ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument cooperates with a MIDI instrument to generate musical tones in a desired manner which is arbitrarily set by a human operator. The electronic musical instrument has a plurality of MIDI channels for receiving performance data from the MIDI instrument as well as a memory, a keyboard, a visual display section and panel switches. The human operator manually operates the panel switches to designate functions, which can be adjusted or changed by the MIDI instrument during progression of musical performance played by the keyboard of the electronic musical instrument. For this reason, at least one MIDI channel is used to control the panel control event. The memory stores information representing relationship between note numbers, panel control events and the functions. The human operator is capable of editing content of the information, stored by the memory, in cooperation with the visual display section such that a panel control event, together with two functions, are assigned to a desired note number and a manner of execution of the two functions is arbitrarily set. Thus, the setting of the electronic musical instrument can be easily adjusted or changed by the MIDI instrument during progression of the musical performance.
