Abstract
An electronic musical instrument of a partials synthesis type and the partials are processed in a time division multiplex fashion. One cycle of the time division multiplex sequence consists of a plurality of processing time slots, which are divided into two to four groups. Each group of time slots are used for processing partials which form a discrete musical tone. Thus two to four types of musical tones can be formed at the same time, which realizes an ensemble performance.
