Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing sound from data which are electrically stored in an electronic memory is disclosed. This sound reproducing apparatus includes a member for providing timing control to associated electronic circuitry. There is also a member for retrieving the individual elements of the data from the memory and electronic components for converting the retrieved elements into respective audio signals. Furthermore, there are electrical circuit elements for audibly broadcasting the respective audio signals. The duration of the broadcasting of each respective signal is controlled by a circuit which is responsive to the timing control member and the retrieved elements. The present invention may also broadcast sounds from externally input signals. This is effected through an external source element for obtaining such external input and a switch means for connecting either the stored elements retrieved from the memory or the external input from the external source to the audible broadcasting member.
