ABSTRACT:
In a case where a fill-in pattern is temporarily inserted during an automatic performance, not only a main pattern to which the performance pattern should be shifted but also a main pattern which has been performed immediately before are taken into account and a fill-in pattern is automatically determined in accordance with a combination of the two main patterns. In a case where an introduction pattern is inserted at the beginning of the automatic performance, an introduction pattern is automatically determined depending upon which main pattern is performed after the introduction performance. In a case where an ending performance is inserted at the end of the automatic performance, an ending pattern is automatically determined depending upon which main pattern has been performed immediately before the ending. In a case where, during a fill-in performance, an operation for designating another fill-in performance has been made, the fill-in performance which is being performed is continued and, as to the main pattern to which the pattern should be shifted, one which is designated later is given priority. Transient performance patterns such as fill-in, introduction and ending are automatically determined in these manner and an automatic performance which is rich in variety can be realized.
