Abstract

Plural normal pattern data, plural introduction pattern data, plural fill-in pattern data and plural ending pattern data for each of various accompaniment styles such as march, waltz and rock are stored in a memory. Relation of correspondence among these pattern data is predetermined and, at transfer from one pattern to another such as transfer from a certain introduction pattern to a normal pattern, transfer from a certain normal pattern to a fill-in pattern, transfer back from the fill-in pattern to the normal pattern or transfer from a certain normal pattern to an ending pattern, predetermined pattern data which corresponds to a pattern which has been so far performed is automatically determined and transfer to the determined pattern is automatically made. Transfer of the pattern which is automatically determined can also be changed as desired by selection by the player.
