Abstract: The electronic apparatus comprises a processing unit for classification and storage of a plurality of musical compositions, and a control device, such as a keyboard or MIDI connection, for performing of sequences of connoting musical events, to be stored and related to each single musical composition. The same control device may then be, used for performing of one or more sequences of searching musical events, in order to automatically find and subsequently read-out an associated musical composition from a storage memory of the CPU. For this purpose, the processing unit comprises program means for comparing a searching sequence with the connoting sequence of musical events, reading-out one or more of the stored musical compositions in the event of total or partial equivalence between the compared sequences of musical events.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus for the automatic composition and reproduction of musical accompaniments and/or songs.

Abstract: In an automatic accompaniment-playing apparatus, when an accompaniment pattern corresponding to a detected chord is not stored as information in a memory, an accompaniment pattern as information read from the memory in accordance with the priority level is changed so as to be suited to the detected chord. In a chord detecting apparatus, inversion modes are obtained based on an information-on-depressed-key so as to determine chords relative to the inversion modes obtained in this way. Then, the chords determined in this way are weighted, and a chord weighted at the maximum level out of the chords thus weighted is determined as one based on the above information-on-depressed-key.
