Synchro Start - Yamaha Electone EL-37 Owner's Manual

" SYNCHRO START

This button puts the rhythm pattern in "stand-by"; the rhythm will start
when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. To stop
the rhythm, press this button again.
# INTRO. ENDING
Pressing this button automatically plays a short introduction (of up to
eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm pattern. First, press the
INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or SYNCHRO START button to
actually start the rhythm.
While the introduction is playing, the TEMPO Display shows the
countdown to the first measure of the pattern. For example, if there is an
eight-measure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time, the following display
appears:
TEMPO
Pressing the INTRO. ENDING button again while the pattern is being played
will automatically add an ending phrase before stopping the rhythm.

Pressing the START button while holding down the INTRO. ENDING button
automatically plays a special one-measure Lead In, with a click on each beat,
to cue you in to the beginning of the song.

ABOUT SYNCHRO START:
The Synchro Start feature functions
quite differently when Auto Bass Chord
is turned on and Accompaniment
Memory is turned off. The rhythm pattern
starts when a key on the Lower
keyboard is played, but then
immediately stops when the key is
released. To keep this from happening,
turn the Memory function on. (Refer to
the A.B.C. section, page 36, for details
on Auto Bass Chord and Memory.)
NOTE
NOTE
However, it cannot be used to start the
rhythm at the beginning of a song. (To
assign the footswitch for rhythm control,
See page 89.)
Tempo display:
shows the current tempo.
When the Electone is turned on,
the rhythm volume is
automatically set to 0.
The left footswitch can also be
used to turn the rhythm off and
on in the middle of a song.
