. A buffer has a capacity sufficient to store the waveform samples allotted to one frame period. A cache has a capacity sufficient to store a subset of the waveform samples which is an integer division of the set allotted to one frame period. The synthesis program is executed by the processing unit at one frame period so as to carry out synthesis of a set of waveform samples allotted to one frame period while efficiently accessing the cache. Any designated subroutine programs are sequentially called in response to call instructions to process the waveform samples during the synthesis.

摘要： Tone color data are stored in a tone generator storage region of a RAM. The tone generator data storage region is searched upon occurrence of performance information indicative of a change of tone color, to determine whether tone color data selected by the change of tone color are stored in the tone generator data storage region, and musical tone generation is controlled such that when a result of the searching indicates that the tone color data selected by the change of tone color are stored in the tone generator data storage region, a musical tone is generated based on the tone color data, and, when the tone color data selected by the change of tone color are not stored in the tone generator data storage region, the tone color data are read out from a storage medium storing the selected tone color data, and transferred to and stored in the tone generator data storage region, while generating a musical tone based on other tone color data similar to the selected tone color data.

摘要： Set of sample identification information and representative-point designating data is generated in accordance with performance data or the like, and sample data is obtained by referring to a database in accordance with the generated sample identification information. If necessary, the thus-obtained sample data is adjusted or modified on the basis of the representative-point designating data. Characteristic of the sample data can be controlled appropriately and efficiently by the representative-point designating data specifying representative sample points for which sample data adjustment is to be performed. For example, particular sample data that is located at a given representative sample point designated by the representative-point designating data is adjusted in accordance with adjustment information, and other sample data that is located at another sample point is adjusted simultaneously with such adjustment at the representative sample point.

摘要： A waveform producing method includes a step of producing a waveform presenting style-of-rendition characteristics corresponding to style-of-rendition identification information, on the basis of individual vector data arranged on the time axis. Each style-of-rendition identification information is representative of style-of-rendition characteristics of a performance tone and indicates one of a plurality of styles of rendition to which the style-of-rendition characteristics correspond. A plurality of vector data are generated, in accordance with the received style-of-rendition identification information, for production of a waveform presenting the style-of-rendition characteristics. The vector data correspond to a plurality of different fundamental waveform factors for constituting a waveform. By arranging the individual vector data on the time axis, a waveform shape or envelope corresponding to the waveform factors can be built along a reproducing time axis of the performance tone. Thus, there can be produced a performance tone waveform presenting the style-of-rendition characteristics corresponding to the style-of-rendition identification information.

摘要： When adjoining, i.e. Preceding and succeeding, waveform-forming module data are to be interlined, a mutual approaching rate is designated, and the preceding and succeeding module data are modified in accordance with the designated mutual approaching rate. The modification based on the mutual approaching rate allows the preceding and succeeding module data to approach each other and thus provides for smooth link or connection between the two module data. Further, by designating a link starting point in the preceding module data and/or a link ending point in the succeeding module data, the preceding and succeeding module data are interlined to an appropriate degree depending on a difference or degree of similarity between the two module data. If the preceding or succeeding module data include data of a plurality of vectors, a time relationship between the preceding and succeeding module data is evaluated, and the data of one or more of the vectors is thinned out, as necessary, in accordance with the evaluated time relationship so that the two module data can be interlined appropriately.

摘要： Tone synthesis apparatus synthesizes a tone of a wind instrument generated in response to vibration of a reed contacting a lip during a performance of the wind instrument. First arithmetic operation section solves a motion equation representative of behavior of the reed in an equilibrium state with external force acting on the lip and a second motion equation representative of behavior of the lip in the equilibrium state, to thereby calculate displacement yb(x), y0(x) of the lip and reed in the equilibrium state. Second arithmetic operation section solves a motion equation of coupled vibration of the lip and reed with calculation results of the first arithmetic operation section used as initial values of the displacement yb(x), y0(x) of the lip and reed, to thereby calculate the displacement y(x, t) of the reed. Tone is synthesized on the basis of the displacement y(x, t) calculated by the second arithmetic operation section.
