Abstract:
A method of generating musical tones which is executed on a computer, comprising:a performance information receiving step of receiving performance information which designates a pitch of each of the musical tones to be generated; a control information receiving step of receiving control information; a generating step of carrying out, at predetermined time intervals, a musical tone waveform calculation in response to the received performance information, for generating a plurality of musical tone waveform samples for each of a plurality of channels, wherein the predetermined time intervals are longer than a sampling cycle of the musical tone waveform samples, each of the musical tone waveform samples generated has the pitch designated by said performance information, and the number of said waveform sample generated is controlled by said control information; and a reproducing step of playing back said musical tone waveform samples generated by said generating step.
