ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument comprises a tone generator which generates tone signals having tone pitches as designated by playing keys and tone properties as determined by control data signals applied thereto. A set of control data signals are provided in a digital format and delivered timewisely in serial form to manual setting units. The serial signals are converted into parallel signals and applied to the respective setting units for desired adjustment. The adjusted or non-adjusted parallel signals are converted back into serial signals and applied to the tone generator. Interpolator circuits are provided between the setting units and the tone generator to apply the latter control data signals whose values vary gradually even when the values of the signals from the setting units exhibit abrupt large changes from certain values to another.
