ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument stores a plurality of waveform samples. A predetermined number of waveform samples are selected from the plurality of waveform samples. Pitch information for designating a pitch within a predetermined tone range is generated. In response to instructions for automatic assignment of waveform samples, partial tone ranges equal in number to the predetermined number are set within the predetermined tone range, and the predetermined number of the waveform samples selected are assigned to the partial tone ranges, respectively. In response to the pitch information, a partial tone range to which the pitch information belongs is detected from the partial tone ranges. A waveform sample assigned to the detected partial tone range is read. A musical tone is generated based on the read waveform sample.
