Abstract
An electronic musical instrument is provided with a keyboard circuit, a voltage-controlled tone signal generating circuit arrangement and a sequencer for sequentially coupling memorized pitch voltage signals to the voltage-controlled tone signal generating circuit arrangement, thereby realizing automatic arpeggio performance. The sequencer is so connected as to receive a pitch determining voltage signal from the keyboard circuit at a given timing and is so arranged that the magnitudes of pitch voltage signals coupled to the tone signal generating circuit arrangement are shifted in accordance with the pitch determining voltage signal from the keyboard circuit, thus achieving transposition of arpeggio.
