ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating the interrupt information includes an addressing device for generating the specified address information for specifying the desired information stored in a memory device, a readout address generating device for generating the readout address information of the desired information stored in the memory device, and a comparator device for comparing the specified address information from the addressing device and the readout address information from the readout address generating device and for generating the interrupt information in case of coincidence of the specified address information and the readout address information and supplying the interrupt information to a central processing unit. Since the interrupt data is supplied to the central processing unit at the playback timing of the desired sound source data, reproduction of the sound source data can be detected, so that it is unnecessary for the central processing unit to poll the address of the sound source data at all time and hence the load imposed on the central processing unit may be correspondingly decreased.
