A sequence generator for a polyphonic tone synthesizer in which a repetitive sequence of musical notes or chords are generated automatically. During a Code mode of operation, each key operated on the keyboard causes an associated data word identifying the specific key by keyboard, octave and note to be stored in a memory. Time data as to the relative time the note is to go on and go off is also stored as part of the data word. During a Play mode of operation, the data words are read out of memory in the sequence in which they were generated. The words are decoded and the time data compared with a real time clock to provide signals to the output of the keyboard which duplicate the signals from the corresponding keys. The time duration of these signals is controlled by the time on and time off data to duplicate the required time that the respective notes are to be played.
