About the Rhythm Sequence
Rhythm Sequence is built up with various different rhythm patterns, and
can be programmed by the other Electone such as EL-700 and EL-500.
The EL-400 doesnt have Rhythm Sequence function, but it can read and
load the rhythm sequence data recorded on the MDR (a floppy disk) to its
four SEQ buttons in the Rhythm section and play back them, as follows:
1. Insert the floppy disk containing rhythm sequence data into the EL-400
s MDR slot. The rhythm sequence data is recorded as a part of
registration data (explained on page 78).
2. Select the song number containing the registration data and press PLAY
button on the MDR to load the data. The rhythm sequence data has been
loaded to the Electone, or SEQ button(s).
3. Press the desired SEQ button. The SEQ buttons lamp will be lit.

NOTE:
Four types of metronome sounds,
simple metronome, two four, three four
and four four, are assigned to the SEQ 1
4 buttons, respectively, as the
defaults. (page 72)
NOTE:
As soon as you load the sequence data
using MDR, the default settings on each
SEQ button, four types of metronome
sounds, will be overwritten, or lost.
If you want to restore the default
settings, execute Power On Reset (page
72) operation.
Also, pressing any of the BASIC
REGIST buttons generates a short beep
sound and retrieves the metronome
sounds.
