ABSTRACT:
The invention, which assumes the use of digital music data, such as MIDI data, inserts marker codes in advance into music data at appropriate break points such that the music can then be replayed in accordance with said marker codes without sounding unnatural to the listener. If, while an output means is reading music data out of a memory means and outputting it to a sound source, the user decides he wants to replay a part of the music, he inputs a position specification by way of an operation means. A replay means then issues a replay instruction to said output means which returns to a point close to a stored marker code and outputs the music data from that point onwards. The prior insertion of marker codes into the music data at appropriate break points enables the music to be replayed from any point without arousing a feeling of unnaturalness in the listener. Moreover, by restarting the music during a replay from the point specified by the marker code immediately prior to the marker code stored in the operation means, it is possible to make allowance for a user's slowness in inputting the replay position specification into the replay means.
