Abstract
When a switching operation from a normal pattern to a special pattern is instructed while an automatic accompaniment operation is being executed using normal pattern data, the pattern to be read out is switched from the normal pattern to the special pattern in accordance with the instruction. In this case, when it is instructed to switch the pattern within the instructed bar, only a rhythm part of a plurality of parts is switched from the normal pattern to the special pattern. When it is instructed to switch the pattern at the beginning of the next bar, other parts in addition to the rhythm part are switched from the normal patterns to the special patterns.
