Programming A Sequence - Yamaha Electone EL-87 Owner's Manual

You can program the rhythm sequence a
measure at a time. Every User rhythm
consists of two measures. If you want to
program two-measure User rhythms, you
are required to enter it twice, for the first
measure and the second measure.
When entered, the first measure is
displayed as positive box
second measure is displayed as negative
box .
The rhythm patterns can be divided into
four groups: Normal such as
Intro, Fill In and Ending. When changing
the type, for example, from Normal to Fill
In and Fill In to Normal while
programming a rhythm sequence, the first
measure of the newly selected type will
always be selected and follow. However,
when the same type continues even
though you change the rhythm, for
example, from to
measure may succeed the sequence. That
means some of the User rhythms inserted
in a rhythm sequence may begin from its
second measure.
To keep this from happening and begin
the newly selected rhythm from the first
measure, insert a different type, Fill In,
before using the new rhythm pattern.
N O T E :
A maximum of 120 patterns can be
entered to a single sequence.
