Abstract
A data selection apparatus for an electronic musical instrument which stores a plurality of kinds of selectable data for generating tones. A selection code is assigned to each data. The code is selected using a selector for performing an incremental operation, and the corresponding selected code is stored in a memory in correspondence with a use frequency. Every time the code is selected, frequency data is updated. One of the stored codes is read out in the order of higher use frequencies, so that corresponding tone generation data can be selected without performing the incremental operation.
