Abstract
A desired offset value is set and difference between this offset value and touch data is obtained. A touch response control is performed in either of positive and negative directions. This difference data may be changed and adjusted by a desired touch sensitivity parameter. In a case where data used for a tone control is transferred from suitable reference data to control data corresponding to touch data, following interpolation from the reference data to the control data is made and a tone control is made in response to data obtained by this interpolation. In this case, coefficients for the following interpolation are caused to change gradually so that tone control data obtained by the interpolation will change smoothly. An abrupt change in a tone control signal thereby can be prevented and a touch response control which is not accompanied by unnaturalness can be realized.
