ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument is provided with an input implement for inputting performance information which designates a tone pitch of a musical sound to be produced during the course of performance. A tone generator of a monaural type generates a monaural tone signal having the designated tone pitch. A distributing circuit is connected to the tone generator for distributing the monaural tone signal selectively to a plurality of range channels assigned to different tone pitch ranges. A plurality of acoustic image formers are provided in the respective range channels for processing the distributed monaural tone signal to impart thereto stereophonic spread and location in different manners associated to the different tone pitch ranges. A stereo sound system is connected to the range channels for producing the musical sound having the imparted stereophonic spread and location.
