Process techniques for plurality kind of musical tone information

A communications method for musical tone information comprising the steps of:

• (a) adding time information on a common time axis to first and second musical tone information;
• (b) receiving the first and second musical tone information and the time information associated with each of the first and second musical tone information;
• and
• (c) synchronizing the first and second musical tone information in accordance with the time information and outputting the synchronized first and second musical tone information to a reproduction apparatus.
