Abstract
An electronic rhythm 'break' pattern generator for use with a rhythm generator of the type used with electronic organs. The break pattern generator, when operative, interrupts the flow of the normal rhythm pattern and substitutes a special rhythm pattern for one cycle of the normal rhythm pattern. The typical pattern is of a type usually played by experienced musicians at the beginning, or end, of a musical composition and form 'lead-in' and 'lead-out' rhythm pattern portions. The system according to the present invention can also provide for an alternate rhythm pattern at any time not limited to the beginning or end of a composition.
