ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument, in which a phrase for about one bar is assigned to each of keys across two octaves, a note data string of each phrase is read out from a memory in accordance with a one-finger key operation, and corresponding tones are generated. Key numbers, key depression velocities, and key depression timings of a series of key operations in a phrase play mode are recorded in a recording medium. In a playback mode, a note data string of a phrase corresponding to a playback key number is read out from the memory. Tone generation strength data in the note data are multiplied with the playback key depression velocity, thus obtaining a modified note data string. Playback tones of a phrase play close to an actual play can be generated by modifying key depression strengths of phrase tones pre-programmed in the memory.
