Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic musical instrument with musical information input keys for producing musical information. A plurality of keys are provided for generating musical information of musical notes to introduce musical tones and pitches of the musical notes into the electronic musical instrument. A memory is included within the electronic musical instrument for sequentially memorizing the musical information. A musical generator is provided for sequentially reading out the stored musical information and providing an audio music in response to the stored musical information. The electronic musical instrument may function as an attendant feature of a conventional electronic calculator and/or an electronic timepiece. In a combined electronic musical instrument and calculator, the audio music can be utilized for announcing alarm conditions such as error, premature actuations of keys, overflow, voltage drop in power supply, etc. The audio music can further be used to alarm when a predetermined time has just run in the combined electronic musical instrument and a timepiece.
