ABSTRACT:
A system for use in electronic organs and electronically actuated organs wherein a pattern of notes sounding as if played on the accompaniment or solo manual are played from the pedalboard. The pedalboard is encoded such that depression of a pedal will generate an encoded binary word corresponding to a chord having as its root the note corresponding to the depressed pedal. Individual notes of the chord are played in a rhythmic sequence at a rate determined by the rhythm generator of the organ and in a pattern which can be selected by the organist. As the pattern is being automatically played, the organist is free to manually play a melody on the solo manual and accompaniment chords on the accompaniment manual. The pattern is changed from a major key to a minor key having the same root note by actuating a knee paddle.
