Abstract:
A tone generatore for generating and producing a tone base on tone information by mixing at least first to third tone component signals, characterized by comprising:waveform storage means for storing a first waveform signal in which the first and second tone components are synthesized, and a second waveform signal consisting of the third tone component;first tone component signal acquisition means for acquiring the first tone component signal by extracting said first tone component from the first waveform signal of said waveform storage means;second tone component signal acquisition means for acquiring the second tone component signal by extracting said second tone component from the first waveform signal of said waveform storage means;control means for executing operation by switching said first tone component signal acquisition means and said second tone component signal acquisition means on the basis of said tone information; andtone signal generation means for generating a tone signal based on said tone information by mixing, by the operation execution control in said control means, the first tone component signal obtained by said first tone component signal acquisition means or the second tone component signal obtained by said second tone component signal acquisition means, and the third tone component signal acquired from the second waveform signal of said waveform storage means.
