ABSTRACT:
An automatic accompaniment apparatus for an electronic musical instrument is provided with an instrumentation selecting switch for selecting a desired instrumentation, a data generator for generating instrumentation data selected by the selecting switch when the selecting switch is depressed, and an accompaniment tone generator for generating an accompaniment tone signal in accordance with one of the number of tones corresponding to the number of musical instruments and a tone color corresponding to a tone color name of each musical instrument set in response to the instrumentation data derived from the data generator. Thus, when the desired instrumentation is selected by the selecting switch, the automatic accompaniment apparatus generates automatically the accompaniment tone signal with the number of tones and/or tone colors corresponding to the contents of the selected instrumentation. Further, the automatic accompaniment apparatus can also generate an accompaniment tone signal, for every instrumentation, with an accompaniment pattern suitable for the instrumentation.
