ABSTRACT:
A musical tone synthesizing apparatus conducts musical tone synthesis based on the tone generation mechanism of an acoustic musical instrument, and generates quickly and accurately desired musical tones in response to the operation of the beginning of tone generation. The musical tone synthesizing apparatus includes a performance data generation mechanism which generates performance data in accordance with performance operations, an excitation circuit, which generates an excitation signal in correspondence with the performance data, and a signal loop circuit which delays the excitation signal by a fixed period and repeatedly cycles the excitation signal. The performance data generation mechanism, furthermore, supplies an initial excitation control signal, which is for the purpose of exciting the signal loop circuit, to the excitation circuit during the initial generation of a musical tone. Thereby, resonant operation is quickly conducted in accordance with the initial excitation control signal, so that desired musical tones can be swiftly and accurately generated.
