Abstract
A sound effect data generating apparatus has a starting point setting portion, an endpoint setting portion, a travel point defining portion and a data generating portion. The starting point setting portion and the endpoint setting portion set a starting point and an endpoint specified by position information, respectively. The travel point defining portion sequentially defines a point which is situated on a line connecting between the set starting point and the set endpoint and is specified by position information, as a travel point in accordance with progression of reproduced tone signals. The data generating portion determines a value of at least one parameter on one sound effect which is to be added to the tone signals on the basis of the position information of the defined travel point, the set starting point and the set endpoint, and generates sound effect data in accordance with the determined parameter value.
