Turn the rhythm on.
You can use one of three buttons to turn on the rhythm:
1 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.
2 SYNCHRO START
This button puts the rhythm in 'stand-by' status. The rhythm will
start when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard.
3 INTRO. ENDING
Pressing this button automatically adds a short introduction (of up to
eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm.
First, press the INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or
SYNCHRO START button to actually start the rhythm.
While the introduction is playing, the 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.
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.

Set the volume using the panel rhythm volume button.
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 can also be made from the Rhythm Condition page (page 47).

The Left Footswitch can also be used to
turn the rhythm on and off in the middle of
song. To assign the Footswitch for rhythm
control, see page 99.
ABOUT SYNCHRO START:
Synchro Start functions quite differently
when the Auto Bass Chord feature is
turned on and the Accompaniment
Memory is turned off. The rhythm 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 Auto Bass Chord section,
page 51, for details on Auto Bass Chord
and Memory.)
When the Electone is turned on, the
Rhythm Volume is automatically set to 0.
