Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To play a rhythm which is rich in variation as the ending of fill-in play by storing a fill-in rhythm pattern obtaining by adding the 1st beat of a next measure to one or several measures, and detecting the play end of this pattern and then returning to the play of the 2nd and succeeding beats of a normal rhythm pattern. CONSTITUTION:A keyboard circuit 12, a switch group 14, a central processor CPU 16, a program memory 18, a register group 20, a pattern memory 22, a tempo clock generator 24, a tone generator TG 26, etc., are connected to a bus 10. Then, a pattern which has a complicate sound generation pattern in the 1st beat of a measure following one or plural measures is stored in a pattern storage means as a fill-in rhythm pattern and when the play of the fill-in rhythm pattern is finished, the rhythm play is carried on after going back to the 2nd beat of the normal rhythm pattern.
