ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument has an electronic sound source of a physical model simulating the sound mechanism of an acoustic mechanical instrument, in particular, a stringed instrument of the bowing type. The electronic sound source is controlled according to tone pitch information and tone information determining a characteristic of a musical tone to be generated. A keyboard is provided as a data input device by which tone pitch is designated and on which a performance manner is expressed via initial touch and after touch. A memory stores two sets of performance information, each set containing bowing force and bowing velocity information. An interpolating unit operates to access the memory for carrying out interpolation between the two sets of performance information according to the performance manner, and produces respective interpolated performance information regarding bowing force and bowing velocity information effective to control the artificial sound source. The electronic sound source is also controlled by the interpolated performance information.
