ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument utilizes a tone generator installed with a plurality of timbres for generating a musical tone having a timbre selected from the installed timbres. A MIDI interface is provided for receiving timbre designation information which designates a primary choice and a secondary choice of desired timbres. A bank selector operates when the primary choice is present in the installed timbres for selecting the same so that the musical tone is generated in a desired timbre of the primary choice, and otherwise operates when the primary choice is absent in the installed timbres for selecting the secondary choice in place of the primary choice from the installed timbres so that the musical tone is generated in another desired timbre of the secondary choice.
