Abstract
A desired rhythm instrument tone color can be assigned to a pad type performance operator. A desired type of repeated-tone mode, e.g., roll, flam or echo, can be selected by a switch operation or other suitable means. Upon operation of the performance operator, repeated tones having a rhythm instrument tone color assigned to the performance operator are generated with a stroke pattern having a characteristic peculiar to the tone color.
