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:
NOTE
When an Intro or Ending pattern is playing, the Lower Keyboard
cannot be played.
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
Pressing the ENDING [1] button during playback of the Main
section will first call up the Fill In pattern, then the Ending 1
pattern.
To switch the rhythm sections:
You can change the rhythm section of the Main phrase by
pressing the desired MAIN/FILL IN [A] – [D] button.
The selected section’s lamp (above the button) is lit.
To use the Fill In patterns:
As you play the Electone along with the rhythm,
occasionally press the selected MAIN/FILL button as
desired. A Fill In pattern of one measure will be played
and the selected Fill In section’s lamp (above the button)
flashes.
NOTE
You can record the currently selected section to Registration
Memory. However, you cannot record the on/off status of the
Auto Fill In function.
When you use the Auto Fill In function, Fill Ins will be
played automatically. The Auto Fill In function is set in
the Rhythm Condition display.
Pressing the selected Rhythm button on the panel again
(or pressing the rhythm name of the selected rhythm in
the display) calls up the Rhythm Condition display.
When Auto Fill is set to ON in the left side of the display,
the Fill In pattern is automatically played whenever you
switch the Main sections.
To use the Break patterns:
As you play the Electone along with the rhythm,
occasionally press the [BREAK] button.
Moreover, you can start/stop the rhythm and switch the
sections by using the Footswitch. See page 179 for details.
