ABSTRACT:
An electronic rhythm instrument having two or more rhythm switches which correspond to rhythmical sounds, and which generates rhythmical sounds corresponding to the rhythm switch operated. In the electronic rhythm instrument, one of the rhythmical sounds can be assigned commonly to a plurality of the rhythm switches, and further, a tone pitch and/or a tone volume can be assigned to each rhythm switch to which one of the rhythmical sounds is assigned commonly when a primary mode is selected. After the assignment, when a secondary mode is selected and one of the rhythm switches is operated, the preassigned rhythmical sound having the tone pitch and/or the tone volume assigned to the operated rhythm switch can be generated. The present invention can assign a tone-pitch scale and/or a tone-volume scale to a number of rhythm switches. When the tone-pitch scale is assigned to the rhythm switches, a melody can be produced according to the tone-pitch scale. When the tone-volume scale is assigned to the rhythm switches, a more expressive percussion performance is achieved than in a conventional instrument.
