Abstract:
A tone synthesizing apparatus comprising:a device adapted to receive performance information having a plurality of musical events;a general-purpose processor adapted to execute tone synthesizing processing;a dedicated tone generating device adapted to execute tone synthesizing processing; anda control device which, for each of the events of the performance information received by said adapted device, instructs at least one of said general-purpose processor and said dedicated tone generating device to execute the tone synthesizing processing based on the event,wherein when said control device is to instruct said dedicated tone generating device to execute the tone synthesizing processing based on the event, said control device instructs said dedicated tone generating device to execute the tone synthesizing processing only after a lapse of a time that is necessary for said general-purpose processor to perform the tone synthesizing processing, to thereby adjust tone generation timing of said dedicated tone generating device to tone generation timing of said general-purpose processor.
