ABSTRACT:
A tone generator comprises a basic wave memory for storing a first basic wave data of a musical tone signal, a differential wave memory for storing differential wave data between the first basic wave data and a second basic wave data which is different form the first basic wave data, and mixing device for mixing the first basic wave data and the differential wave data. The musical tone signal is produced by using the mixing device which mixes the basic wave data and the differential wave data without using directly stored sampling data memory. Further a multiplier for multiplying said differential wave data by random factors is provided, the random factors being distributed with normalized probability, resulting in that wave data not only varying tone color at random, but also resembling as a whole the basic wave tone color can be obtained.
