SPECIAL FEATURES
1) Troublefree
It is an established and well known fact that Electronic
Organs produce sound through electronic device. Likewise,
electronic rhythm instruments have been developed on the
same principle. Hitherto, percussive sounds were produced
mechanically through usage of rotary disc, etc. and since
the operation was dependent almost entirely on its mechanical
make-up, defects caused by mechanical malfunction was by far
the biggest drawback. To over-come such drawbacks, our
revolutionary "RHYTHM ACE" Full Auto has been devel
oped on new principles a nonmechanical solid state elec
tronic brain incorporating modern precision manufactured
transistors.
2) Always start from the first beat.
Rhythm will always start from the first beat. Start, stop
and re-start operations can be done with ease through the
use of a footswitch.
