ABSTRACT:
A desired tone signal is generated by the impulse response signals that are repetitively generated, and a tone is formed. Impulse response signals of a predetermined length corresponding to the frequency characteristics of the tone signal to be generated are repetitively generated. The recurring period of the impulse response signals repetitively generated varies depending upon a pitch-determining factor. The rate of generating the impulse response signals is changed depending upon a timbre-determining factor different from the pitch-determining factor, independently of the recurring period. Thus, the timbre of the tone signal formed from the impulse response signals is freely changed independently of the pitch.
