Abstract
A sequence generator system is disclosed for use in an electronic musical instrument wherein scanning circuits scan the instrument and produce a serial data stream corresponding to notes played on the instrument. The sequence generator system comprises sequence generating circuits responsive to the serial data stream for generating a further, predetermined data sequence and data steering circuits for receiving the serial data stream and for normally steering said serial data stream to a data output. Actuation of the system causes the data steering circuits to substitute the predetermined data sequence produced by the sequence generating circuits for the serial data stream at the data output.
