To provide a KARAOKE device permitting to speedily reproduce only a corresponding part without complex operation of a control means, and efficiently perform training, in order to have the training on the part of wrong or incomplete singing.
A signal of a disk D reproduced by a spindle motor 1 and an optical pickup 2 is converted into an accompaniment sound signal (a) and a model vocal signal (b) by a signal processing circuit 4 and a DA converter circuit 5. A singing evaluation means is comprised of a timing detecting system formed of a timing detecting circuit 18, a timing detecting circuit 20 and a comparator 22, and an interval detecting system formed of an interval detecting circuit 19, an interval detecting circuit 21 and a comparator 23. When singing evaluation is judged as low by the singing evaluation means, a timing comparison signal (c) or an interval comparison signal (d) is outputted to a microcomputer 15, and address data A at that time is stored in a memory 16 so that reproduction for training after that can be carried out on the part corresponding to the address data A.
