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. It adds a entirely new dimension to your performance by effectively putting a full backing band at your disposal. Depending on the feature or mode selected, you can play anything from a single note to a full chord on the Lower key board and hear complete, rhythmical bass and chord accompaniment. (1) To select the A.B.C. function, call up the Rhythm Condition page: Choose a rhythm on the panel, then press that rhythm's panel button again (or again press the Data Control button corresponding to the selected rhythm).
