Abstract
A CPU of a game machine compares the predicted number of samples in a streaming reproduction and the actual number of samples during execution of the reproduction of sequence data of the BGM in a step Sin response to a beat signal detected in a step S. When the compared error is positive, it is considered that the reproduction of sequence data of the BGM lags behind to increase a tempo of the sequence data reproduction in a step S. When the error is negative, it is considered that the MIDI reproduction leads to decrease the tempo of the sequence data reproduction in a step S
