Abstract
An electronic musical instrument for conducting an arpeggio performance of a stringed instrument capable of readily producing a pattern for the arpeggio performance as one likes, and also of conducting the arpeggio performance which is perceived as being less musically incompatible even if the player makes a mistake during a performance of allocating of pitch at the time of the arpeggio performance. A pattern for the arpeggio performance is produced adopting such a rule that a time axis is renewed when all the strings become silent, or such a rule that it is regarded as having the same timing while a pedal is kept depressed. When the arpeggio performance is conducted, even if a mismatch occurs between the string of the pattern and the string played for a pitch allocation, those strings are compulsively allocated together.
