Abstract
A music system is comprised of a subsystem and a main system. The subsystem includes a first musical tone-synthesizing device that synthesizes musical tones, based on performance data externally supplied thereto, and a mixing device that mixes together the musical tones synthesized by the first musical tone-synthesizing device and external musical tones externally generated and supplied thereto. The main system includes performance data-processing device that controls performance data indicative of musical tones to be performed and transmits the performance data to the subsystem at predetermined timing, and a second musical tone-synthesizing device that synthesizes musical tones, based on the performance data, when the first musical tone-synthesizing device is in a predetermined state. The main system transmits the musical tones synthesized by the second musical tone-synthesizing device to the subsystem, as the external musical tones.
