An electronic musical instrument reads data of a musical tone from a waveform memory thereof according to pitch information input thereto, to form a tone signal containing a tone amplitude signal indicative of amplitude of the musical tone. The tone signal is passed into a plurality of signal paths to be formed into a plurality of analog tone signals. The plurality of signals paths each amplify the tone amplitude signal according to a note on/off velocity, and attenuate a plurality of modifications of the tone signal, depending on or not depending on the note on/off velocity and the pitch information on the musical tone, to generate a musical tone suitably reflecting the note on/off velocity and the pitch.
In an electronic musical instrument including memory means for storing data of musical tones, a reader for reading data of a musical tone from said memory means according to pitch information input thereto corresponding to a key operated, to thereby form a tone data signal containing a tone amplitude signal indicative of an amplitude of said musical tone, dividing means for dividing said tone data signal into a plurality of tone data signals, and a plurality of signal paths each for processing one of said plurality of tone data signals into a tone signal
