Abstract
Waveform memory (12) stores a plurality of consecutive waveform sampling value data at a single address. Even when some waveform sampling values are skipped in a process of reproducing a musical tone of a frequency higher than a pitch inherent to a waveform prestored in the memory (12), all of the consecutive sampling values are sequentially read out and stored in temporary storage means (40.about.46) so that the interpolation calculation is accurately performed using the consecutive sampling values.
