Electric music instrument with the capability of memorizing and producing different musical scales

An electronic musical instrument comprising:

• a keyboard having a plurality of keys;
• a musical tone generating means for generating a plurality of musical tones in response to operation of a key among said plurality of keys;
• a plurality of memories corresponding to said plurality of keys;
• an input device for storing pitch control data in said plurality of memories, said pitch control data representing a pitch to be generated corresponding to each of said plurality of keys;
• mode designating means for designating an input mode;
• writing means for writing, when the input mode is designated, the pitch control data according to operation of said input device in one of said plurality of memories corresponding to a depressed key;
• and
• pitch control means for controlling, when the input mode is not designated, a pitch of one of musical tones generated in response to the depressed key on the basis of the pitch control data in one of said plurality of memories corresponding to the depressed key.

An electronic musical instrument with key tone generating function, comprising:

• a plurality of memory means corresponding to a plurality of keys of a keyboard, each of said memory means storing pitch control data concerning a corresponding one of said keys so that a scale corresponding to each of said memory means is formed, said formed scales being of different types from each other;
• input operating means for selectively performing one of a coarse adjustment operation and a fine adjustment operation;
• and
• rewriting means for rewriting pitch control data of one of said plurality of memory means which corresponds to a desired key in response to operation of said input operating means, said rewriting means rewriting the pitch control data in correspondence with the coarse adjustment operation for a relatively large pitch change amount and rewriting the pitch control data in correspondence with the fine adjustment for a relatively small pitch change amount,
• wherein a pitch of a musical tone generated in accordance with a depressed key of said keyboard is controlled on the basis of pitch control data of one of said plurality of memory means corresponding to the depressed key.
