Operating The Rhythm From The Panel - Yamaha Electone STAGEA ELB-01 Owner's Manual

Operating the rhythm from the panel

You can turn the rhythm on/off and switch the sections as desired by pressing the
buttons on the panel. Using the Fill Ins and Break patterns let you add dynamic
interest and "spice" to your performance.
To start/stop the rhythm:
START
The rhythm begins as soon as the [START] button is pressed. To stop the rhythm, press the
button again.
SYNCHRO START
The [SYNCHRO START] button puts the rhythm in "standby." The rhythm starts when you
press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. When you start the rhythm with the
[SYNCHRO START] button, pressing this button again stops the rhythm.
INTRO
Pressing one of the INTRO [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds a short introduction before
starting the actual (Main) rhythm. First press one of the INTRO [1] – [3] buttons, then press
the [START] or [SYNCHRO START] button to actually start the rhythm.
While the introduction is playing, the BAR/BEAT display shows the countdown to the first
measure of the pattern. For example, if there is a four-measure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time,
the display at right appears:
ENDING
Pressing one of the ENDING [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds an ending phrase before
stopping the rhythm. When you press the Ending button while rhythm is playing back, the
rhythm will automatically stop after the ending phrase is played. You can have the ending
gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the ENDING button once again, while the
ending is playing.
NOTE
When you start the rhythm
with [SYNCHRO START]
button, set the Lower/Pedal
Memory to on. When
Memory is off, releasing
your fingers from Lower
keyboard stops the rhythm.
For details on Memory and
the A.B.C. function, see
page 71.
NOTE
Pressing the ENDING [1]
button during playback of
the Main section will first call
up the Fill In pattern, then
the Ending 1 pattern.
