Abstract
A single signal processor performs a pitch process which produces musical sound waveform data having a frequency corresponding to received pitch data, a filtering process for filtering the generated musical sound waveform data, and an amplitude process which controls the amplitude of a musical sound generated on the basis of the filtered musical sound waveform data in order to produce a musical sound. It simultaneously performs outputting the produced musical sound waveform data to a plurality of output terminals and an effect process which imparts an effect to the musical sound data. The signal processor outputs at least one of musical sound waveform data to which the effect is imparted and musical sound waveform data to which no effects are imparted, using at least one of an external and an internal effect circuit to thereby impart a variety of effects to the resulting musical sound.
