PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waveform loading type music tone generation device, method, program, and an electric musical instrument using the same in which silent time when sound production cannot be performed because no required waveform exists in the waveform memory is remarkably shortened when performing tone switching with transportation of a plurality of waveforms.SOLUTION: A tone comparison state determination subroutine (S1207) detects a tone comparison state in which a player performs tone comparison operation for tone selection. A waveform loading priority setting subroutine (S1208) performs, when the tone comparison state determination subroutine detects the tone comparison state, priority setting to a process loading waveform data from a large capacity flash memory into a waveform memory connected with a sound source LSI on the basis of history of performance information (for example, key pressing history) separately obtained. In the separately executed waveform loading process, the waveform data is loaded from the large capacity flash memory into the waveform memory connected with the sound source LSI based on the priority set by the waveform loading priority setting subroutine.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13 |
