Abstract
An electronic musical instrument in which a single manual keyboard is provided with two voicing blocks which has a certain keyboard space interval therebetween and at least one of which generates a multiple tone corresponding to keys being depressed. There is provided a circuit for providing a certain time interval from a time-divided signal produced by the key depression. This circuit distinguishes between tones from the two voicing blocks, to thereby separate them from each other. There is also a circuit for generating a monophonic or polyphonic tone signal from each of the separated time-divided signals.
