ABSTRACT:
A device for generating a waveform of a musical tone, which comprises a waveform data memory for storing data representing the waveforms of a plurality of musical tones, a waveform data selector for selecting any combination of more than two waveform data stored in the waveform data memory, a sound emission instructing unit for issuing an instruction for emitting a musical tone, a waveform data reading unit for reading out the waveform data selected by the waveform data selector from the waveform data memory in a reading step of a processing program common to the musical tones, in response to an instruction issued by the sound emission instructing unit by effecting a time sharing processing, and a synthesizing unit for accumulating and synthesizing the waveform data read out by the waveform data reading unit.
