ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument is provided with plural control switches; a musical tone generating circuit having plural musical tone generating channels generating musical tones in accordance with the operation of the plural control switches; a circuit for indicating the number of tones indicating the number of tones generated by the operation of the manipulators; and an assignment control circuit assigning the operated manipulator to the musical tone generating channels equal in number to the number of tones designated by the circuit for indicating the number of tones and controlling the generation of the musical tones relative to the operated manipulators. Thus, the number of tones generated from the musical tone generating circuit in response to the operation of the manipulators can arbitrarily be set for each manipulator or for each manipulator group, with enjoyment of various performances of the musical instrument.
