AUDIO PROCESSING DEVICE AND AUDIO PROCESSING METHOD

There is provided a sound processing apparatus and a sound processing method which are capable of reproducing discrete data with a high-quality sound matching users' preferences. In a sound processing means 2, since an interpolation value reflecting a value of a variable parameter ± by which the value of a control sampling function c 0 (t) is multiplied can be calculated, an analog signal obtained through the interpolation performed in a sampling function S N (t) can be regulated in accordance with the variable parameter ± by changing the value of the variable parameter ±. In this way, by allowing the user to appropriately change the variable parameter ± in accordance with various conditions including music reproduction environments, sound sources, musical tones and so on, it becomes possible to reproduce high-quality-sound music in which its frequency characteristics of the analog signal have changed and a high quality desired by the user is obtained.
