ABSTRACT:
An automatic accompaniment apparatus that enables an external electronic musical instrument connected thereto to exhibit its accompaniment information generating capability to the maximum and makes it possible to set tone color data and accompaniment data adapted to the external electronic musical instrument through the automatic accompaniment apparatus. The external electronic musical instrument stores in advance a plurality of tone color data and/or a plurality of accompaniment data and generates accompaniment information based on the selected tone color data and/or accompaniment data. List information on the stored tone color data and/or the accompaniment data is acquired via a control interface that connects to the external electronic musical instrument and carries out transmission and reception of information to and from the external electronic musical instrument, and the acquired list information is presented to a user. Control information for causing the external electronic musical instrument to set tone color data and/or accompaniment data selected by the user from the presented list information is transmitted to the external electronic musical instrument via the control interface.
