An electronic musical instrument having keys that include a first set of keys for generating program commands in real time such as chord and scale selections in response to being depressed, and a second set of keys for generating input device signals in response to being played. The electronic musical instrument also has a memory adapted to store a plurality of translation tables. The translation tables being adapted to translate the input device signals received from the second set of keys into corresponding control signals. A translator to the input device signals, the translation tables, and the program commands generating control signals which are used by an electronic signal generator. The electronic musical interface also includes an interface for providing access between the translator and at least one external device.
