9) Selecting Accompaniment Patterns The Rhythm Pattern Program allows you to use one of the Electone's Accompaniment patterns with your original rhythm. You can select and save the Accompaniment pattern that best matches the rhythm that you have created. Also, the Rhythm Pattern Program lets you use the Lower Rhythmic function to add your own backings, two measure long lower rhythmic patterns, to the rhythm you created. To select an appropriate Accompaniment pattern for your newly created rhythm: 1 Select the ACC. (Accompaniment) page with the Page buttons.
