ABSTRACT:
A vibration signal (e.g. a human voice) is generated at a desired pitch corresponding to a tone pitch of a musical tone desired to be generated, and is input via a microphone. The pitch of the input vibration signal and an amplitude (volume) level thereof are detected. When an amplitude level equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold level has been detected but the pitch has not been detected yet, an instruction of generation of a noise tone is issued thereby to generate the noise tone. Thereafter, when a certain pitch is detected, a musical tone is generated at a pitch determined according to the detected pitch. In this way, a noise tone is generated during a delay in pitch detection, and a delay in response at the start of sounding is absorbed.
