ABSTRACT:
A phrase data input/output apparatus for an electronic musical instrument having an external device coupled thereto. The apparatus, upon receipt of key data from a keyboard, selects either a tone generator for generating a single musical tone in agreement with the key data or a phrase playing circuit for generating a specified phrase of multiple musical tones in agreement with the key data. The apparatus includes an instructing circuit for instructing either normal playing or phrase playing of the instrument. An assigning circuit assigns the key data from the keyboard to either the tone generator or to the phrase playing circuit of the instrument, upon receipt of an instruction from said instructing circuit. An output circuit, responsive to said assigning circuit sends to the external device either key data, outputted by the tone generator, or phrase playing control data obtained through a predetermined conversion of said key data from said keyboard and outputted by the phrase playing circuit.
