2 Rhythm Sequence Program With the Rhythm Sequence Program function, you can connect 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 to the Sequence buttons on the panel for future recall. (1) Selecting a Sequence 1 Press the SEQUENCE button in the DISPLAY SELECT section. The LEDs of the numbered Sequence buttons in the Rhythm section on the panel will flash and the following display will prompt you to select a sequence number. NOTE: When you select one of the sequences in this step, any editing done to that sequence is instantly and automatically saved. This means that if you select a sequence that is already programmed, any editing you do will permanently change the sequence and the original sequence cannot be recovered. 2 Press one of the Sequence buttons to call up the Rhythm Sequence display. In this display, different rhythms (both Preset rhythms and User rhythms that you created with the Rhythm Pattern Program) can be entered in sequence along the pattern row in the middle of the display. Entered patterns are shown in boxes, while the numbers in the row above indicate the position. Up to three-character code inside each box indicates the type and number of the rhythm. The preset rhythms of the Electone are indicated by a two-digit number (i.e., [05] or [16]). User patterns are indicated by the "U" prefix as well as a letter suffix representing the type-A,B,C,D, and F (Fill In). Examples of these include [U3C] and [U8F]. The preset patterns also may have a letter suffix: "I" indicates Intro, "F" indicates Fill In, and "E" indicates Ending (i.e., [01I], [20F], and [16E]). NOTE: Any rhythm currently playing will automatically be stopped when you call up the Rhythm Sequence Program function. Also, use of the Music Disk Recorder function automatically cancels Rhythm Sequence operations. 123
