Set The Volume; Synchro Start - Yamaha Electone EL-27 Owner's Manual

3.

Set the volume.

Press the VOLUME controls to the right of the RHYTHM buttons to set the
desired level of the rhythm.
The controls have seven volume settings, from a minimum of 0, or no
sound, to a maximum of full volume.
Fine adjustments in the volume of the rhythm pattern can also be made
from the Rhythm Condition page (see page 35.).
4.
Turn the rhythm on. You can use one of three buttons
to turn on the rhythm:
! START
This button does as its name indicates; the rhythm begins as soon as the
button is pressed. To stop the rhythm, press this button again.

" 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
INTRO.
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 buttons.
While the introduction is playing, the TEMPO display shows the countdown
to the first measure of the pattern.
ENDING
Pressing the INTRO. ENDING button again while the pattern is being played
will automatically add an ending phrase before stopping the rhythm.
LEAD IN
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.

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. (To assign
the footswitch for rhythm control, see
page 51.)
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
40, for details on Auto Bass Chord
and Memory.)
The EL-27 does not sound by
playing the Lower Keyboard
while the introduction is played back.
