ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument is disclosed wherein the musical tone parameter such as the tone volume, tone color, acoustic reverberation, pan-pot and the like can be varied over time. The invention provides an electronic musical instrument including an operational device, a memory, a readout section, a control section and a tone generator. The operational device can be implemented in a stick type operator for example. The operational device generates operational data which vary over time in response to operations applied thereto. The operational data generated by operational device are consecutively stored in the memory. The readout section can be implemented in a CPU for example and consecutively reads out the operational data from the memory. The control section can be implemented in a CPU for example and generates a musical tone parameter which varies over time on the basis of data consecutively read out from the memory. The tone generator generates musical tones on the basis of a musical tone parameter. In this electronic musical instrument, the musical tone parameter of generated musical tones can be continuously varied over time in response to the operational data which are consecutively read out from the memory.
