ABSTRACT:
A modulation effect adding apparatus in which when an input signal is written into a memory and read and output with a given delay time, the delay time is changed depending on an LFO waveform to thereby add a modulation effect to the input signal. The LFO waveform is obtained by passing through a low pass filter a waveform signal comprising multiple high harmonic components and changing in a positive- or negative-going direction at a particular period. By changing the characteristic of the low pass filter, various LFO waveforms are obtained. An offset value corresponding to the maximum peak value of the LFO waveform is added to the LFO waveform, and the resulting waveform is multiplied by an offset value having a predetermined magnification and inverting the waveform signal to thereby prevent a memory read address from disadvantageously exceeding a write address.
