Abstract
An automatic performance apparatus comprises a storage device that stores performance data and accompaniment data having a plurality of sections, a detector that detects a specific note in the performance data, a reproduction device that simultaneously reproduces the performance data and the accompaniment pattern data, and a controller that controls the reproduction device to change the section at a point of the detected specific note. A musical performance that is rich in variations can be performed easily with simple automatic performance data.
