摘要:
A musical sound generating apparatus creates a waveform to generate a musical sound according to performance information. In the apparatus, a first waveform generator is operable for creating a waveform. A second waveform generator is operable independently from the first waveform generator for creating a waveform. An input device provides performance information. A designating device designates at least one of the first waveform generator and the second waveform generator in correspondence with the provided performance information. A controller selectively operates the designated one of the first waveform generator and the second waveform generator to create the waveform according to the provided performance information. An output device generates the musical sound based on the created waveform. The second waveform generator, the input device, the designating device and the controller are integrated with each other to constitute a main part composed of a computer, while the first waveform generator alone constitutes a supplementary part which is separate from the main part and which is optionally installable in the computer.

In each of terminal devices, there is stored user profile information on the corresponding device. The user profile information includes data identifying the user, type and name of the device, information regarding a CPU, memory and operating system (OS) provided in the device, and information regarding various data and program stored in the device. When desired musical information data is to be downloaded from a host computer, a request for downloading optimum data is sent to the host computer. This permits efficient loading of data most suitable for system conditions. When data or program is to be loaded from a recording medium, such as a CD-ROM, rather than a communication network, efficient loading is permitted in a similar manner.

A desired offset value is set and difference between this offset value and touch data is obtained. A touch response control is performed in either of positive and negative directions. This difference data may be changed and adjusted by a desired touch sensitivity parameter. In a case where data used for a tone control is transferred from suitable reference data to control data corresponding to touch data, following interpolation from the reference data to the control data is made and a tone control is made in response to data obtained by this interpolation. In this case, coefficients for the following interpolation are caused to change gradually so that tone control data obtained by the interpolation will change smoothly. An abrupt change in a tone control signal thereby can be prevented and a touch response control which is not accompanied by unnaturalness can be realized.

In a sound source apparatus, a display unit displays a block diagram containing various functional blocks which represent corresponding elementary functions selectively usable for synthesis of a desired musical tone. A secondary memory provisionally stores a pair of an effective elementary program and an ineffective elementary program for each functional block such that the effective elementary program is designed to effectuate the corresponding elementary function while the ineffective elementary program is designed to ineffectuate the corresponding elementary function. An editor unit graphically treats the displayed block diagram so that each functional block is selected if the corresponding elementary function is necessary for the synthesis of the desired musical tone and is otherwise nonselected if the corresponding elementary function is unnecessary for the synthesis of the desired musical tone to thereby edit an algorithm which defines an arithmetic procedure for the synthesis of the desired musical tone. An assembler unit retrieves from the secondary memory an effective elementary program for each selected functional block so as to enable the corresponding elementary function, and retrieves an ineffective elementary program for each nonselected functional block so as to disable the corresponding elementary function to thereby assemble the retrieved ones of the effective and ineffective elementary programs into a complete program according to the edited algorithm. A primary memory stores the complete program. A generator unit is connected to the primary memory for executing the edited arithmetic procedure according to the stored complete program to thereby generate the desired musical tone.

A high-speed LSI chip to be tested and evaluated by a readily available low-speed semiconductor tester and evaluation equipment. The high-speed LSI includes within the chip a clock supply circuit for supplying a high speed clock and an internal circuit, connected to the clock supply circuit, in which the high-speed clock is supplied from the clock supply circuit. A method for testing and evaluating the LSI chip. The method includes the steps of: supplying a high-speed clock generated from a clock supply circuit which is located within the semiconductor chip; and sending back a result of a semiconductor chip in response to the high-speed clock to the tester/evaluation equipment to be evaluated.

A flip flop circuit includes a first latch circuit which latches an input data at a leading edge of a clock signal, a second latch circuit which latches the input data at a trailing edge of the clock signal, and a selector which, during a period from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the clock signal, selects an output data from the first latch circuit, and during a period of the trailing edge to a next leading edge of the clock signal, selects an output data from the second latch circuit, in which one of the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit functions as a master latch circuit for receiving a scan data during a scan mode, and the other of the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit functions as a slave latch circuit for latching data outputted from the master latch circuit.
摘要:
To allow a general-purpose processor and dedicated tone generator device to execute an ensemble with their tone generating timing properly matched with each other, tone synthesizing processing based on performance information is assigned to either the general-purpose processor or the dedicated tone generator device. The general-purpose processor, after completion of the tone synthesizing processing thereby, performs control to cause the dedicated tone generator device to execute the tone synthesizing processing assigned to the device. By the time the dedicated tone generator device starts the tone synthesizing processing, a time necessary for the general-purpose processor to execute the processing has already passed away, so that tones synthesized by the processor and tone generator device can be generated at properly matched timing.
