Abstract
Storage section stores therein a plurality of tone data sets each representative of a tone waveform but also a plurality of character data sets in association with the tone data sets, each of the character data sets representing content of the tone waveform, represented by the corresponding tone data set, in character quanta. Display control section causes a display section to display an image with some of the stored tone data sets as selection candidates. Selection section is provided for a user to select at least one of the tone data sets displayed as the selection candidates. Identification section searches for and identifies a plurality of character data sets similar to the character data set corresponding to the user-selected tone data set.
