ABSTRACT:
A musical tone synthesizing apparatus for generating a musical tone which is influenced not only by blowing pressure and embouchure, etc. but also effected by the movement of a performer's tongue. The apparatus comprises an operating part WC having a mouthpiece part and a reed part; a breath measuring sensor for measuring breath passing through the mouthpiece part; a tonguing detector for measuring the relative position of a performer's tongue to the reed part; a musical tone forming circuit TC for simulating the mouthpiece, the reed, and the resonance tube of the acoustic wind instrument in response to an output signal of the breath measuring sensor so as to create a musical tone signal; and a tonguing effector for changing a simulating characteristic of the reed of the acoustic wind instrument in response to an output signal of the tonguing detector.
