1. A recording system having a plurality of recording points for preparing data used for generating electronic tones, comprising:
an acoustic musical instrument selectively generating acoustic tones;
a sound-to-electric signal converter for converting said acoustic tones to pieces of analog audio signal at said plurality of recording points; and
a recorder connected to said sound-to-electric signal converter, and producing a group of waveform data sets representative of said acoustic tones from said pieces of analog audio signal and at least one piece of positional data representative of a position of one of said plurality of recording points so that said group of waveform data sets and said at least one piece of positional data are stored in a data storage forming a part thereof.
