Abstract
An electronic keyboard instrument includes note data memory (35) for storing note data strings of a plurality of different short phrases, and a tone generator (37) for generating tones on the basis of a note data string read out from the note data memory (35). In response to a key depression operation, a note data string of a short phrase assigned to the ON key is selected and read out. Tone strength data of the readout note data string are multiplied with a key operation strength value, and product data are output to the tone generator (37). A player performs an adlib play upon a combination of the phrases. The tone volume can be controlled in units of phrases according to key touch data.
