Patent ID: 6881888

Claim:
A waveform production apparatus for time-serially combining a plurality of rendition style modules and thereby producing a continuous tone waveform having rendition style characteristics corresponding to the combined rendition style modules, said waveform production apparatus comprising: a memory storing a plurality of rendition style modules, said memory storing at least a shot-tone-related rendition style module integrally including characteristics of an attack portion and release portion in association with a predetermined rendition style; and a processor coupled with said memory and adapted to: select the shot-tone-related rendition style module from said memory, in order to produce a tone waveform having a characteristic of the predetermined rendition style; read out, from said memory, two or more rendition style modules including the selected shot-tone-related rendition style module and allot the read-out rendition style modules to a time axis; and produce a continuous tone waveform on the basis of the rendition style modules allotted to the time axis.
