Abstract
In a pattern memory are stored plural performance patterns, each of which has one or more measures. Plural ones of the performance patterns are optionally selected and read out from the pattern memory, so as to make a music piece made up of time-series combinations of the selected performance patterns. The thus-made music piece is stored into a song memory. A suitable device such as a switch or a detector or a suitable process is employed to instruct to make a music piece in auftakt form. For this purpose, such a method may be employed, for instance, where it is detected that the melody part is in the form of an auftakt music piece, and in response to this detection, it is automatically instructed that the music piece made up of combinations of the performance patters should also be made in auftakt form. In accordance with this instruction, a part of a certain one-measure (last-measure, for example) performance pattern is read out from the pattern memory, and the read-out part of the one-measure performance pattern is added as an auftakt pattern to the beginning of the music piece to be made.
