5 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 chord and bass accompaniment as you play. There are three modes to obtain Automatic Accompaniment patterns. To select the A.B.C. function: Press the A.B.C./M.O.C. button in the DISPLAY SELECT section. DISPLAY SELECT VOICE EFFECT A.B.C.

It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play all the notes of the chord while the Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern. 1 -4 Custom A.B.C. A slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode. It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by playing a note on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard. 4 51 Rhythm and Accompaniment
