  • Voice generation control apparatus
    Patent number: 5978765
    Abstract: A voice generation control apparatus includes a one-bit voice flag, a voice start address register used for temporarily saving a voice start address, and a terminator detector for detecting a terminator in a voice data memory. Voice generation is started when the voice flag is set, while voice generation is terminated when the voice flag is reset upon an output of a terminator from the voice data memory. As a result, the voice generation is smoothly started and terminated by a simple system and simple operations.
