ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical box is disclosed in which a musical score can be readily stored and reproduced and the musical score can be easily changed to another. The musical box includes a pulse generator for generating a unitary pulse for a note whose duration is the shortest in the musical score and generating integer numbers of unitary pulses for other notes in the musical score. A tone pitch generating circuit generates tone pitch signals coded by a plurality of tone pitch switches so as to correspond to the tone pitches of the notes in the musical score. The coded tone pitch signals are stored in a memory, and a musical tone generating circuit reads data stored in the memory and generates musical tones.
