ABSTRACT:
Effect data designating a desired sound effect is introduced from the outside, and a tone generator generates a tone imparted with an effect based on the introduced effect data. A conversion table is provided which classifies predetermined effects impartable by the tone generator into groups in accordance with characteristics of the effects and stores for each of the groups effect data indicative of effect belonging to the group. If it is ascertained, from the table, that the introduced effect data designates an effect not impartable by the tone generator, the effect data indicative of another effect belonging to one of the groups which corresponds to a characteristic of the introduced effect data is extracted from the table. The tone generator imparts the tone the effect designated by the extracted effect data in place of the introduced effect data. The tone color data may also be introduced from the outside, and if the tone color data designates a tone color not generatable by the tone generator, the tone color data may be converted to another designating another tone color generatable by the tone generator. At that time, it is determined whether a combination of converted sound effect and tone color falls under a predetermined inhibition condition and, if so, at least one of the effect and tone color data is converted again so that the combination does not fall under the inhibition condition any longer.
