Abstract

In response to depressing operation of a key in a melody key range 102 of a keyboard, CPU 21 decides a pitch of musical-tone data to be produced. Concerning the depressing operation on the melody key range 102, CPU 21 specifies a jins or a predetermined temperament from maqam data or temperament-type data based on depressed keys in an accompaniment key range 101 of the keyboard. Further, CPU 21 specifies a composing tone corresponding to the depressed key in the melody range, and gives a sound source 26 an instruction of generating musical-tone data having a pitch of the composing tone.
