Abstract

In a sound synthesizer, a noise adder generates a noise signal having a frequency band of 3,400 to 4,600 Hz, adjusts the gain of the noise signal, and adds the gain-adjusted noise signal to an excitation source after being filled with zeros by a zero-filling circuit, thereby providing a wide-band excitation source which is rather flat. The signal gain is adjusted by determining a narrow-band excitation source or a power of the wide-band excitation source after being filled with zeros and fitting the gain to the narrow-band excitation source or the power.
