Abstract

A music synthesizing system with features such as electronic apparatus and devices thereof has means for storing, reading, retrieving, processing and controlling music data indicative of a predetermined sequence of music data including any made up of settings and or parameters, though especially including a predetermined sequence of musical tones for sound reproduction. Each musical tone set in a predetermined sequence or concurrent arrangement is playable in turn and in response to an output actuation (160) of an actuator means of instrument section 1 at a timing determined by user according to a First method and a First process of actuation (160). Musical tones are actuated likewise when two or more First actuator means operable by one or more performers plays a concurrent number of predetermined sequences, simultaneously.
