Abstract:
A sample data reproduction apparatus adapted to be connected to a storage device storing therein sample data and adapted to reproduce the sample data by reading out the sample data from said storage device, said sample data reproduction apparatus comprising:a buffer memory; a control device coupled with said storage device and said buffer memory, said control device being adapted to: sequentially read out the sample data from said storage device and then write the read-out sample data into said buffer memory; read out the sample data from said buffer memory, one sample per sampling period; sequentially update the sample data at addresses of said buffer memory where sample data readout has been completed, with the sample data newly read out from said storage device; set a jump-from address and jump-to address while the sample data are being read out, sample by sample, from said buffer memory; and cause a read address of said buffer memory to jump to the jump-to address when the read address of said buffer memory reaches the set jump-from address, to carry on reading out the sample data from the jump-to address onward; and a reproduction circuit coupled to said control device and adapted to reproduce the sample data having been read out, sample by sample, from said buffer memory.
