Abstract
A musical sound synthesizer generates a predetermined singing sound based on performance data. A compression device determines whether each of a plurality of phonemes forming the predetermined singing sound is a first phoneme to be sounded in accordance with a note-on signal indicative of a note-on of the performance data, and compresses a rise time of the first phoneme when the first phoneme is sounded in accordance with occurrence of the note-on signal of the performance data.
