Abstract
A synthesizer includes a controller which generates an address signal in response to a trigger code corresponding to a sequence of a synthesis of a plurality of basic speech sections; a memory for storing sets of data corresponding to the sequence of the synthesis of the speech sections; a tone counter and a speech/melody generator which receives the data from the memory. In response to control signals from the controller and a tone control signal from the tone counter the speech/melody generator provides synthesized speech or melody mixing with each other in a selective manner.
