PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Voice Display, Page 2

The indications assisting your realtime performance are prepared in this page. It's convenient for you to display this page when you play the Electone since you can visually confirm the functions related to realtime performance.
Shows the current tempo, which is the same as the one on the Tempo LED in the Rhythm section. You don't need to look aside and confirm the tempo every time you want to check the current tempo in the middle of the performance.

Bar/Beat

As the name implies, this works as the bar and beat indicators. The difference from the existing Bar/Beat Indicator (LED in the Rhythm section) is that this indication is independent from the Tempo display and you will not miss every beat even when the tempo change occurs. Also, you don't need to twist your head to see the current bar/beat.
q Bar/Beat indication when rhythm starts:
q Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is off:
When you currently stop the rhythm, STOP is displayed.
q Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is in stand-by mode (Synchro. Start):

Registration Shift

q Registration Shift, off:
The current position/registration is displayed.
q Registration Shift, in "Shift" mode:
The current registration number (left) and the next number (right) will be displayed.
q Registration Shift, in "Jump" mode:
The current registration number (left) and the destination number (right) will be displayed. You can change the destination number even in the middle of the performance by pressing the appropriate Data Control buttons.
q Registration Shift, in User mode:
Indicates the current position of the Registration Shift. You can change the registration by moving the cursor to right and left. It's handy when you have wrongly advanced the shift setting in the middle of your performance. You cannot edit the user registration settings here.

M.D.R. Operation

Start, Stop and Song Select operations on the M.D.R. can be executed here. The currently selected song number and its name will be displayed. When you set the Next Song function, you can visually confirm if the next song has been read, or not.

q M.D.R.: not displayed

Nothing is displayed when no disk is inserted or while one of the following function is engaged: Recording, Song Delete, Song Copy and Disk Copy. No Data Control button is operable, in this case.
q M.D.R.: displaying the song name when stopped
The number and name of the currently selected song are displayed. Also, those of the XG songs are displayed.
q M.D.R.: displaying the song name during playback

Displayed during playback including song repeat function. Only STOP button is available in this case. When Next Song function is executed, the song number/name will be changed.

Voice Display, Page 3

You can adjust to "uniform" a specific parameter used in various voice group at one time. Take Reverb here, for example, you may sometimes want to change Reverb depth of the entire system equally when you rehearse in a concert since each concert hall has its own environmental characteristics, or resonance. Although you know you can change the Reverb settings of the entire system at one time even on the EL-900, the EL-900m lets you do the same operation with various parameters. Furthermore, you can select from the several changing methods: changing the specific parameter values in a certain registration to the value in another registration at one time or offsetting a certain amount of value from a certain parameter in a registration on the basis of the one in another registration.
q Let's check each section in the Voice Display.
1 Voice Group Shows the currently selected voice group. 2 Parameter Shows the current parameter. 3 Registration Memory Number Shows the currently selected Registration Memory number. 4 Voice Name Shows the voice name currently assigned to the displayed Voice Group. 5 Registration Memory (1 - 16) The cursor (box) is positioned at the currently selected Registration Memory number. You can move the cursor to select another registration by pressing the Data Control buttons corresponding to the left/right arrows in REGISTRATION SELECT section. Notice that you cannot move the cursor by directly pressing one of the Registration Memory buttons between the Upper and Lower keyboards.
6 Same Voice A line under each registration number indicates that the currently assigned voice to the registration is the same as the one shown at the top 4. 7 Parameter Value Shows the values of the currently selected parameter 2 to each registration. Each value corresponds to the ones currently assigned to each voice group.

Basic Operation

1 Select the desired parameter.P.30
2 Select the appropriate registration that contains the parameter value you want to use it as

the master.P.31

3 Select the targeted registration numbers that contain the parameter value you want to
change by turning on/off them.P.31
4 Uniform the targeted parameter
value(s) to that of the registration at the cursor position.P.32

You can offset the panning position using LEFT/RIGHT buttons (DEC./INC. are changed to LEFT/RIGHT in the case of panning).

4 Pedal Polyphonic Mode

You can change the monophonic pedal voices to be polyphonic.
Be aware that you cannot exceed the total maximum polyphony, 14 notes for both Upper, Lower and Pedal.
This makes it possible for you to enjoy various playing styles.
Legato and polyphonic play on the Pedalboard
You can make the different settings between Pedal Voice 1 and 2.
Pedal voices to the Lower keyboard
You can use one of the Pedal voices on the Lower keyboard using To Lower function.
Polyphonic Pedal voice and A.B.C. function
Set one of the Pedal Voice groups to Polyphonic mode and turn on the A.B.C. function. You can play the pedal voice independently and A.B.C. function produces sounds using the other Pedal Voice group.
A.B.C. function is not available with the Pedal Voice group which Polyphonic mode is set to on.

5 VA Voice Edit

Editing VA voices becomes possible with EL-900m. The available parameters are the same as the ones on AWM.
q OL (Output Level) Determines the level of the VA sound. Range: 0 - 127 q AR (Attack Rate) Determines how quickly the Operator will reach its maximum level after the key is played. Lower values produce a slower attack. Range: -64 - +63 q DR (Decay Rate) Determines how much time it takes for the Operator to reach its second level. Range: -64 - +63 q RR (Release Rate) Determines how much time it takes for the level to reach 0 after the key is released. Range: -64 - +63 q LOW Determines to boost or decrease the output of the lower range of the keyboard. Range: -64 - +63 q HIGH Determines to boost or decrease the output of the higher range of the keyboard. Range: -64 - +63
You need to understand the functions of each parameter to edit the VA voices.
The basic concept and necessary operations are the same as the ones for AWM voice editing.
Some voices may not have distinctive effect.
As you can see the algorithm, a VA voice is configured with three factors: VA, AWM and FM. However, the output levels of AWM and FM tone generators are set to off, and VA voices sound using VA tone generator only. (This is true for all VA voices.) You can edit the VA voices adding AWM and/or FM voice elements. Now listen to the "hidden" voices by raising the AWM and/or FM output levels.

The VA voices built in EL-900 are also configured with VA, AWM and FM.
Let's check VA Shakuhachi voice.
Engage editing the voice.
The OL of FM OP1, carrier, is set to 0. Moves the cursor to OP5. The OL of FM OP5, carrier, is also set to 0.
Move the cursor to AWM, and its OL is also set to 0. Gradually raise the OL of the AWM. In this case, turn off the VA tone generator (positive letters).
Turning each operator on/off: Move the cursor to select the appropriate operator using the second Data Control buttons from the left and temporarily turn off the operator using the left most Data Control buttons.
The voice, Shamisen, will gradually be heard. You understand that Shamisen is preset as AWM voice. Also, check the FM "hidden" voice by raising OL of FM carrier. Turn off AWM and VA and listen to the FM voice. (VA and AWM should be displayed in positive letters.)
You will find an attack sound similar to Shamisen voice in the OP1 and OP5, carriers of FM synthesis. Turn these FM carriers to off and turn the VA and AWM back to on. (Be sure to lower the OL of FM OP1 and OP5 to the minimum.) You can produce an effective voice using two voice factors, VA and AWM here for example, in a single voice.
Save the voice to the Custom voice area.
Select SAVE page and save to the VA Custom Voice locations, different from the normal voices (User Voice). You can name the voice you created as well as you do for the normal voices. The operation and the number of letters for naming are the same as the one for normal voices.
Name the voice "02 Shaku&Koto" here.

VOICE NAME

Up to 16 letters can be used to name your newly created voice. Yamaha recommends you to add the Custom (user) voice number to the voice you created. When displayed on the LCD or when reediting the voice, you may become unsure which user voice you are editing. If you name a voice "Trumpet," the Voice Display simply shows it "(c) Trumpet." It will be difficult for you to know to which user number the voice is saved. If you add the appropriate user number to the created voice, you can easily understand the voice's derivation.
Up to 6 user voice locations, Custom voices, are available for the VA voices. All the Custom voice locations are tentatively preset with voices as factory preset. Those voices will be overwritten and cleared, when you save your own voices to the locations. If you want to keep a certain preset voice intact, select another location to save your voice.

Resetting the Custom (VA user) voices to the factory presets: Power-On reset operation restores original voices. If you don't want to restore and you want to keep some of them with your voices, you can save the original voices to a disk in advance and reload the voice(s) one by one from it to Electone.
Reproducing the edited VA voices on EL-900
The edited VA voices can be reproduced on EL-900. Although saving the registration again on EL-900 resets the voice parameters to 0, the voice itself is intact. The voice name will also be reset. Be aware those facts when saving the registration again.

VOICE DISK

VA voice disk is optionally available. The operation procedure is the same as the one for normal voices. Select a VA voice and enter voice editing.
Select VOICE DISK using Page buttons.

Insert a VA voice disk.

Select the desired voice by pressing Data Control buttons.
Designate one of the VA Custom voices and save the voice.
6 Registration Shift Next Song +
Different from EL-900, the user oices can also be read in the Ne Song operation with EL-900m v xt (Next Song +). You can use the user oices more than 16. v
Registration Shift: Mode Page
Registration Shift: User Edit

A suffix, +, is added.

IMPORTANT
q Use the same user voice number and name for the same voices between songs. q If a voice with a specific user number is used in the previous song and another voice with the same user number is used in the next, always change one of the two voice names.
If you set the same user voices the user voices will not sound again in the consecutive song. The sound will be played again in the transition to the next song, if the voice has two different names even when the same voice is used.
If you play the songs with EL-900, the new user voices will not be read. You need to be aware what type of Electones you are using to make registration sequences.
The VA voices can also be read as well as the normal voices, but they may not sound since they take much time to be read in the Electone.
7 Convenient Disk Copy Function

Disk Copy 2

The functions are almost the same as the ones on the EL-900. Additional operation method is added to the Disk Copy function. q Song Copy in the same disk (the same) q Song Copy between different disks (the same) q Disk Copy (new operation method is added) You can use the following operation procedure in Disk Copy function.
