Abstract
In a music apparatus, a generator device has a plurality of channels for concurrently generating various tones. At least, one channel is assigned to generate chorus tones belonging to a multiple of melody parts arranged in parallel to each other. A provider device provides music messages assigned to the plurality of the channels to generate the various tones. The music messages includes a particular music message being assigned to the one channel and being composed of a first music message which contains a note and identifies a melody part to which the note belongs, and a second music message which contains a parameter and identifies a melody part to which the parameter belongs. A controller device controls the one channel of the generator device according to the note and the parameter both belonging to the same melody part so as to generate the chorus tone such that the one channel can generate a chorus tone belonging to a melody part independently from another chorus tone belonging to another melody part.
