Abstract: A piezo pickup which detects a key depression vibration occurred by a key depression operation is provided on the center of the lower surface of a key switch board where key switches of a keyboard are arranged. A CPU acquires the key number of a depressed key and a distance between the key switch of this key number and the piezo pickup in response to the key depression operation, and controls the sound volume and the tone color of a musical sound at a pitch corresponding to the key number based on control data acquired by correcting the detection output level (piezo input envelope waveform) of the piezo pickup in accordance with the acquired distance.

Abstract: An electric keyboard musical instrument 10 includes: keys 32; third switches 36 that detect that the keys 32 are pressed down to a position x3; various switches 12 to 15 that receive a selection of a kind of tone; and a CPU 21 that executes generating a sound with a tone of the kind received by various switches 12 to 15 in response to the third switch 36 detecting that a key 32 is pressed down to a position x3. The CPU 21 changes a time from when the third switch 36 detects that a key 32 is pressed down to position x3 until sound generation is executed, according to a kind of tone received through the various switches 12 to 15.

Abstract: In the present invention, a click sound corresponding to key depression speed is generated, and the production timings of fundamental and harmonic components respectively corresponding to each footage are changed to vary from one another in accordance with a wait time, whereby the fundamental and the harmonic components to be synthesized by additive synthesis are changed to differ from one another. Next, a click sound corresponding to key release speed is generated, and the stop timings of the fundamental and harmonic components are changed to vary from one another in accordance with a wait time, whereby the fundamental and the harmonic components to be muted are changed to differ from one another. Accordingly, by the click sound being mixed with the drawbar sound having these slight tone changes, a unique drawbar sound such as that generated by the sound producing mechanism of an actual drawbar organ is generated.

Abstract: Resonators generate resonance sound data of given resonant frequencies based on sound signal data corresponding to a pitch of a key. Each resonator includes a delay circuit which delays an input based on delay time data, a second adder which adds an output from the delay circuit to input sound signal data, and a low-pass filter which performs filtering depending on a filter control signal on the output from the second adder. An output from the low-pass filter is input to the delay circuit, and a first adder adds outputs from the resonators. A storage device stores a coefficient table containing items of delay time data to be provided to the resonators, and the items of the delay time data do not match with frequencies corresponding to pitches of keys.

Abstract: Upon activation by a power-on operation, a CPU transfers part of waveform data items of predetermined tone colors from a waveform data storage to a waveform RAM, and after this, transfers data items including the remaining waveform data to be transferred. Thereby, a musical sound generating device assigns the transferred waveform data items to make it playable when the transfer of the part of the waveform data has been completed, and changes the assignment of the waveform data to make it playable in an ordinary state when the transfer of the remaining waveform data has been terminated.

Abstract: In a musical tone generating apparatus 100, sampling waveform data sampled by a sampling inputting section 15 is, after being divided into an n-number of segments, stored in divided areas W(1) to W(n) of a sampling waveform data area SWDE, respectively. When a chord is played in which a subsequent key is pressed within a predetermined time after the preceding key is pressed (Step SC4 to Step SC5), sampling sounds are produced at the respective pitches of the pressed keys with the use of sampling waveform data in the same divided area W(n) designated by the same pointer n value as that when the preceding key is pressed (Step SC6).
