NOTE:
The left footswitch can also be used to
turn the rhythm off and on in the
middle of song. (To assign the
footswitch for rhythm control, see
page 118.)
NOTE:
ABOUT SYNCHRO START:
Synchro Start functions quite
defferently 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 Automatic
Accompaniment section, page 46, for
details on Auto Bass Chord and
Memory.)
NOTE:
When the Electone is turned on, the
Rhythm Volume is automatically set to
0.

Turn the rhythm on. You can use one of three buttons to turn

INTRO.
ENDING

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"; the rhythm will start
when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard.
To stop the rhythm, press this button again.
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 SYNCRO
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 a 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 bead, to cue you in to the beginning of the
song.
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 can also be made
from the Rhythm Condition page (page 42).
