Assuming that the control voltage generating circuit 4 outputs a control signal having a waveform as shown in FIG.
It is given to CF1 and write VCA2. Inversion circuit 7
The control signal via the is supplied to the left VCA3. The waveform of this control signal is shown in FIG. When the musical tone signal to VCF1 come inputted, FIG. 2, the output of from a low level of control signal at the time of T 1 of the Figure 3 VCF1 becomes a tone signal lower sound only low frequency components. This musical tone signal has a low control signal level in the light VCA 2 and is therefore emitted from the light speaker 5 as a musical tone signal having a low level. On the other hand, in the left VCA 3, the tone signal has a high level of the inverted signal, so that the tone signal becomes a high-level tone signal and is emitted from the left speaker 6.

このため、両スピーカ5、6により形成される音像定位
