ABSTRACT:
Desired tones are selected by a key depression operation or the like operation of an electronic musical instrument and these selected tones are assigned to one of pad type performance operators. When this performance operator has been operated, the tones which have been assigned thereto are sounded simultaneously or sequentially. In assigning desired tones to the performance operator, setting operators for setting tone volume, effects etc. may be set at desired set state and set information representing this set state may be stored. In this case, tone signals corresponding to tones which have been assigned to the performance operator are generated and the stored set information is read out and a control such as a tone control and effect imparting control is performed in accordance with the set information. In assigning a desired tone to the performance operator, assigning of a tone which has been selected by a key depression operation or the like to the performance operator may be realized when the performance operator has been turned from an on state to an off state. By this arrangement, selective change of a tone to be assigned can be made freely even after turning on of the performance operator if it is before the performance operator is turned off.
