Abstract
Tone generation in conformity with the tone generating mechanism of actual rubbed string instruments is made to obtain musical tones rich in reality as generated by natural musical instruments. Performance information outputted from a performance manipulator is converted into tone generation parameter by parameter generating means. Excitation means generate an excitation signal corresponding to the string-rubbing style on the basis of the tone generation parameter. A loop circuit gives both acoustic and propagation delay of the string to the excitation signal to thereby generate musical tone signals.
