A song accompaniment system includes a karaoke machine and a simulated guitar machine, and the karaoke machine downloads accompanying music in the form of MIDI data from a source data storage. Of the MIDI data downloaded from the source data storage, a simulative instrument part of the accompanying music is transferred to the simulated guitar machine. In the simulated guitar machine, an allocation processor allocates individual sounds of the simulative instrument part to three scroll bars in a guidance picture which is presented on a monitor of the simulated guitar machine, and operating timing for producing the individual sounds is indicated by note marks which are scrolled along the scroll bars. When a player plays a simulated guitar, tone waveforms contained in the MIDI data received from the source data storage are modulated and an audio signal thus generated is output from speakers. If the simulated guitar is correctly operated, the accompanying music is reproduced in proper fashion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A song accompaniment system comprising:a singing support apparatus including a first sound output device which outputs accompanying music played by a plurality of musical instruments with a capability to mix and output vocal sounds entered from a microphone with the accompanying music; andan instrumental accompaniment apparatus including a simulative instrument having a timing indicating operation device, a first monitor which presents on-screen guidance indicating operating timing of the simulative instrument for playing a simulative instrument part of the accompanying music selectively taken in from the singing support apparatus, and a second sound output device which outputs sounds of the simulative instrument part when the instrumental accompaniment apparatus senses that the timing indicating operation device is operated in accordance with the on-screen guidance;wherein the singing support apparatus stores the simulative instrument part of the accompanying music and remaining part of the accompanying music, and delivers the accompanying music excluding the simulative instrument part to the first sound output device.
