Claims
- 1. An electronic musical instrument comprising:
- memory means for storing automatic performance data including a header portion and automatic performance pattern data representing at least one automatic performance pattern, wherein said header portion includes drum set data and duration; data
- reading out means for reading out said automatic performance pattern data from said memory means;
- first tone generating means for generating automatic performance tone signals based on said automatic performance pattern data read out by said reading out means, the generated automatic performance tone signals corresponding to an automatic performance pattern;
- stop designating means for designating the stop of an automatic performance of said automatic performance tone signals;
- terminating means for terminating said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means in response to said stop designated by said stop designating means; and
- second tone generating means for generating a percussion tone signal in accordance with said drum set data as an ending tone signal when said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data is terminated by said terminating means, wherein said percussion tone signal is generated for a predetermined time designated by said duration data.
- 2. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 1 wherein said terminating means immediately terminates said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means when said stop designating means designates said stop within a predetermined period from the head of each beat, and terminates said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means at the head of the next beat when said stop designating means designates said stop after the predetermined period from the head of each beat.
- 3. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 1 wherein said stop designating means has a stop switch which is used to forcibly terminate said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data.
- 4. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 1 wherein said percussion tone signal corresponds to one of a bass drum tone and a cymbal tone.
- 5. An electronic musical instrument comprising:
- memory means for storing automatic performance data including a header portion and automatic performance pattern data representing at least one automatic performance pattern, wherein said header portion includes tone color data and duration data;
- chord designating means for designating a chord;
- reading out means for reading out said automatic performance pattern data from said memory means;
- first tone generating means for generating automatic performance tone signals based on said automatic performance pattern data read out by said reading out means, the generated automatic performance tone signals corresponding to an automatic performance pattern;
- stop designating means for designating the stop of an automatic performance of said automatic performance tone signals;
- terminating means for terminating said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means in response to said stop designated by said stop designating means; and
- second tone generating means for generating a musical tone signal based on a chord designated by said chord designating means and in accordance with said tone color data when said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data is terminated by said terminating means, wherein said musical tone signal is generated for a predetermined time designated by said duration data in said header.
- 6. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said terminating means immediately terminates said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means when said stop designating means designates said stop within a predetermined period from the head of each beat, and terminates said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data by said reading out means at the head of the next beat when said stop designating means designates said stop after the predetermined period from the head of each beat.
- 7. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said stop designating means has a stop switch which is used to forcibly stop said reading out of said automatic performance pattern data.
- 8. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said musical tone signal includes a bass tone signal.
- 9. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said musical tone signal includes a chord backing tone signal.
- 10. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said chord designating means includes chord designating members to be operated by a performer.
- 11. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 10 further comprising chord information memory means which previously stores chord information, wherein said chord designating means designates a chord by reading out said stored chord information.
- 12. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said automatic performance pattern data includes a plurality of automatic performance styles, said instrument further comprises selecting means which selects one of said plurality of automatic performance styles, and said reading out means reads out automatic performance pattern data corresponding to said selected automatic performance style, wherein at least one of a generation period, a tone color, a tone volume, and a tone pitch of said musical tone signal generated by said second tone generating means is decided based on said selected automatic performance style.
- 13. An electronic musical instrument according to claim 5 wherein said second tone generating means is provided with a harmony table in which chord constituent notes to be generated are stored in each type of chord, and said second tone generating means generates chord constituent tone signals corresponding to said notes based on said harmony table.
