A succession of performance sounds is sampled, and the sampled performance sounds are divided into a plurality of time sections of variable lengths in accordance with respective characteristics of performance expression therein, to extract waveform data of each of the time sections as an articulation element. The waveform data of each of the extracted articulation elements are analyzed in terms of a plurality of predetermined tonal factors to thereby create template data of the individual tonal factors, and the thus-created template data are stored in a data base. Tone performance to be executed is designated by a time-serial sequence of a plurality of articulation elements, in response to which the respective waveform data of the individual articulation elements are read out from the data base to thereby synthesize a tone on the basis of the waveform data. Thus, it is possible to freely execute editing, such as replacement, modification or deletion, of the element corresponding to any desired time section. This arrangement facilitates realistic reproduction of the articulation (style-of-rendition) and control of such articulation reproduction, and achieves an interactive high-quality-tone making technique which provides for free sound making and editing operations by a user.
