A sound signal processing method includes: obtaining a sound signal; obtaining impulse response data that was measured in a predetermined space before the sound signal is obtained; generating an early reflected sound control signal not including a reverberant sound by convolving impulse response data of an early reflected sound among the obtained impulse response data into the obtained sound signal.

An effect addition device includes at least one processor that executes a time domain convolution process of convolving a first time domain data part of impulse response of sound effects with a time domain data on an original sound, a frequency domain convolution process of convoluting a second time domain data part of the impulse response data with the time domain data on the original sound, a convolution extension process of extending a convolved state(s) of an output signal(s) resulting from the time domain convolution process and/or the frequency domain convolution process by arithmetic processing which corresponds to an all-pass filter and/or arithmetic processing which corresponds to a comb filter, and a synthesized sound effect addition process of adding a sound effect which is synthesized by execution of the time domain convolution process, the frequency domain convolution process and the convolution extension process to the original sound.

The implementation of modal processors, which involve the parallel combination resonant filters, may be costly for applications such as artificial reverberation that can require thousands of modes. In one embodiment, the input signal is decomposed into a plurality of subbands, the outputs of which are downsampled. In each downsampled band, resonant filters are applied at the downsampled sampling rate, and their output is upsampled and filtered to form the band output. In these and other embodiments, a feature of responses of the mode filters have been optimized to minimize an aspect of a residual error after a point in time.
