A number (M) of sound source signals T1, T2, T3, T4, each having at least
one information element of position information, movement information and
localization information, are synthesized to N sound source signals SL,
SR based on the information element where N is smaller than the number
(M) of the sound source signals and the N synthesized sound source
signals SL, SR having this synthesized information are localized in a
virtual sound image. An amount of data to be processed can be reduced
while virtual reality can be realized by the synthesized sound source
signals.
