ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument in which a plurality of musical waveforms are obtained by a time-sharing style of multi-channels according to key data input from a keyboard. A wave-shape memory memorizes a plurality of wave-shape data representative of basic one cycle waveforms of different musical wave shapes. A musical instrument selecting circuit designates the a kind of wave-shape for each of the channels which is to be read out from the wave-shape memory, and a sound effect selecting circuit designates the kind of effect of each of the channels. A pitch forming circuit generates pitch data for reading of the wave-shape memory in each of the channels according to the key data and output data from the sound effect selecting circuit.
