Rhythm, Accompaniment And Percussion; Selecting Rhythm Patterns From The Panel - Yamaha Electone EL-27 Owner's Manual

4 Rhythm, Accompaniment and Percussion

The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to
automatically play various rhythm patterns. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with
the rhythm patterns, providing appropriate and completely automatic accompaniment to match
the style of the rhythm pattern selected. Moreover, the Electone has a Keyboard Percussion
feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard and
Pedalboard.
