ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument includes an operator such as a bar-like touch operator having a play position to be designated, which play position is arranged in a predetermined direction thereof, a tone pitch designation circuit for generating tone pitch information corresponding to the play position, a tone generation designation operator such as keys in a keyboard for generating tone generation designation information in accordance with a tone generation designation operation, and a tone generator for generating a tone signal corresponding to the tone pitch information provided by the tone pitch designation operator in response to the tone generation designation information provided by the tone generation designation operator. A tone pitch is designated in response to a play position detected by the operator and a tone signal having the designated tone pitch is generated in accordance with operation of the tone generation designation operator whereby a variety of performance techniques which could not been simulated in conventional electronic musical instruments can be realized.
