Abstract
An electronic apparatus for the automatic composition and reproduction of musical accompaniments and/or songs. The apparatus comprises a memory for storing a plurality of multi-track patterns containing musical data relating to songs and/or accompaniments of various styles; a selector is operable for controlling operational data tables on the basis of memorized program instructions, so as to select and read data of musical events on one or more data tracks, or parts thereof, in each of the selected pattern, as well as comprises operational program device for sequentially reading and composing the musical data contained in the data tracks of selected patterns, so as to make the number of musical measures and the temporal lengths of the selected data tracks uniform and to synchronize in real time the reading of data tracks having equal and/or different length, at points comprised in the real portion or in a virtual extension of each data track; the musical data of the tracks read in one pattern and the musical data of the tracks read in a successively selected pattern are therefore maintained in a musically consistent condition.
