Abstract

In an electronic keyboard musical instrument with a portamento or glissando play function, a touch response detector is arranged to detect a key touch response such as a depression speed or pressure of a key depressed on a keyboard. A musical tone generating device with a portamento or glissando play function is arranged to change a portamento or glissando time in response to the touch response of the depressed key.
