PATTERNS (Cont'd)
The same "follow the player' optional voices are available on the new unit;
namely, Brush and Snare on the lower manual and Bass Drum and Cymbal on the
pedals. Assigned voices sound only when the rhythm unit is not running.
Pattern order and names are shown in Figure 1 as are location of the "follow
the player" voices. Also shown above the pattern buttons are the Continuous/
Touch Start and Foot Switch Reset controls. In the Continuous mode, the se-
lected rhythm pattern will sound at all times except when a "Break" is de-
sired. In the Touch Start mode the rhythm unit will not sound until a lower
manual or pedal note is played. In both modes on/off control is made by means
of the left hand touch p~d.
The foot switch mounted on the right side of the swell pedal can be used to
interrupt (silence) the rhythm pattern in either Continuous or Touch Start
modes wi thout los ing the tempo. However, when the Foot Swi tch Reset is "on"
and the player is in the Touch Start mode, the rhythm unit will not sound
again until a L/M key or pedal is played. In both Continuous and Touch Start
modes with foot switch operation in the Reset Mode the pattern starts at beat
one, measure one of Variation A or the first programmed variation.
RHYTHM BREAKS
There are six Rhythm Breaks assigned to twelve specific rhythm pattern. n
break assignments are shown in Table 3. A Rhythm Break is initiated by toU( -
int the break pad at any time when one of these patterns with an assigned bleak
is playing. The amount (number of beats) of break that one hears is determined
by the time of initiation.
If the break is triggered at the start of measure one beat one, two full mea-
sures of the break will play. If the break is triggered at any time after beat
one measure one, only the remaining period of the two measure cycle will play.
This musical logic was established to prevent the break from getting out of
step with the basic patter. However, it also permits the player to do creative
drum fills with 2 or 3 beat (etc.) breaks.
If the break is triggered when Autochord with Memory is on, the lower manual
and pedal will go silent. However, if one is holding any lower manual keys,
the manual will sound but will not be chopped during the break period. After
the break, the player must restore memory by playing the lower manual if he
wishes to hear manual and pedal in AUTOCHORD mode.
A break may be played as an introduction simply by touching the break pad be-
fore starting the rhythm pattern with the Silent/Sound pad.
On the 340 organ, break control can also be selectively triggered by the PRO
FOOT switch mounted on the left hand side of the swell pedal.
RHYTHM FADE
This feature can be controlled by a momentary switch mounted on the Rhythm
control panel or selectively triggered by the PRO FOOT switch. Fade will
smoothly reduce the level of all rhythm voices to inaudibility over a period
of approximately 10 seconds. To turn the voices "on" after a Fade sequence,
the player must again momentarily operate the Fade contro1(s) or perform a
Stop/Start cycle.
