The
Electone
B-40
lets you
choose
one of three bass
patterns to match the lower keyboard's harmony.
When the Single Finger Chord button is depressed, the
three bass variations are created, just as when the Fingered
Chord button is depressed.
Note:
This
bass variation
works
with
Rhumba
and Slow
Rock
beats. If the Rhythm
Variation button is pressed, however,
then bass variation will be available with Rhumba only.
This is the basic pattern; it alternates the root (1) and fifth
(b) in the bass regardless of rhythm chosen or type of
chord.
The one exception is the Jazz Rock rhythm, which
maintains root (1) pedal and no alternation.
Note:
The Slow
Rock
and Jazz Rock rhythms play only the root
(1), when the Rhythm Variation is switched on.
This selector effects the Slow Rock and Rhumba rhythms,
with which it will play a root (1), third (3), and fifth (5)
pattern.
All other rhythms function as with the (1.5)
selector.
Note:
The Rhumba rhythm will play a root (1), third (3), and fifth
(b) pattern,
when
the Rhythm
Variation
is switched
on.
This selector effects the Slow Rock and Rhumba rhythms
when a seventh or minor seventh chord is being played,
with which you will hear the root (1), seventh (7), and
fifth (5) bass notes.
When
playing a major or minor
chord
the unit will perform exactly as it does with the
second Bass Variation selector (1-3-5).
Note:
The Rhumba
rhythm will play a root (1), seventh (7), and
fifth (B) pattern, when the Rhythm Variation is switched on.
