Rhythm Sequence Program
With the Rhythm Sequence Program function, you can
string together any of the Electone’s existing rhythms and
the rhythms of your own creation together to make
complete rhythm compositions.
You can save four rhythm compositions (each containing
up to 140 bars) to the Sequence buttons on the panel for
future recall. Two or more rhythm compositions can be
played back in succession, letting you divide a Song into
parts and play back the rhythm data as desired. Here are a
couple of example applications:
• When you want to play more than two Songs in a
medley, save the rhythm composition for each Song to
a separate sequence button. You can then recall each
desired Song by simply pressing the corresponding
sequence button to which the Song is saved.
• When you want to practice a Song in separate sections
(for example, separately practicing the verse, chorus
and bridge), divide the Song into the relevant parts. For
example, save the intro part to the [SEQ. 1] button, the
main chorus part to the [SEQ. 2] button, the ending to
the [SEQ. 3] button, and so on. Then, recall the desired
part simply by pressing the appropriate sequence
button. You can also play through a Song by recalling
all the parts in sequence.
There are two ways to program a Rhythm Sequence:
creating your own sequence from scratch, or copying and
editing an existing sequence that is similar to the
sequence you want to create.
