Abstract: An automatic playing device has a memory which stores sequence data consisting of musical sound data and sequence data to control read-out of the musical sound data. A processing unit repeatedly reads out musical sound data specified by the control data included in the sequence data stored in the memory. A movement instruction switch gives instructions for movement of an accompaniment part to be played. A control device terminates, when an instruction for movement of a part to be played is issued by the movement instruction switch, the operation to repeatedly read out musical sound data if musical sound data stored in the memory is being repeatedly read out by the processing unit. In this case, the control device moves system operation to read out the next sequence data.
