Waveform production method and apparatus using shot-tone-related rendition style waveform

A waveform production apparatus for time-serially combining a plurality of rendition style modules and thereby producing a continuous tone waveform having rendition style characteristics corresponding to the combined rendition style modules, said waveform production apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing a plurality of rendition style modules, said memory storing at least a shot-tone-related rendition style module integrally including characteristics of an attack portion and release portion, an attack-related rendition style module having a characteristic of an attack portion and a release-related rendition style module;
• and
• a processor coupled with said memory and adapted to:
• select whether the shot-tone-related rendition style module should be used or a combination of the attack-related rendition style module and release-related rendition style module should be used, in order to produce a tone waveform having an attach portion and release portion;
• read out, from said memory, two or more rendition style modules including the selected rendition style module and allot the read-out rendition style modules to a time axis;
• and
• produce a continuous tone waveform on the basis of the rendition style modules allotted to the time axis.

A waveform production method for time-serially combining a plurality of rendition style modules and thereby producing a continuous tone waveform having rendition style characteristics corresponding to the combined rendition style modules, a shot-tone-related rendition style module including characteristics of an attack portion and release portion being stored in a memory in association with a predetermined rendition style, said waveform production method comprising:

• selecting the shot-tone-related rendition style module from said memory, in order to produce a tone waveform having a characteristic of the predetermined rendition style;
• reading out, from said memory, two or more rendition style modules including the shot-tone-related rendition style module selected by the step of selecting, and allotting the read-out rendition style modules to a time axis;
• and
• producing a continuous tone waveform on the basis of the rendition style modules allotted to the time axis.
