Automatic performing apparatus of electronic musical instrument

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic performing apparatus which can generate musical tones in exemplary generation modes.
Another object of the invention is to provide an automatic performing apparatus which can automatically control a generation mode of musical tones by automatic performance data.
An automatic performing apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a memory means for storing musical note data and control data for controlling generation modes of musical tones which are recorded on a recording medium and read out thereof.
In response to the musical note data read out of the memory means, a melody tone forming means generates a musical tone signal and a generation mode of the musical tone signal is controlled by the control data.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the musical note data and the control data for automatic performance are stored in a common memory, and those are successively read out with the progression of a melody.
Particularly, each control data is stored at such a memory location that the control data is read out at the timing that the generating mode of the music tone is to be changed.
Therefore, the control data which has been last read out determines the generating mode of the musical tone signal until new control data is read out.
