5 Automatic Accompaniment - Auto
Bass Chord (A.B.C.)
The Auto Bass Chord (A.B.C.) function works with the Rhythm section
of the Electone to automatically produce chord and bass accompaniment
as you play. It adds an entirely new dimension to your performance by
effectively putting a full backing band at your disposal. Depending on
the feature or mode selected, you can play anything from a single note to
a full chord on the Lower key board and hear complete, rhythmical bass
and chord accompaniment.
1) To select the A.B.C. function (from the Rhythm Condition page):
Choose a rhythm on the panel, then press that rhythmﾕs panel button again (or
again press the Data Control button corresponding to the selected rhythm).

Single Finger Mode

The Single Finger mode provides the fastest and easiest means to obtain
many different chord/bass combinations, by simply using one, or at most,
two or three fingers to play the chords.

Fingered Chord Mode
-3
The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass and chord
accompaniment for chords played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use
a wider range of chord types than in the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered
Chord mode, you play all the notes of the chord while the Auto Bass Chord
function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern.

Custom A.B.C. Mode
-4
The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord
mode. It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the
accompaniment by playing a note on the Pedalboard along with the chords
you play in the Lower keyboard.
