ABSTRACT:
A rhythm system includes a memory for storing rhythm patterns, with a plurality of sections for controlling individual rhythm instruments, and instrument generators for producing sounds in accordance with the patterns. The patterns are stored in memory lines, with the number of counts in the patterns differing from one pattern to another. A plurality of short rhythm patterns can be stored on a single memory line. The system includes pushbutton switches for selecting the particular rhythm patterns and automatically selects the proper clock frequency for timing the selected rhythm pattern. The system is automatically reset at the end of the pattern and can selectively reset at the beginning of an intermediate position in the memory line, as required when a plurality of rhythms are stored in sequence on a single line. The system can also provide a special rhythm, such as a drum break, and this can be inserted during the playing of a selected continuous rhythm.
