Abstract
An instrument for storing musical playing data includes tone color assignment switch for assigning each of the designated tone colors to each of the recording tracks and record control device for recording the musical playing data into the recording tracks simultaneously with the assigned tone color thereto (DUAL mode). Also the record control device can be a device for recording the musical playing data into the recording track, with the assigned tone color thereto, to which the tone range, for example the left side tone range or the right side tone range of a keyboard, including the tone pitch of the musical playing data is preliminarily assigned (SPLIT mode). As a plurality of recording tracks are used in recording with the both modes, it allows a player to edit the data easily.
