ABSTRACT:
A karaoke system incorporating a backing chorus mixing device having a memory for storing backing chorus patterns converted to data form by breaking down and organizing the backing chorus for a particular piece of music into appropriate segments. Thus, when reproducing a piece of music created in accordance with the MIDI standard, all the chorus data corresponding to said piece of music can be read from said memory and synchronized with the music reproduction data, after which appropriate chorus patterns can be selected one by one and mixed into the music. The invention thus enables the requisite memory capacity to be kept to a minimum while at the same time enabling not only the reproduction of original sounds from music data created in accordance with the MIDI standard but also the reproduction of a mutual backing chorus sound created from data based not on the MIDI standard but obtained directly from natural human voices.
