ABSTRACT:
A loop circuit including a delay element and an all-pass filter circulates a tone signal. A driving waveform is applied to the loop circuit. The delay element provides a delay time corresponding to the pitch of the circulating tone signal and the all-pass filter is capable of changing the phase of the tone signal corresponding to its frequency. Thus, the resulting musical tone can be controlled in accordance with touch, thereby enabling the simulation of vibration of pitch and the generation of non-harmonic components caused by touch in a natural musical instrument.
