Programming and Rhythm I]
Sequence Programming — —
The Electone also includes powerful Rhythm Program functions: the Rhythm Pattern Programmer and
the Rhythm Sequence Programmer. The Rhythm Pattern Programmer allows you to record your own
original rhythm patterns using the high-quality percussion sounds of the Electone. The Rhythm Se-
quence Programmer lets you connect your original rhythm patterns together with the Preset rhythm
patterns to create complete rhythm tracks, which you can automatically play back during your perform-
ance,
Outline of Rhythm Programming Operation
| The following is a brief outline of the steps necessary in programming your own rhythm patterns and rhythm
sequences. Once you work through the detailed instructions in the following sections and learn how to operate
the Rhythm Program functions, you can use this outline as a guide or reminder.
| 1) Press the RHYTHM PATTERN button to call up the Rhythm
| Pattern Programmer and select the Rhythm Program pages.
2) Make Beat, Quantize, and Metronome settings.
3) Select the Edit page to record percussion sounds and program
the pattern.
4) (Optional) Select the Accompaniment page to determine which
| accompaniment pattern will be used with your newly created
- rhythm.
a 5) Save your new rhythm pattern to memory.
6) Press the RHYTHM SEQUENCE button to call up the Rhythm
Sequence Programmer for connecting rhythm patterns together in
sequence to create songs.
7) Save your new rhythm sequences to the Sequence buttons.
| 8) (Optional) Finally, save all the User rhythm data you've created
in the above steps to disk.
Khythm Pattern Programming
The Rhythm Pattern Programmer works with the Keyboard Percussion feature to let you use any of 75 different
percussion sounds in creating your own rhythm patterns. Up to 16 separate rhythm "tracks” are provided in a
single pattern for each instrument part, and up to 40 patterns — eight User numbers, each with five variations —
can be memorized.

2 While holding down the RHY THM PATTERN button, select a
preset rhythm pattern to be copied to the Rhythm Pattern Pro-
grammer. Releasing the RHYTHM PATTERN button without
selecting a rhythm loads a blank pattern to the Programmer.
Copying a preset rhythm lets you make changes to an existing rhythm
pattern, saving you time if you want to program a rhythm that is similar
to an existing preset pattern. Two measures of the selected rhythm
pattern will be copied to the Rhythm Pattern Programmer.
Loading a blank rhythm pattern allows you to create your own rhythm
pattern from scratch.
COPYING A PATTERN FROM THE RHYTHM MENUS:
You can also copy a specific rhythm pattern from among the choices
in a Rhythm Menu. To do this, press the desired panel Rhythm button;
then select the desired pattern with the Data Control buttons —
BEFORE calling up the Rhythm Pattern Programmer and performing
steps #1 and #2 above. The specified rhythm will be copied once you
execute steps #1 and #2. (The same procedure can be used with the
FILL IN and INTRO. ENDING buttons for copying Fill In and End-
ing patterns.)

Note: When preset rhythm patterns
are copied to the Rhythm Program-
mer, the copied patterns may differ in
volume from the original patterns.

shown in the following chart.
Upper Keyboard
Step Write and Real Time Write Operation
There are two different methods you can use to program rhythm patterns: Step Write and Real Time Write. Step
Write allows you to enter percussion sounds as individual note values. As a method, it is very similar to writing
down the notes on a sheet of music paper; each note is entered one at a time, and though you can hear each indi-
vidual note entered, you cannot actually hear the pattern playing as you create it. Real Time Write on the other
hand, is similar to using a multitrack tape recorder; you can hear previously recorded parts of the pattern as you
record new parts on top.
36
Each method has its own advantages and uses, Step Write 1s good for precision and [or enlering percussion
sounds whose note placement and rhythmic value has been determined, such as a bass drum that plays every
beat in a measure. Real Time Write is best for capturing the "feel" of a rhythm, because it allows you to actually
play the pattern as you are creating it. Which method you use depends partly on the type of rhythm you intend to
create and partly on your own personal preference. You can even switch between the two methods in editing to
create a single rhythm pattern by the use of both methods, This would come in handy, for example, in program-
ming the basic beats of a rhythm with Step Write, then using Real Time Write to add percussion accents and
embellishments,
| Selecting Step Write or Real Time Write Operation
Step Write and Real Time Write can be selected from either the Beat/Quantize page or the Edit page. Which
mode of operation is selected depends on the play status of the rhythm pattern, If the rhythm is stopped, Step
Write is automatically selected. If the rhythm is playing, Real Time Write is selected. Simply press the START
button in the Rhythm section on the panel to start or stop the rhythm pattern and switch between the two modes.
Using the Beat/Quantize Page
The Beat/Quantize page is automatically displayed when calling up the Rhythm Pattern Programmer, It is used
in both Step Write and Real Time Write for selecting the basic timing settings of the pattern.
Beat Quantize Page — Step Write
о Beat
Determines the time signature used for the rhythm pattern. Available
time signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4,
O Quantize
Determines the resolution of the Step Write function. Step Write
operations involve advancing in “steps” along regularly spaced points
in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points there will be in
the measure, In Step Write, since you can only enter notes to those
points, the more points there are in a measure, the more leeway you
have in entering notes.
Quantize values are shown in the LCD as note values and represent
fractions of a measure; thus, the eighth note ( JJ) means
that there will be eight points or divisions in the measure, The default
setting is a quarter note.

below.)

_Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern
Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time Write from the Edit page. (Sounds can also
be entered in the Beat/Quantize page by Real Time Write.) As with the Beat/Quantize page above, the Step
Write version of the Edit page is selected when the rhythm pattern is stopped, and Real Time Write is selected
when the pattern is running.
[Editing with Step Write
Toenter sounds with Step Write:
1. Select the Edit page with the Page Select buttons, then use the
step forward and step reverse controls to advance or reverse the
rhythm clock to the point at which you wish to enter the percussion
sound.

2 « While the rhythm pattern is running, play the percussion
sounds from the Upper and/or Lower keyboards.
Listen to the metronome click as you play the sounds, using it as a
guide to keep in time and tempo. The pattern will automatically repeat
(or "loop" ) every two measures,
Each instrument sound is recorded and automatically assigned to a
separate track as you play it. All events of a single sound are assigned to
the same track; for example, if you alternately play a hi hat sound with a
snare drum, all notes of the hi hat will be recorded to one track and all
notes of the snare drum to another track, |

The rhythm sequences start from the lowest number and play in order
automatically to the highest number. (For example, if you press Se-
quence buttons 4, 2 and 1 in that order, the sequences will be played
back in their numeric order: 1, 2, then 4.) This function effectively
allows you to make a long rhythm sequence that exceeds the 120-
pattern memory limit of a single sequence.
Saving Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence Data to Disk
Once you have created your own rhythm patterns and rhythm sequences, you'll want to save them to disk.
Doing so allows you to free up memory in the Electone for creating additional rhythm patterns and sequences.
Also, the User rhythm patterns and sequences you've saved to disk can be loaded back to the Electone any time.
Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence data is included in the bulk data
that is saved when you record registrations to disk. Refer to the section
Recording Registrations, page 63, for instructions.
Recalling Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence Data

The Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence data saved to disk as part of bulk data, can instantly be loaded back
to the Electone. Refer to the section Recalling Recorded Registrations, page 64, for instructions.
Note: When loading your original
Rhythm Program data back to the
Electone, be sure to stop the rhythm
pattern if it is playing. Loading can-
not be executed when a rhythm pat-
tern is running.
