An electronic tone generator in which a plurality of types of scale data and tone-length data are stored in an associative arrangement at predetermined addresses in a single storage device. The plurality of types of scale data read from the single storage device are input to corresponding waveform generators, where melody-waveform signals are generated. The melody-waveform signals generated in the respective waveform generators are mixed and synthesized by a mixer before being output from an output device. The waveform generators are adapted to switch envelope waveforms generated by envelope-waveform generators of a digital circuit configuration with waveform signals corresponding to the scale data, thereby obtaining melody-waveform signals. One of the waveform generators is adapted to generate a melody-waveform signal having a frequency which is an integral multiplication of the frequency of a main melody, for example, three times the frequency thereof, or to generate a melody-waveform signal giving a tremolo effect. To this electronic tone generator can be added a waveform generator for generating a percussion-waveform signal; the melody-waveform signals can be mixed and synthesized with the percussion-waveform signal, which makes it possible to output a melody with an accompaniment.
