ABSTRACT:
Music playing apparatus for playing selected musical notes in accordance with a selected rhythm pattern. A rhythm pattern is selected having a multiplicity of intervals. The rhythm pattern is repetitively reproducible and musical notes played at any interval within the rhythm pattern may be selectively played as either an unaccented note or as an accented note. Selected musical notes are played at each interval within the rhythm pattern and the pitch of a selected note is determined. The pitch of a selected note is within a predetermined range of octaves in the chromatic scale and this range of octaves may be selectively extended. A tone generator generates audible musical tones in accordance with the established rhythm pattern, the selected musical notes, and the octave band within which the selected musical notes are found.
