Abstract

Key operation speed of a performance key in the keyboard is detected at speed detector to produce a speed detection signal which is supplied to overspeed detector. When the speed detection signal represents that the key operation speed is higher than a reference value preset in the overspeed detector, an address signal is supplied to a rhythm pattern memory to change a designation address thereof, thereby reading out different rhythm pattern data from the memory.
