Abstract
An automatic rhythm performance apparatus comprises at least a rhythm pattern memory for pre-storing plural kinds of rhythm patterns, an ending switch and a rhythm tone source. The rhythm patterns correspond to rhythm performances such as the Latin American Music, the Rumba Music and the Tango Music. Each of these rhythm patterns comprises one normal pattern and at least one ending pattern. Normally, the rhythm tone source generates rhythm tones in accordance with the normal pattern which corresponds to a normal part of a tune. When the ending switch is manipulated, the rhythm tone source generates other rhythm tones in accordance with the ending pattern, so that an ending rhythm performance is executed from a start timing determined by the manipulating timing of the ending switch. When each rhythm pattern consists of two ending patterns, the ending rhythm performance is executed in accordance with selected one of the ending patterns.
