Abstract
In an electronic musical instrument, there is no creation of new automatic accompaniment data and the performer can carry out automatic accompaniment using favored optional automatic accompaniment data. The electronic musical instrument provides storage apparatus for storing automatic performance data, a designator for designating a fixed region of the automatic performance data and a automatic accompaniment apparatus which performs automatic accompaniment based on a pattern of the fixed region designated by the designator. Therefore, when the performer designates an optional region of the automatic performance data storage apparatus, automatic accompaniment of the patterns in the optional region designated by the automatic accompaniment apparatus using the designator is carried out.
