Abstract
The invention provides performance recording apparatus for separately recording plural event data, each corresponding to an electronic instrument, as plural channels of playing information onto playing information recorder. The apparatus includes channel converter for converting a channel discrimination code of newly received event data into another channel discrimination code, and merger for merging event data with the converted channel discrimination code with other event data which have already been recorded on the playing information recorder. Since any identical channel is not assigned to plural event data corresponding to different electronic instruments, playing information corresponding to plural channels is easily processed and stored on the playing information recorder.
