An electronic sound generating device is proposed which can generate sound that is complex, profound and high in fidelity to acoustic sound. Sound of the acoustic instruments consists of a plurality of harmonics. Some of the harmonics have swings on their envelope curves, thereby causing beats of the sound. Inspired by this feature, the present invention causes swing on predetermined harmonics in synthesizing a plurality of harmonics for generating sound. A construction for swinging the envelope curves is also proposed.
