About This Manual

(Read this rst!) This manual is made up of two sections, Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 covers basic information about playing the Electone, including the proper playing posture, and selecting Voices and Rhythms. Part 2 focuses on more advanced topics, including reading music scores, and detailed instructions on actually performing with two separate scores. After learning about the basic Electone functions in Part 1, try performing with the two scores in Part 2. The rst score is very easy to play, even if you have little or no previous keyboard experience. The second, on the other hand, is more difcultso if youre a beginner you may want to start out with the rst song. When you need more specic instructions or want to explore a feature or function in greater detail, refer to the separate Owners Manual. In addition, the Owners Manual contains basic information such as the Panel Layout and Quick Introductory Guide (pages 9 20)helpful sections you should read before working through this booklet. Dive in now, and lets start!

Using the Electone

Turning on the power

Sitting
Sit on the bench so that youre roughly at the center of the Electone.
This is the Upper Keyboard.
This is the Lower Keyboard.

(center E)

Position yourself so that your belly button is roughly in line with the central E key on the Lower keyboard.

The posture

Put your hands on the keyboards. Put your left foot on the Pedalboard, and your right foot on the Expression Pedaland sit up straight.

Both hands

Put your right hand on the Upper Keyboard, and your left on the Lower Keyboard. Again, sit up straight, but dont be too tight. Relax, youre going to have fun!

Right foot

Put your right foot on the Expression pedal. Be careful to keep your original posture when you use the pedal, since moving the pedal with your foot may throw your body slightly off balance.

Expression pedal

Turn on the Electone by pressing the [POWER] switch.
Set the MASTER VOLUME control and press the Expression pedal down with your foot. The more you press down, the greater the volume.
Thats it! Now, youre ready to play the Electone.

Sounds

Try out any one of the keyboards! Keep in mind that the sounds made by each of the keyboards may be different. You can select the desired Voice for each of the keyboardsthe Upper Keyboard, Lower Keyboard and Pedalboard.
The secret behind the Upper Keyboard sounds
If you listen closely to the sound of the Upper Keyboard, you may notice that it sounds fatter and more richly textured than the sounds of the other keyboard. The reason is that the Upper Keyboard actually produces two different sounds: the Upper Keyboard Voice and the Lead Voice.
Think of the Lead Voice as a solo instrument, such as Trumpet or Flutein other words, an instrument that plays the solo or lead part in an orchestra. The Lead Voice sounds together in a layer with the Upper Keyboard Voice, thus enriching the overall sound.
Turn the Lead Voice volume to minimum and to listen only to the Upper Keyboard Voice.

Increases the volume

Decreases the volume
Try out the keys on the Upper Keyboard now and listen to the Upper Keyboard Voice by itself!
To begin with, select a Upper Keyboard Voice
Press the [STRINGS] button in the Upper Keyboard Voice 1/2 section.
Try playing some of the keys on the Upper Keyboard, and check out the Strings sound.
Take a look at the display on the panel
<STRINGS/VIOLIN> 01:Strings 1
You may not be able to notice it right away, but the [STRINGS] button actually has a variety of hidden Strings and Violin sounds in it. Since the Voice name Strings 1 is shown at the bottom of the display, you know that the Strings 1 Voice sounds when you play the keys on the Upper Keyboard.

Naturally, you can select any of the other Strings or Violin Voices hidden away in the [STRINGS] button. These hidden Voices can be displayed and selected by turning the DATA CONTROL dial.
For example, well call up the Voice 19: Viola here.
<STRINGS/VIOLIN> 19:Viola
Currently selected Voice is displayed here
Try out keys on the Upper Keyboard now and listen to the Viola sound.
Select the hidden Voices by turning the DATA CONTROL dial clockwise. When the last Voice is called up, the display doesnt change, even when you turn the DATA CONTROL dial clockwise. To go back and select Voices in reverse, turn the DATA CONTROL dial counter-clockwise.
Next, try playing a Piano Voice
Press the [PIANO] button and try playing the keys on the Upper Keyboard. Now, the Electone sounds just like a piano.
The [PIANO] button also has various hidden Piano sounds in it. Select the desired Piano Voice by using the DATA CONTROL dial.
There are various other Voice buttons in the Upper Keyboard Voice 1/2 sectionso try them out now and nd some of your favorite Voices!
If you want to know more about each Voice and its characteristics, take a look at the Voice List on page 34 in the Owners Manual. Keep in mind that you can select Voices for the Lower Keyboard and the Pedalboard, just as you did for the Upper Keyboard. For the Lower Keyboard, press the Voice button in the Lower Keyboard Voice 1/2 section. For the Pedalboard, press the Voice button in the Pedal Voice 1/2 section. If you want to select the Lead Voice for the Upper Keyboard, press the Voice button in the Lead Voice section.

Play the Rhythm

Your Electone is also a rhythm expert, and there are various Rhythm buttons on the panel. Lets play one of the Rhythm patterns now. Press the [POPS] button.
Press the [START] button to start the Rhythm!
Hidden in the [POPS] button are many different Pop music rhythms. You can select the desired Pops rhythm by using the DATA CONTROL dial.
Want to slow down the rhythm, or speed it up? You can adjust the Rhythm tempo with the TEMPO buttons. Pressing the [] button increases the tempo, while pressing the [] button decrease it.

Play the Voice and Rhythm at the same time
Thanks to the Registration Menu buttons, you can call up both Voices and a Rhythm at the same timewith one simple button press. Here, well select a March Registration with one of the Registration Menu buttons. Press the [1] button in the Registration Menu button section.
Select the Registration 09: Symphonic March 1 at the bottom of the display by using the DATA CONTROL dial.

<KIDS> 09:Symphn.March 1
Press the [SYNCHRO START] button.
Play a C chord with your left hand on the Lower Keyboardand the rhythm playback starts immediately!
Did you know that you can add your own bass notes sounds to the rhythm playback? Play the C pedal in rhythm on the rst and third beats with your left foot on the Pedalboard while holding down the C chord with your left hand on the Lower Keyboard. Can you hear the bass sounds? Now, play the melody written below with your right hand on the Upper Keyboard, while playing the Lower Keyboard and Pedalboard. Notice how the sounds of the Lower and Upper Keyboards match the overall feel of the March rhythm. Its a simple phrase, but try playing spiritedly with feeling along with the rhythm.
A Registration is combination of panel settings that can be called up together including Upper Keyboard Voices, Lower Keyboard Voices, Pedal Voices, a rhythm and so on.
There are many different Registrationstry them out!

Other fun features

The Electone Voices can also be enhanced with effects, such as Reverb, Phaser and so on. Whats more, you can play specic Keyboard Percussion soundssuch as snare drum, toms and congasassigned to the individual keys of the Upper and Lower Keyboards. Plug in your own USB ash memory device, then record your Electone performance and save it to the USB device. For details, see Recording on page 117 in the Owners Manual.

After playing

After youre nished playing, make sure to turn off the Electone by pressing the [POWER] switch. Close the protective cover of the Electone to keep the instrument free from dust and other possible damage.

Playing the Scores

In Part1, you learned how to start playing your Electone. Now in Part 2, you can actually perform on the instrument using the scores. First, well show you how to play the specic keys for the notes written in the score, and tell you a little bit more about how to read the scores. Two scores are given here: When the Saints Go Marching In and Jupiter. The rst selection is very easy to play, even if you have never touched an electronic keyboard in your life, but the second one requires a bit more skill. Both scores need Registration settings. Before performing, see Selecting the Registration for performing from the Registration Menu and store the appropriate Registrations to the numbered buttons on the panel.

To help you play the notes in the scores, weve shown here what keys youll need to play on each keyboard to match the notes in the score. The actual notes produced will depend on the selected Voices. Right hand

<R&B> 06:Modern R&B
This step assigns Modern R&B to the User button [1]. You can call up the Modern R&B the next time you press the [1] button.

To call up a User rhythm

User rhythms created on other Electones that have Rhythm Pattern Programming functions, such as the ELS-01/01C/01X, can be selected and played from the User buttons in the panel Rhythm section. To call up the User rhythm, load back the registration containing the User rhythm to Electone in advance. For details on loading back the Registration, see Playing Back a Song on page 132. This procedure assigns the User rhythms to the User numbers 1 48.
Use the PAGE buttons to select Page 11 (User Page).

3 Initializing Registration Memory
If you want to restore the original factory-programmed Registration Memory presets, you can initialize the Electone settings. Keep in mind that this deletes any of your custom Registration Memory and LCD Display settings. Always save your important data to external media, such as USB ash memory. When turning the power on after initializing the Electone, the preset settings will be recalled and your own Registration setting(s) will be erased and replaced with the factory defaults. For details on how to initialize the Electone, refer to Factory Set (Initializing the Electone) on page 20.
Saving the Registration data to USB ash memory

To protect your data (write-protect switch):
Some USB ash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental erasure of important data saved in USB ash memory, slide the write-protect switch on the device to the protect position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the overwrite position.
By installing the optional UD-FD01 oppy disk drive to the ELB-01, you can play songs stored to oppy disks. For information on how to install the UD-FD01, see page 167. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot save special Protected Original Songs or the Protected Edit Songs to oppy disks. For details about these protected songs, see page 139.

Reference Page What is MIDI (page 157) NOTE

MIDI OUT

Tone generator

MIDI IN

When you are using the M.D.R., MIDI data cannot be transmitted.

MIDI cable MIDI messages

MIDI terminals are automatically disabled when the USB TO HOST terminal is used.
Controlling the Electone from an External Device
You can use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to remotely play the sounds of your Electone and change its Registrations. (You will need to set the MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard to match the xed receive channels on your Electone.)
MIDI keyboard or synthesizer
MUSIC PRODUCTION SYNTHESIZER
NOTE When you are using the M.D.R., MIDI data cannot be received.
Connecting USB storage devices
Using the USB TO DEVICE terminal(s), you can connect USB storage devices (such as the USB ash memory) for saving your Electone data.

Compatible USB devices

You can connect up to two USB storage devices (such as a USB ash memory device, oppy disk, Card-R/RW drive, hard disk and other drives) to the USB TO DEVICE terminal(s). Before purchasing a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor for advice.
Reference Pages Installing the Floppy Disk Drive (page 167) Formatting External Media (page 109)
Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminals
Never turn the USB devices power on/off and never plug/unplug the USB cable when the connected USB storage device is of the self-powered type. Doing so may result in the operation of the Electone freezing or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as Save, Load, and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. Be careful not to turn the write-protect switch on or off while the USB device is still connected to the terminal. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the M.D.R. operation since the on/off status may not be recognized correctly.
NOTE If necessary, use a USB hub. Only self-powered (battery or external power supply) types can be used. USB hubs of up to two levels can be used.
3 Connection with Computer
By using the USB TO HOST terminal or MIDI IN/OUT terminals, you can connect your Electone to a computer and receive/transmit MIDI data (for more information about MIDI, see page 157).
Before you can actually transfer data between the Electone and a computer via the USB connection, you will need to install an appropriate MIDI driver. Download the latest MIDI driver software from the Yamaha web site at http://music.yamaha.com/download/.
NOTE When you are using the M.D.R., MIDI data cannot be transferred to/from the computer.
Connecting your Electone to a computer opens up a whole new world of musical possibilities. You can save your original songs to computer and create notation (score writing application or sequencing software is needed), and even upload your original Electone song data to your own website, to promote your talents or share songs with your friends. You can also control the Electone from the computer, for example, by playing a MIDI le on the computer to play back the sounds of your Electone.

Using the USB terminal

Using the Electones USB TO HOST terminal and a standard USB cable, connect the Electone and the computer.

Computer

USB TO HOST

USB cable

MIDI terminals are automatically disabled when the USB TO HOST terminal is used. Precautions when using the USB TO HOST terminals
When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so may result in freezing of the computer, corrupting data, and even losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off or restart the computer. Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, exit from any power-saving mode (such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer. Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal. Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST terminal. Quit any open applications. Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a Song.) While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: When turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
Using the MIDI IN/OUT terminals
By using an optional MIDI interface such as the UX16, you can connect the Electone to the computer, with the MIDI IN/OUT terminals on the instrument. Connect the Electone and the MIDI Interface with two standard MIDI cables (one connecting the OUT terminal on the Electone to the MIDI IN terminal on the interface, and the other connecting the IN terminal on the Electone to the MIDI OUT terminal on the interface). Connect the MIDI interface to the computer with a USB cable.
NOTE Depending on your particular MIDI interface, you may have to connect the MIDI Interface and the computer with a serial cable.
