Abstract

A method for processing a digital signal produced by digitizing an analog signal such as a musical instrument sound signal. The fundamental frequency or pitch is detected by performing Fourier transform to produce frequency components, phase matching these frequency components and performing inverse Fourier transform. By applying the signal processing method to a sound source data forming apparatus, sound source data may be formed which is reduced in the looping noise and error caused by data compression and which is of superior sound quality. <IMAGE>
