SOUNDS AND EFFECTS
To completely familiarize yourself with the various
sounds and effects possible with the Auto Bass/
Chord, hold the G7 chord down and try changing
the Rhythm buttons (example: Swing to Bossanova
to Samba).
With each change, try each of the
three
Bass Variation
buttons
and
listen to the
bass pedal pattern changes.
While you're experi-
menting with the rhythm patterns, use the Volume
knob
(upper left)
to
increase
and
reduce
the
volume
of the Auto
Rhythm
Section and listen
to the changing balance between
the percussive
rhythms and the chords and pedals.
Strive for
a good
balance.
The
speed
of your
rhythm
accompaniments
can be controlled
precisely with
the use of the Tempo control and will depend on
your
musical: taste and
ability to maintain
the
tempo
(speed) of the right hand
melody.
SYNCHRO-START
When
the Synchro-Start
selector is in the "ON"
position,
the red
light will blink the speed of
the
rhythm.
When
the rhythm
is playing, the
red light will blink on the first and sometimes the
first and
third
beats of the measure
depending
on
the rhythm
chosen.
RHYTHM
AND
REGISTRATIONS
The suggested rhythms and registrations are only
suggestions
and other rhythms and registrations
may be used.
It is fun to experiment with rhythm
and
sound.
However,
when
the fraction
at the
beginning
of the
song
is 3/4, only the Waltz
rhythm
can
be used.
Try changing rhythms
in the same
song.
When
changing rhythm
in a song the rhythm used must
remain at the same tempo (speed).
Both Swing
and Slow
Rock are the same speed and can be
used interchangeably.
The Jazz Rock, Bossanova,
Rhumba
and Samba
are all the same speed and
can be used
interchangeably.
The
rhythms
that use three
bass pedals (notes)
are Slow Rock, Rhumba
and Samba.
To use the
three
bass
pedals,
the
Bass Variations
selector
must Бе)
