Abstract
A tone signal generating apparatus, including a memory for storing wave data containing frequency components within a full band; a tone generator for reading the wave data from the memory in accordance with key ON/OFF data to generate a tone signal; a velocity generator for generating a velocity value based on key ON/OFF data; a first coefficient processor for producing a first coefficient to control the amplitude in accordance with the velocity value generated by the velocity generator; a first operator for performing an operation on the first coefficient produced by the first coefficient processor and the tone signal generated by the tone generator, a filter for extracting frequency components within a specific band from the tone signal output from the first operator to produce a first tone signal and outputting the first tone signal; a second coefficient processor for producing a second coefficient to control the amplitude in accordance with the velocity value generated by the velocity generator; and a second operator for performing an operation on the second coefficient produced by the second coefficient processor and the tone signal produced by the tone generator to obtain a second tone signal and outputting the second tone signal.
