ABSTRACT:
Basic tone waveform corresponding to a designated tone color and pitch is generated in each of a plurality of channels. Effect is imparted to the basic tone waveform in accordance with an algorithm for providing a predetermined effect, independently for each of the channels. The effect to be imparted is controlled in accordance with the designated tone pitch, separately for each of the channels. The effect impartment may be conducted using a processor, such as a DSP, executing a predetermined program containing a predetermined effect-imparting algorithm. In one example of the effect-imparting algorithm, a delay loop is employed through which an input exciting signal is circulated while being delayed, and an effect specific to an electromagnetic pickup of an electric guitar can be approximated by controlling the delay amount in the delay loop. In another example of the effect-imparting algorithm, a ransom signal is generated to control a cutoff frequency on the basis of the random signal, the basic tone waveform is filtered in accordance with the thus-controlled cutoff frequency, and the resultant filtered tone waveform is circulated through a delay loop whose delay amount is controlled in accordance with the designated tone pitch.
