A music apparatus capable of adding various effects to musical sounds comprises: a processor; a waveform generator; and a program memory storing instructions for causing the processor to execute a musical sound generating process according to first performance information, the musical sound generating process comprising the steps of: (a) receiving the first performance information; (b) creating second performance information according to said received first performance information or third performance information formed by processing said created second performance information; (c) selectively repeating said creating step (b); (d) selectively designating said repeatedly creating step (c) to create fourth performance information different from the previously created performance information; and (e) generating musical sound according to the second, third or fourth performance information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a music apparatus capable of adding various effects to music sounds.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a music apparatus comprising: a processor; a waveform generator; and a program memory storing instructions for causing the processor to execute a musical sound generating process according to first performance information, the musical sound generating process comprising the steps of: (a) receiving the first performance information; (b) creating second performance information according to said received first performance information or third performance information formed by processing said created second performance information; (c) selectively repeating said creating step (b); (d) selectively designating said repeatedly creating step (c) to create fourth performance information different from the previously created performance information; and (e) generating musical sound according to the second, third or fourth performance information.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a music apparatus comprising: a processor; an input device for inputting first performance information; a waveform generator; and a program memory storing instructions for causing the processor to execute a musical sound generating process according to the first performance information, the musical sound generating process comprising the steps of: (a) inputting the first performance information; (b) creating second performance information according to said input first performance information or third performance information formed by processing said created second performance information; (c) selectively repeating said creating step (b); (d) selectively controlling number of repeating said repeatedly creating step (c); and (e) generating musical sound according to the second, third or fourth performance information.
In repetitively producing musical sounds of performance data, for example, the sound volume can be lowered gradually or it can be alternately and repetitively changed large or small
