Abstract
A plurality of different kinds of rhythm playing pattern data corresponding to each of the different rhythm sounds being used to play specified rhythms is stored in a rhythm pattern memory section (1). When a particular kind of rhythm is being played automatically, one particular kind of rhythm is selectively designated from a plurality of kinds of rhythms by the operation of the rhythm kind selecting unit (21f). Then, a particular kind of rhythm playing pattern data corresponding to the selected particular kind of rhythm is selected from a plurality of kinds of rhythm playing pattern data preset in the rhythm pattern memory section (1) corresponding to each of the rhythm sounds by the operation of the pattern selection section (2,21,21a-21e). According to this arrangement, since a plurality of rhythm playing patterns are preset to each of the rhythm sounds for each different kind of rhythm, an automatic rhythm play using a selected one of a plurality of rhythm playing patterns can be performed for each rhythm sound by the selecting operation of the pattern selection section (2,21,21a-21e), though the same kind of rhythm is automatically played with the same rhythm sound.
