ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument has an accompaniment keyboard arranged to detect, in programming mode, accompaniment key informations including the actuated timings of the depressed keys relative to a tempo from a tempo generator as well as the relative tone pitches of the depressed keys, and to store these informations in a writable memory as a custom-made accompaniment timing and pitch pattern data. In a performance mode, the keys are used to designate chord names each by its tonality and type for determining the chords to be automatically performed in accordance with the custom-made accompaniment timing and pitch pattern. By reading-out these stored information data, the user is able to perform automatic accompaniment playing of his own programmed pattern with real time.
