ABSTRACT:
A musical tone synthesizing apparatus is designed to simulate the acoustic sounds of non-electronic musical instruments. In the non-electronic musical instrument providing the resonator such as the piano and guitar, the produced acoustic sound contains three kinds of sounds, i.e., a direct sound, a resonant sound and a transient sound. Herein, the direct sound is produced directly by playing the instrument, the resonant sound is produced from the resonator based on the direct sound and the transient sound is produced when the impulse to be occurred by playing the instrument propagates through the resonator. Thus, signals simulating these sounds respectively are mixed together so as to produce the synthesized musical tone signal, which well-simulates the acoustic sound.
