Abstract: A singing sound-synthesizing apparatus sequentially synthesizes vocal sounds based on singing data including lyric data of a lyric formed of a plurality of phonemes and sounding data designating a sounding time period over which the lyric data is sounded. A designating device designates a predetermined voiced phoneme from the plurality of phonemes of the lyric data. A sounding control device carries out sounding control such that sounding of the predetermined voiced phoneme designated by the designating device is started within the sounding time period designated for the plurality of phonemes by the sounding data and continued until the sounding time period designated for the plurality of phonemes elapses. In another form, ones of phoneme parameter sets and ones of coarticulation parameter sets corresponding to signing data are read from a phoneme data storing the phoneme parameter sets and the coarticulation parameter sets.

Abstract: A plurality of digital signal processors are provided in parallel relation to each other, and a series of operations for desired sound signal synthesis or processing is divided into a plurality of operation groups to be allocated to the signal processors. First and second buses are connected to each of the signal processors so that parameters necessary for the operations are distributively supplied to the signal processors via the first bus and the operation result of each of the signal processors is transferred to another digital signal processor or an output port via the second bus. One digital signal processor receives the output data from another digital signal processor via the second bus so as to perform a predetermined operation using the received data. The desired sound signal processing is thus executed by combinations of the operations performed by such signal processors.

Abstract: The electronic musical instrument has synthesis means operative according to given tone control parameters for effecting a musical tone synthesis to generate a musical tone. Register means is provided for registering first data of a lower class and second data of an upper class in hierarchical data structure so as to constitute the tone control parameters. The first data is effective, at least, to define a timbre of a musical tone to be generated. The second data designates a plurality of the first data, effective to control the musical tone synthesis according to different timbres which are defined by the plurality of the first data. Edit means is provided for revising selectively the registered first data. Display means is provided for selectively indicating the second data which is associated to the first data to be revised in order for management of the hierarchical data structure.

Abstract: A method of integrally molding a member to be molded onto a portion of a rigid member, which method is applied to manufacture of a connecting rod used in a crank device of a wiper system in a motor vehicle, for example. In this method of molding, a portion to be positioned is formed in the rigid member, a portion of the rigid member is inserted into a cavity for molding the member to be molded in such a manner that the portion to be positioned is exposed in the cavity, positioning members linearly movably provided in this cavity are engaged with this portion to be positioned to effect positioning, the positioning members are retracted to the outside of the portion to be positioned after the positioning, and thereafter, a molding material is poured into the cavity to mold the member to be molded.
