ABSTRACT:
An electric music apparatus comprises an interface for connecting an external device, a memory that stores device drivers for external devices connected to the interface and a list recording relationships between external devices and corresponding device drivers, an obtaining device that obtains an external device information from an connected external device, a searching device that searches a device driver corresponding to the connected external device with reference to the list in accordance with the obtained external device information; a first determining device that determines the device driver corresponding to the connected external device when the searching device detects the corresponding device driver from the list, and a second determining device that executes a specific command to the connected external device by using a device driver stored in the memory when the searching device cannot detect the corresponding device driver and determines a driver without an error as a corresponding driver.
