ABSTRACT:
A rhythm pattern generating apparatus is provided having a layered neural network to perform learning with feedback to generate an output pattern signal indicative of a musical sound pattern. The output pattern signal is generated by the layered neural network with feedback in response to a performance operation of a player. The layered neural network generates the output pattern signal indicative of the musical sound pattern based on both an input pattern signal and a weight signal. The output pattern signal is fed back by the feedback circuit to the layered neural network to perform the learning process. A drum pad can be used to provide an input to the rhythm pattern generating apparatus or, specifically, to gate an input pattern selector for selecting input pattern signals. The layered neural network with the feedback can perform the learning process using a back propagation method. In the present invention, when a new rhythm pattern is input by a musician, an output pattern signal is generated through an analogy with the rhythm style of the musician.
