Abstract
A device(timer) is provided for measurement of lapse time from a predetermined portion of a first tone assigned to a tone production channel. When a new(second) tone generation request is given to the tone production channel the tone being generated is force-dumped. The time required for force-dump, namely the waiting time until the new musical tone is generated is decided based on the count value of the timer. Upon the lapse of this waiting time the new musical tone is generated at the above-mentioned channel. Thereby the waiting time is best controlled.
