Electronic musical instrument with graphic representation of note timings

摘要

In an electronic musical instrument, a controllable auto-player function controls to read out note data for an auto-play at the timings responsive to external instructions by an operation means, producing tones based on the readout note data. A display means displays in advance the tone generation timings of the respective tones to be generated on the basis of the note data with notation using a row of graphic patterns and their spacings. The graphic pattern changes to another pattern to indicate the note that has been instructed for tone generation.
