ABSTRACT:
A musical tone synthesizing apparatus for synthesizing musical tones generated by acoustic instruments. In the musical tone synthesizing apparatus, a closed loop circuit is provided to simulate the vibration of a vibrating element, for example, a string of piano. Additionally provided is a excitation and damping control unit for generating signals to be introduced to the closed loop circuit. When generating musical tones, the excitation and damping control unit generates an excitation signal corresponding to the excitation operation applied to the vibrating element from a excitation element, for example, a hamper of piano. When damping the musical tones, the excitation and damping control unit generates a signal corresponding to the excitation operation applied to the vibrating element from a damping element, for example, a damper of piano.
