The data supply supplies an ADPCM data representative of a phrase back chorus and being compressed by a variable compression condition, and supplies a song data containing accompaniment information prescriptive of an instrumental accompaniment, additional information prescriptive of a common back chorus and decoding information indicative of the variable compression condition of the ADPCM data, and further supplies key information which determines a pitch shift of the karaoke song. The tone generator processes the accompaniment information and the additional information to generate a first audio signal effective to sound synthesized tones of the instrumental accompaniment and the common back chorus. The ADPCM decoder operates in synchronization with the tone generator to decode the ADPCM data according to the decoding information for reproducing a second audio signal effective to sound the phrase back chorus concurrently with the instrumental accompaniment. The pitch shifter processes the second audio signal according to the key information to carry out the pitch shift of the phrase back chorus.
