Abstract:
A method for generating tone waveform data on the basis of given performance data, said method comprising the steps of:receiving performance data including a tone generation instruction data; determining, on the basis of said performance data, a style of rendition at the beginning of a tone waveform to be generated in response to the tone generation instruction data; updating, on the basis of said performance data, the style of rendition periodically; and generating a tone waveform data, wherein when the tone generation instruction data is received by said step of receiving, said step of generating starts generation of the tone waveform data and in accordance with the tone generation instruction data and the determined style of rendition, and when the style of rendition is updated by said step of updating, said step of generating controls the tone waveform data, being currently generated, to correspond to the updated style of rendition.
