A sequencer according to the present invention comprises: an interface circuit for exchanging externally supplied play data; a memory for storing received play data; and a panel switch for generating a signal that indicates a recording start. Recording is performed when, in response to a recording start signal from the panel switch, the sequencer, using predetermined data, automatically generates storage location data, and stores play data at the storage location designated by the storage location data. A sequencer according to the present invention further comprises: a memory for storing play data corresponding to multiple musical pieces; an interface circuit for outputting play data that is read from the memory; and a panel switch for indicating continuous reproduction. Upon the depression of the panel switch, the sequencer sequentially reads a predetermined quantity of play data from the head of each musical piece that is stored in the memory and reproduces musical tones using that play data. Then, when the panel switch is again depressed, the sequencer reads the remainder of the play data for the musical piece currently being read-out and reproduces that musical piece.
