<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Ace Electronic Industry Inc (normally known
as Ace Tone) was a division of Sakata Shokai Limited of Osaka, Japan. They
produced a portable organ(the GT7) and several drum machines. There is
a relevant connection between Hammond and Roland here somewhere, as AceTone
products are too similar to Hammond and Roland products. The GT7 organ
was a clone of the Hammond X5, and the Rhythm Ace FR-2L is a clone of the
Auto-Rhythm from<br>
Hammond and rumour has it that AceTone became Roland. A further confusion
set in because in the UK Ace Tone products were distributed by Bentley
Pianos in Woodchester, Glos. who always stuck their badge on the products,
and sometimes Ace Tone drum machines are known as the Bentley Rhythm Ace
rather than the Ace Tone Rhythm Ace.</font>
