ABSTRACT:
An auto-play apparatus for an electronic musical instrument generates auto-play tones or auto-accompaniment tones such as melody, chord, bass, and drum tones on the basis of preprogrammed auto-play data. The apparatus includes a detector for detecting note data in the auto-play data. Every time a tone corresponding to note data in the auto-play data is generated, a pre-programmed display sequence of animation patterns advances. Animation display pattern data representing motions of a person or animal are sequentially sent to a display on the basis of the animation display sequence. Every time a tone corresponding to note data in the auto-play data is generated, the display patterns change motion by motion, thus obtaining an animation display.
