Abstract
Plural part playback channels each play back music performance signals of respectively assigned performance parts selectively in an enhanced mode or in an unenhanced mode. When an enhanced mode is designated for a particular channel (at time A), the channel plays back the music performance signals in a prominent manner and channels plays back in a suppressed manner. The tone volume of the channels in the suppressed manner is set by manipulating the contrast dial CD. Where the enhanced mode is set for plural channels and (between time C and time D), manipulation of an enhanced mode clear switch SC (at time D) causes cancellation of the prominent manner of playback at the channels and as well as the suppressed manner of playback at the channels
