Abstract
In a synthesizer, when a function of a tone generation moduleprovided by an external tone generation serveris usable, a tone generator control moduleassigns a necessary number of sound generation channels among sound generation channels of an internal tone generation unitand sound generation channels of the external tone generation module, for sound generation corresponding to MIDI data. When assigning the sound generation channel of the tone generation module, the tone generator control moduletransmits, to the tone generation server, the MIDI data with identification information of the assigned sound generation channel, thereby causing the sound generation channel indicated by the identification information in the tone generation moduleto generate waveform data according to the transmitted MIDI data.
