ABSTRACT:
In an electronic musical instrument, an input device inputs performance information. A tone generator operates based on tone setting parameters for generating music sounds according to the performance information. A display is capable of switching a plurality of scenes for displaying either of the performance information or tone setting parameters. An image data generation part creates one or a plurality of print image data representing contents of the plurality of the scenes upon detecting a print instruction operation. An interface is provided in the electronic musical instrument to output the print image data directly to an external printer for printing out the contents of the scenes.
