PURPOSE:To play a music with a colorful quality of tone with a small amount of storage capacity in an automatic playing device. CONSTITUTION:In a rhythm pattern memory, a musical instrument group number IGN and a series of event data EVT which follow prescribed rhythm patterns are stored for every rhythm kind. The IGN represents one group among 8 musical groups. Each musical instrument group includes 8 musical instrument tone colors that are to be used to play one or plural kinds of rhythms and these musical instrument tone colors respectively correspond to 8 sound generating channels of a rhythm sound source section. The EVT includes a channel number CHN and sound generation timing data in a first byte and pitch and volume control data in a second byte. The CHN represents one of the 8 sound generation channels. During a performance, a musical instrument color tone such as cymbals is determined by the IGN and the CHN for every sound generating channel. |
