4 Rhythm and Accompaniment
The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to automatically play
various rhythms. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with the rhythms, providing appropriate and
completely automatic accompaniment to match the style of the selected rhythm. Moreover, the Electone has a
Keyboard Percussion feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard
and Pedalboard.
