When the key 6g is turned on, only the flag E is set and the other flags A, B, C and D are reset (SA10), and when none of the keys is operated, the process directly proceeds to SA11.

In this SA11, the feed scroll key 6
It is determined whether or not b is operated, and when the feed scroll key 6b is operated, the above-mentioned SA6 to SA1
It is determined which of A to E the flag set by 0 is (SA12). Then, if the set flag is A, the address number m is incremented (SA13), and if it is B, the CH of the m address,
That is, the channel No. stored in the channel (CH) storage area indicated by the address number m. Is incremented (SA14). The flag that is set is C
If it is, the tone color NO. Is incremented (SA15), if it is D, the start time of the m address is incremented (SA16), and if it is E, the end time of the m address is incremented (SA17).

On the other hand, when the feed scroll key 6b is not operated, the routine proceeds from SA11 to SA18, it is judged whether or not the return scroll key 6a is operated, and when the return scroll key 6a is operated, Also, it is determined which of the flags A to E is set in SA6 to SA10 (SA19). When the set flag is A, the address number m
Is decremented (SA20), and if it is B, the CH of the m address, that is, the channel No. stored in the channel (CH) storage area indicated by the address number m. Is decremented (SA21). When the set flag is C, the tone color NO. Is decremented (SA22), the start time of the m address is decremented when it is D (SA23), and the end time of the m address is decremented when it is E (SA24).

As described above, the processing of SA13 to SA17 according to the determination result of SA11 and SA12, or SA
SA20 to SA24 according to the discrimination result of 18 and SA19
After executing the processing of step S4, it is again determined whether the mode set by the mode key 6c is the registration mode or the reception mode (SA25). If the registration mode is set, the above-mentioned SA4 is executed. To the SA25 are repeated.

Therefore, with the registration mode set, the program (NO.) Key 6i, channel key 6d, tone color key 6e, time zone (start) key 6f,
By operating one of the time zone (end) keys 6g and operating one of the feed scroll key 6b and the return scroll key 6a, as shown in FIG. CH) NO. , Tone NO. , Broadcasting time zone is registration memory 31
Memorized in.

Then, when the mode key 6c is operated to switch from the registration mode to the reception mode, or when the power is turned on.
If the reception mode is set in advance when the N / OFF switch 6h is turned on, the process proceeds to SA26 in FIG. 7 to execute the reception process. In this reception process, the CPU 30 outputs a control signal (for example, a “H” signal) instructing the power supply device 34 to turn on, and the power supply device 34 receives the control signal instructing to turn on the tuner 23 and the VIF 4 , The microprocessor 25, and the error detector 26 are supplied with power, thereby forming a state in which automatic performance data can be received.

Subsequently, in SA27, the contents stored in the registration memory 31 shown in FIG. 6 are searched for each address to determine whether the data stored in the broadcast time zone includes time zone data including the current time. It is determined whether or not (SA27). If there is no time zone data including the current time at any of the addresses, a message is output and a message "No station to tune in" is displayed on the display unit 4.
(SA28).

If any of the addresses has time zone data including the current time, the channel number corresponding to the time data. The data is read (SA29).
For example, if the current time is 6:00 AM,
Time zone data AM6: 00-00 of address 1 shown in FIG.
Since the current time is included in AM9: 00, the channel N corresponding to AM6: 00 to AM9: 00
O. Channel No. which is data. Read "1".
Subsequently, this read channel number. The broadcasting station corresponding to the data is selected (SA30), and the channel number of the tuner 23 is set to the tuner 23 by the processing of SA30. The reception frequency of the broadcasting station of No. 1 is set, and the channel No. Reception of automatic performance data from the first broadcasting station is started.

Next, error detection is performed based on the error data (error number information) from the error detector 26 (SA
31) Then, it is determined whether or not the reception state of the continuously received automatic performance data from the broadcasting station is good, based on the error number information input from the error detection 26 (SA3).
2). When it is determined that the reception state is poor, the channel No. corresponding to the time zone data closest to the current time is displayed. The data is read (SA33).

For example, as described above, the current time is AM
6:00, and therefore the channel No. stored in the address 1 is stored. When the reception of the broadcasting station of No. 1 is started, the channel No. Assuming that the reception state of channel 1 is bad, the channel other than this channel 1 is
The time zone data closest to M6: 00 is AM9: 00 to PM3: 00 stored in the address 2. Also,
The channel No. corresponding to this time zone data AM9: 00 to PM3: 00. Since the data is "3",
Channel No. 3 is read out. After performing the processing of SA33, the above-described determination processing from SA30 is repeated.

If it is determined that the reception state is good based on the number of errors, the read channel number.
Tone No. corresponding to the data Read data (SA3
4), the read tone color NO. With the tone color corresponding to the data, start playing the automatic performance song being tuned, and based on the received automatic performance data, play the corresponding score.
The liquid crystal is displayed on the CD 27 (SA35). For example, if the current time is 6:00 AM and the channel No. If the reception state of No. 1 is good, the timbre NO. Fig. 5 with 3 piano sounds
The automatic performance of the 1-A music (classical music) shown in (1) is executed based on the automatic performance data received at this time, and the score is displayed on the display unit 4 in the same manner as SB5 described later. In this automatic performance, the CPU 11 built in the IC coin memory 9 causes the CPU 30 in the broadcast receiving device 21 to
Automatic performance data (MIDI data) transferred from the computer and the read tone color No. The data is sent to the tone generating circuit 12, and the sent tone color No. This is performed by instructing the generation of a tone signal having a pitch, a tone length, and a volume according to the automatic performance data transferred in the tone color corresponding to the data. The musical tone signal generated by the musical tone generating circuit 12 is
The music is amplified by the amplifier 14 and the speaker 16 in the earphone 15 is driven by the amplified musical tone signal, so that the music according to the automatic performance data is reproduced from the earphone 15 in tone color NO. The piano sound corresponding to is emitted.

It should be noted that, for example, the current time is 6:00 AM, the result of the determination in SA32 described above is reception failure, and the channel N is processed in SA33 as described above.
O. When the data “3” is read, AM6: 0
Channel No. at time 0. The program of No. 3 is a 3-A song (jazz song), and this channel No. Three
Tone No. corresponding to Is "1 (guitar sound)", the 3-A song (jazz song) is automatically played with the guitar tone color. Therefore, in this case, the music against the listener's will will be automatically played, but in order to properly execute the automatic performance, the quality of the reception condition has a great influence. When the reception state is poor, priority is given to execution, and a station with a good reception state is automatically selected even if the listener is unwilling.

At SA36 following SA35, the received automatic performance data and the read channel number.
Data, tone color NO. The automatic performance required time data represented by the data and the time zone data is stored in the automatic performance data memory 13 in the IC coin memory 9. Therefore, the automatic performance data sequentially received in the automatic performance data memory 13 is the channel number. Data, tone N
O. It is stored together with the data and the required automatic performance time data.

Then, in the next SA37, it is judged whether or not the time represented by the time zone data being selected has elapsed, and the execution of the above-mentioned automatic performance and the storage of the automatic performance data are continued until this time has elapsed. Is continued, and when the time has elapsed, the determination process from SA27 is executed. Therefore,
Assuming that the contents shown in FIG. 6 are stored in advance in the registration memory 31 and that the reception status of each channel is all good, the automatic performance data memory 13 stores the contents shown in FIG. The data is stored.

For example, at address 1, automatic performance data of 1-A music (classical music) is stored, and tone color No. 3 (piano sound) is stored as, and 3 hours, which is the time of AM6: 00 to PM9: 00, is stored as the automatic performance time. At address 2, automatic performance data of 3-B song (jazz song) is stored, and tone color N
O. 1 (guitar sound) is stored as, and 6 hours, which is the time from AM9: 00 to PM3: 00, is stored as the automatic performance time. Further, the automatic performance data of the 1-B music (classical music) is stored in the address 3, and the timbre NO. 2 (saxophone sound) is stored as, and 3 hours, which is the time from PM 3:00 to PM 6:00, is stored as the automatic performance time.
