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
bass accompaniment as you play. It adds an entirely new
dimension to your performance by effectively putting a
full backing band at your disposal. One of three different
modes (Single Finger, Fingered Chord, Custom A.B.C.) is
used for producing Automatic Accompaniment patterns.
Before using the A.B.C. function, turn Pedal Poly off. If
Pedal Poly is set to on, the bass pattern of the A.B.C. will
not sound.

To set the A.B.C. function:
Press the [A.B.C./M.O.C.] button.
The A.B.C./M.O.C. display appears. The A.B.C. section is
at the left half of this display.

Cancels the Auto Bass Chord function.
SINGLE FINGER:
The Single Finger mode provides the fastest and
easiest means to obtain many different chord/bass
combinations. You can produce major, minor, 7th,
and minor 7th chords by simply using one, or at
most, two or three fingers to play the chords. The
chord produced will sound in the same octave
regardless of where it is played on the Lower
keyboard.
Key of C
Major chords:
Press the root of the chord (the note
that corresponds to the chord’s name).
Minor chords:
Simultaneously press the root and any
one black key to the left of it.
7th chords:
Simultaneously press the root and any
one white key to the left of it.
Minor 7th chords:
Simultaneously press the root as well
as any black key and any white key to
the left of it.
Playing single finger chords without the use of the
rhythm lets you add full continuous chords to your
performance.
FINGERED CHORD:
The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces
bass 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 full chords while the
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the
appropriate bass pattern. If you play only one or two
notes in the Lower keyboard, the appropriate chord
will sound based on the previously played chord.
