ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for sequencing an electronic organ through a plurality of different combinations of tone settings utilizes an addressable memory to store each setting combination as a separate addressable word in which each bit of the word indicates the setting of one tone characteristic. The words are read out in predetermined sequence at times controlled by the musician, the bits of each word controlling the immediate setting of all the tone control switches. Any word in memory can be read out at any time on command of the musician independently of the sequencing to establish a selected preset status of the tone control switches. The automatic setting of any tone control switch can be manually overridden at any time and the corresponding bit in associated control word in memory changed accordingly.
