ABSTRACT:
A key assigner, for an electronic musical instrument that has a plurality of oscillators and that employs for the production of a specific timbre only the number of oscillators that is actually required. The key assigner comprises a control for, upon reception of a tone-ON command, assigning timbre generation to the oscillators by control unit, each of which includes the maximum number of oscillators required for timbre generation. Once timbre generation assignments to all the control units have been effected, and a tone-ON command for a timbre that requires fewer oscillators than compose each of the control units is received, the key assignor assigns the timbre generation to an oscillator, of one of the control units, to which timbre generation assignment has not previously been made.
