Programming A Sequence - Yamaha Electone EL-500 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
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.
NOTE:
A maximum of 120 patterns can be
entered to a single sequence.
