TEMPO Display (BAR/BEAT Indicator)
Shows the current tempo. (Displayed values are given in beats per
minute, just as on a conventional metronome.) The tempo range is 40 to
240 beats per minute.
When the rhythm pattern begins playing, the TEMPO display changes
function to a bar/beat indicator.
The number on the left indicates the current bar or measure and the one
on the right indicates the number of the beat in each bar. The beat indicator
lamp above the display also indicates the beats.
Fill In Patterns
Fill In Patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks to spice up a repeating
rhythm pattern. Like the regular rhythm patterns, all Fill In patterns have been designed to perfectly match the
bass and chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment feature.
To use the Fill In patterns:
1.
Select and play a rhythm pattern.
2.
As you play the Electone along with the rhythm
pattern, occasionally press the FILL IN button.
For best results, press the FILL IN button just at the beginning or the first beat
of a measure.

NOTE
USING A FILL IN FOR THE START OF
A SONG:
Fill In patterns can also be used as
introductions; simply press the FILL IN
button before starting the rhythm with
the START or SYNCHRO START
buttons.
PLAYING PARTIAL FILL IN
PATTERNS:
You can also start Fill In patterns
within a bar, in order to play only the
final one or two beats of the Fill In
pattern and create additional rhythmic
interest. Since the Fill In feature is very
sensitive to bar/beat boundaries, you
should be very careful to “play” the
FILL IN button precisely on (or just
slightly before) the beat that you want
the Fill In pattern to begin.
