Abstract
An automatic playing apparatus is provided which is capable of executing an automatic performance using a complex combination of audio data and sequence data. In the apparatus, a buffer is provided between the hard disk and audio input/output devices and MIDI input/output device, and serves to temporality record and/or reproduce data to or from the hard disk. Event data of the hard disk are selectively read out to the buffer under control of the CPU, and the event data are further transferred to the audio input/output devices and the MIDI input/output device, for executing automatic performance based on audio data and MIDI data.
