Rhythm Program
The Electone includes powerful rhythm programming functions: Rhythm Pattern Program and Rhythm
Sequence Program. Rhythm Pattern Program allows you to record your own original rhythms and save them
as user rhythms. Rhythm Sequence Program lets you connect the existing rhythms or your original rhythms to
create complete rhythm tracks, which you can automatically play back during your performance. Moreover,
Rhythm Sequence Program includes an automatic Registration Shift feature — called Registration Sequence.

Programming Operation
Rhythm Pattern Program
Rhythm Pattern Program lets you use any of the different
instrument sounds (drum and percussion) assigned to
each key on the Upper and Lower keyboards in creating
your own rhythms. Up to 48 of your original rhythms can
be saved as User Rhythms.
There are two ways to program a User pattern: copying a
preset rhythm that is similar to the rhythm you want to
create, or creating your own rhythm from scratch.
To copy a preset rhythm:
Copying a preset rhythm lets you make changes to an
existing rhythm, saving you time if you want to program
a rhythm that is similar to an existing preset pattern.
1 Select the rhythm you want to copy
from the Rhythm Menu.
2 While holding down the [PATTERN]
button in the panel (the display prompts
you to select a rhythm), select the
Rhythm button that contains the preset
rhythm to be copied to the Rhythm
Pattern Program.
NOTE
• Pressing the [PATTERN] button while the rhythm is running
automatically stops the rhythm.
• Rhythms with names ending with “+” cannot be edited
and used with the Assemble function (page 149).
