Rhythm Sequence Program

With the Rhythm Sequence Program function, you can connect any of
the Electone's existing rhythms and the rhythms of your own creation
together to make complete rhythm compositions. You can save four
rhythm compositions to the Sequence buttons on the panel for future
recall.

In this display, different rhythms (both Preset rhythms and User
rhythms that you created with the Rhythm Pattern Program) can be
entered in sequence along the pattern row in the middle of the
display. Entered patterns are shown in boxes, while the numbers in
the row above indicate the position.
Up to three-character code inside each box indicates the type and
number of the rhythm. The preset rhythms of the Electone are
indicated by a two-digit number (i.e., [05] or [16]). User patterns
are indicated by the "U" prefix as well as a letter suffix representing
the type-A,B,C,D, and F (Fill In). Examples of these include [U3C]
and [U8F]. The preset patterns also may have a letter suffix: "I"
indicates Intro, "F" indicates Fill In, and "E" indicates Ending (i.e.,
[01I], [20F], and [16E]).

When you select one of the sequences in
this step, any editing done to that
sequence is instantly and automatically
saved. This means that if you select a
sequence that is already programmed,
any editing you do will permanently
change the sequence and the original
sequence cannot be recovered.
