A sound constituting apparatus translates a sensor output, as detected by an input detection unit, such as state changes, into electrical signals. A data extracting unit makes use of these electrical signals as an information concerning an external environment to extract the results of analyses of the information concerning the external environment as data. A sound source controlling unit outputs sound source controlling data, based on the data extracted by the data extracting unit, and translates the output signals into a modified sound by a sound producing device to eliminate time constraint. In producing the sound, at least one of physical parameters, namely the noise of the external environment, vibrations, light, temperature, humidity or atmospheric pressure, time parameters such as time, day and season and biological information parameters, such as brain waves, body temperature, pulsation, perspiration, number of breaths, is selected to detect the state or changes in the state in such external environment or living body for conversion into electrical signals. The apparatus then fetches the information concerning the external environment to translate it instantly into an output sound totally different from the original sound. In this manner, a sound totally different from the original sound is produced and outputted without employing complex theories.
A sound constituting apparatus in which information of phoneme elements constituting a first sound is previously stored in a storage element and is interacted with a state of an external environment or changes of said state to produce a modified sound on a real-time basis without constraint as to a play time interval, comprising:
