Abstract: In a synthesizer 10, when a function of a tone generation module 312 provided by an external tone generation server 310 is usable, a tone generator control module 102 assigns a necessary number of sound generation channels among sound generation channels of an internal tone generation unit 17 and sound generation channels of the external tone generation module 312, for sound generation corresponding to MIDI data. When assigning the sound generation channel of the tone generation module 312, the tone generator control module 102 transmits, to the tone generation server 310, 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 module 312 to generate waveform data according to the transmitted MIDI data.

Abstract: Sound signal indicative of a human voice or musical tone is input, and the pitch of the input sound signal is detected. Then, a scale note pitch is determined which is nearest to the detected pitch of the input sound signal. In the meantime, a scale note pitch of an additional sound or harmony sound to be added to the input sound is specified in accordance with a harmony mode selected by a user. The scale note pitch of the additional sound to be generated is modified in accordance with a difference between the determined scale note pitch and the detected pitch of the input sound signal. Because the additional sound is generated with the modified pitch, it can appropriately follow a variation in the pitch of the input sound to be in harmony with the input sound, rather than exactly agreeing with the scale note pitch. As another example, reference scale note pitch data may be supplied, instead of the scale note pitch nearest to the detected pitch of the input sound signal being determined in the above-mentioned manner.

Abstract: A harmony tone generating apparatus receives a voice wave signal bearing musical tone pitches such as a singer's or a speaker's human voice signal and a musician's instrumental voice signal, and plural kinds of performance data, each representing a musical note pitch, from plural kinds of performance sources. The latest received performance data from among the plural performance sources is captured and supplied to a harmony tone data generator, which in turn generates harmony tone data defining a tone pitch which is determined by the note pitch represented by the performance data. As the harmony tone data generator includes a limited number of data generation-channels, the limited number of the latest captured performance data pieces are assigned thereto for harmony data generation, truncating the oldest supplied performance data for new data assignment, where there is no empty channel left and newly captured performance data is supplied. A harmony voice signal will be produced with a tone pitch determined by the captured performance data and in a voice determined by the voice of the received voice wave signal. The original voice wave signal may be sounded in audible voice, and the performance data may be sounded in audible music.

Abstract: An audio processing apparatus is constructed for generating an auxiliary audio signal based on an original audio signal and mixing the auxiliary audio signal to the original audio signal. In the apparatus, a control section designates a pitch of the auxiliary audio signal. A processing section processes the original audio signal under control of the control section to generate the auxiliary audio signal having the designated pitch, and applies a first effect to the generated auxiliary audio signal. An effector section applies a second effect different from the first effect to the original audio signal. An output section outputs the original audio signal applied with the second effect concurrently with the auxiliary audio signal applied with the first effect. The control section may control the processing section to alter the first effect dependently on a difference between a pitch of the original audio signal and the designated pitch of the auxiliary audio signal.

Abstract: A music apparatus is constructed for receiving an input signal composed of either of a voice signal and a tone signal and for processing the input signal based on a timbre change command signal to generate at least one channel of an output signal. In the music apparatus, a reference pitch designation section designates a reference pitch. An output signal generation section receives the input signal, the timbre change command signal and the reference pitch designated by the reference pitch designation section for changing a timbre of the input signal in accordance with the timbre change command signal, and for changing a pitch of the input signal above or below the reference pitch in accordance with the timbre change command signal, thereby generating the output signal having the changed timbre and the changed pitch.
