Waveform data is read out from a memory which stores the waveform data at a rate corresponding to a designated pitch. The readout data is supplied to digital filters, and two or more different filtering operations are executed in the digital filters. Two or more waveform data obtained as a filtering result are synthesized at a rate determined in response to a breath input signal output from a breath sensor, and the synthesized data is output as a musical tone waveform signal. The filter performs the filtering operation while a cut-off frequency is changed in response to the breath input signal.

Waveform generating apparatus for an electronic musical instrument using

A plurality of pad operating means for manual operation are provided on a keyboard panel of an electronic keyboard musical instrument. When an operator operates the pad operating means using the keyboard during melody play, an operation signal is supplied to a CPU, and a rhythm sound corresponding to the operated pad is generated under control of the CPU. An automatic sound signal generator is provided for generating and outputting sound signals according to a designated rhythm, and selectively stops such sound signal generation. A sounding system is provided for sounding the signals received thereby.
