Abstract:
A waveform generating method comprising the steps of:storing a plurality of partial waveforms in a partial waveform memory; storing property information on respective ones of the partial waveforms stored in the partial waveform memory, in a property information memory, the property information being indicative of at least one characteristic of performance relating to a corresponding one of the partial waveforms that is included in a phrase, the characteristic being obtained by actual performance of the phrase; detecting a partial waveform having property information corresponding to inputted sounding control information by referring to the property information memory according to the inputted sounding control information, and reading out the detected partial waveform from the partial waveform memory; processing the readout partial waveform according to the property information and the sounding control information; and generating a waveform corresponding to the sounding control information.
