ABSTRACT:
A keyboard operated musical instrument is disclosed in which musical tones having a variable spectral content are produced from waveshape data values that read out from a stored set of waveshape data points. A second set of data values is computed at the same rate as the rate for sequentially reading out the stored set of data values. A data select means periodically selects a sequence of the read out waveshape data points followed by the selection of a sequence of points from the second set of data values. The selected data points are converted into audible musical tones. Provision is made for varying the shape of the second set of data values in a time dependent fashion as well as to vary the time for which each data set is selected.
