PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust

which may have accumulated on it.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• 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.

Do not open

• 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.

Water warning

•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.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

• 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.

CAUTION

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:

Power supply/Power cord

• 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.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical

storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or

possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

Assembly

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the

assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the

proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even

injury.

(1)B-7 2/2

Location

• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo

equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the

instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/

one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air

circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

Connections

• 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.

Maintenance

•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use

paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated

wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps

on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power

immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then

have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service

personnel.

• 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.

•Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent

hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the

ears, consult a physician.

Using the bench (If included)

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a

tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in

accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to

prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use,

tighten them periodically using the included tool.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• All panel settings and Registration Memories are lost when you

turn off the power to the instrument. If you want to keep the

settings, save the data to a floppy disk (see page 67).

Backing up the floppy disk

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we

recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy

disks.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard that ensures that any GM-compatible

music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker.

The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard.

XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha that significantly improves and expands upon the General MIDI

standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality voices plus considerably enhanced effect operation – while

being fully compatible with GM.

voice groups, Upper Keyboard Voice 2, Lower Keyboard Voice 2, Pedal Voice 2.

These three voice groups are displayed on page 2 of the Voice Display screen.

This fact indicates the EL-100 owns the same voice group numbers as those of

the upper models like EL-500. Accordingly, the EL-100 can play back the

registrations created with the upper models like EL-500. You can change the

settings of each “hidden” voice group as you do with the panel voice groups.

About TO LOWER - Playing (Upper) Lead Voice and Pedal Voice from the Lower keyboard:

When the TO LOWER button is turned on,

the Lead voices and Pedal voices cannot

be played on the Upper keyboard and

Pedalboard, respectively.

3 Selecting Voices from the

Dotted Buttons

The EL-100 has a wide variety of voices from which you can choose – far

greater than what is immediately apparent from the front panel controls.

You’ve already learned in the section above how to select the different

voices that are available in the Voice Menu display of each panel voice.

The Electone also has dotted buttons in each voice section, giving you access to

even more voices. These dotted buttons function as ‘wild card’ Voice Menu

selectors; any internal voices can be selected from these buttons.

The dotted buttons have two basic uses:

● For playing any voice of the Voice Menus from any of the keyboards or

Pedalboard. You can play on the Upper keyboard, for example, voices

from the twenty-two Voice Menu pages (including User), and not be

limited to only the twelve buttons (equivalent to twelve Voice Menu

pages) that make up the Upper Voice section. Another advantage to this

feature is that when the normally monophonic (one note) Lead and

Pedal voices are assigned to the Upper or Lower keyboard Voice

sections, they can be played polyphonically.

● For having three different voices from the same Voice Menu page

available for selection in the same song. For example, you can

assign one of the voices to a dotted button in the Upper Keyboard

Voice section, the second voice to the other dotted button in the

same section, and the third one on the Voice Menu.

Turning the Electone off erases all panel settings you have made. When the Electone is turned on, Basic Registration 1 is automatically selected.

If you have made panel settings you wish to keep, save them to the floppy disk before turning the Electone off. See page 68 for more information.

The Electone has a special ‘To Lower’ function that lets you assign Lead or

Bass voices to the Lower keyboard. Simply press the TO LOWER button

on the voice section you wish to assign, and that voice will be playable

from the Lower keyboard.

About User voices:

voices created with the upper models like EL-900, the automatic conversion

function allows your EL-100 play back the voices fairly close to the original

sounds. However, some voices may not be reproduced properly.

Slide applies a portamento effect to notes played in legato. For example, if you

play one note, then play another before completely releasing the first note, the

pitch of the first note will ‘slide’ up or down to the second note. The Slide

function is effective within a one-octave range.

many violins playing together.

SYMPHONIC simulates the effect of a large ensemble, while CELESTE creates

the effect of a gradually expanding sound.

3 Selecting from the Panel

Reverb, Sustain and Tremolo/Chorus pages are called up by pressing the

respective panel buttons.

1 Reverb

Reverb adds an echo-like effect to the sound, giving the impression of a

performance in a large room or concert hall. Reverb effect can be applied to the

entire system or to each voice section (page 31) independently. Also, Reverb

can be applied to the rhythm and accompaniment independently.

Press one of the REVERB buttons, located to the left of the panel, to set the

Reverb effect. The following display appears.

voices.

NOTE:

Remember that the SUSTAIN buttons are

on/off switches. If you use them to simply

check the sustain length values, you may

unintentionally change the on/off status of

the effect. Remember to check whether the

sustain button lamps are on or off before

you start to play.

Voice Controls and Effects

3 Tremolo/Chorus

Tremolo recreates the rich, swirling sound of the popular rotating speaker effect.

Just as with a conventional rotating speaker, you can switch between slow and

fast speeds. And like a motor-driven speaker, the characteristic tremolo effect

gradually changes speed after it is switched. You can also adjust the maximum

speed of the effect to suit your playing style. The Tremolo effect can be

switched in real time as you play with either the front panel button or the Left

Footswitch (when properly set for Footswitch operation).

■ Tremolo Operation

Select (turn on) Tremolo effect in each Voice Condition

page 3.

Adjust the Tremolo setting in Tremolo

Control (or Effect Set) page.

Assign footswitch for Tremolo Control, if desired.

effect (SLOW) or STOP. Use the SLOW setting when you want to have a

constant rotating speaker sound.

3) Realtime control of Tremolo effect

Once the Tremolo effect has been turned on and set, you can control the effect

in real time from the panel or from the Left Footswitch (page 97). Simply press

the TREMOLO (FAST) button in the DISPLAY SELECT section to turn the

Tremolo effects on and off while you’re playing. This button functions just like

the fast/slow switch on an actual rotating speaker cabinet. When Tremolo is on,

the rotation effect is fast; when off (Chorus), it is slow. The speed change is

gradual, effectively simulating the slowing down and speeding up of a rotating

speaker. You can also use the Left Footswitch to control the Tremolo effect in

the same way, if the Footswitch has been properly assigned.

Rhythm and Accompaniment

NOTE:

The chord/bass patterns matching with the

designated rhythm will be selected

automatically when the A.B.C. function is

4 Rhythm and Accompaniment

The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to automatically play

various rhythms. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with the rhythms, providing appropriate and

completely automatic accompaniment to match the style of the selected rhythm. Moreover, the Electone has a

Keyboard Percussion feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard

and Pedalboard.

You can use one of three buttons to turn on the rhythm:

2 SYNCHRO START

This button puts the rhythm in ‘stand-by’ status. The rhythm will

start when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard.

3 INTRO. ENDING

Pressing this button automatically adds a short introduction (of up to

eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm.

First, press the INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or

SYNCHRO START button to actually start the rhythm.

While the introduction is playing, the display shows the countdown

to the first measure of the pattern. For example, if there is an eight-

measure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time, the following display

appears.

Pressing the INTRO. ENDING button again while the pattern is

being played will automatically add an ending phrase before

stopping the rhythm.

BAR/ BEAT

NOTE:

The Left Footswitch can also be used to

turn the rhythm on and off in the middle of

song. To assign the Footswitch for rhythm

control, see page 98.

NOTE:

ABOUT SYNCHRO START:

Synchro Start functions quite differently

when the Auto Bass Chord feature is

turned on and the Accompaniment

Memory is turned off. The rhythm starts

when a key on the Lower keyboard is

played, but then immediately stops when

the key is released. To keep this from

happening, turn the Memory function on.

(Refer to the Auto Bass Chord section,

page 52, for details on Auto Bass Chord

and Memory.)

LEAD IN

Pressing the START button while holding down the INTRO. ENDING

button automatically plays a special one-measure Lead In, with a click on

each beat, to cue you in to the beginning of the song.

Set the volume using the panel rhythm volume button.

The controls have seven volume settings, from a minimum of 0, or no

sound, to a maximum of full volume. Fine adjustments in the volume of

the rhythm can also be made from the Rhythm Condition page (page 48).

PATTERNS:

You can also start Fill In patterns within a

bar, in order to play only the final one or

two beats of the Fill In pattern and create

additional rhythmic interest. Since the Fill

the Fill In pattern to begin.

2 Rhythm Condition Pages

The Rhythm Condition includes the following two pages: the Rhythm

rhythms and is playable using the Keyboard Percussion function.

To select the Rhythm Condition page:

Choose a rhythm, and press that pattern’s panel button again (or again press the

Data Control button corresponding to the selected rhythm). (The button should

Music Disk Recorder

6 Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.)

The Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.) lets you store the registration data and load back to the Electone as well as

record your performance and play back the data. Moreover, the M.D.R. allows you to execute song copy

operation and play back commercially available XG song data.

1 Precautions on M.D.R.

Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

■ To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing

upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,

towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the

slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into

place and the eject button pops out.

Floppy disk slot

LED (Lamp in-use) Eject button

NOTE:

When the EL-100 is turned on, the LED below the floppy disk

slot will be lit indicating that the M.D.R. is ready to use.

To eject a floppy disk:

Be sure to confirm that the lamp of STOP

button on M.D.R. is turned off before ejecting a

floppy disk from the slot. Never eject the

floppy disk before the STOP lamp lights up.

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go;

the disk will automatically pop out. When the

disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by

hand.

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the

power off during recording, reading and

playing back. Doing so can damage the disk

and possibly the disk drive.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it

is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk

may not eject properly. The eject button may

become stuck in a half-pressed position with the

disk extending from the drive slot by only a few

millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to

pull out the partially ejected disk, since using

force in this situation can damage the disk drive

mechanism or the floppy disk.

To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing

the eject button once again, or push the disk

back into the slot and then repeat the eject

procedure.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the

disk drive before turning off the power. A

floppy disk left in the drive for extended

periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that

can cause data read and write errors.

Music Disk Recorder

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

● This instrument employs a precision read/write

magnetic head. The magnetic head will pick up a

layer of magnetic particles from the disks for an

extended period of time. The stained magnetic head

will eventually cause read and write errors.

● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working

order Yamaha recommends that you use a commer-

cially available dry-type head-cleaning disk to clean

the head about once a month.

NOTE:

Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-

cleaning disk.

About the Floppy Disks

■ To handle floppy disks with care:

Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or

apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always

keep floppy disks in their protective cases when

they are not in use.

Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight,

extremely high or low temperatures, or exces-

sive humidity, dust or liquids.

Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the

exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.

Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such

as those produced by televisions, speakers,

motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially

or completely erase data on the disk, rendering

it unreadable.

Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter

or housing.

Do not attach anything other than the provided

labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that

labels are attached in the proper location.

■ To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide

the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position

(tab open).If you attempt to modify the disk when

the write-protect tab is set to “on” position, “Prot

(Protected)” will appear on the LED display in the

M.D.R. section indicating that the operation is not

possible.

Also please check if the write-protect tab is set to

“off” position when you record data.

Protect Off

(tab closed: unlocked)

Protect On

(tab open: locked)

Rear side

Shutter

Write-protect tab

■ Data backup

Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of

important data on separate floppy disks by using this

function. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy

function on page 92.

Improved Potentiality of the M.D.R.

The M.D.R. of the EL-100 begins reading all data

as soon as you insert a disk into the floppy disk slot.

Thus, inserting a disk causes to produce a sound

(reading sound) indicating that the M.D.R. is in the

reading process.

The improvement of the M.D.R. allows you to start

song playback immediately, to be free from the

reading sound during playback and to record the

song playback using the several song numbers with

the Next Song function.

NOTE:

Ejecting the disk will lose the data loaded from the disk except

for the currently selected and played back song.

NOTE:

The time reading sound is produced is in proportion to the

amount of data recorded in the disk. You can eject the disk

whenever you are not using the M.D.R. and don’t want to be

bothered with the reading sound.

2 Formatting a Disk

Before recording, the disk must first be formatted.

Put the disk, label facing up, into the disk drive (floppy disk slot).

“Fort” will appear on the LED display indicating that the

inserted disk requires to be formatted.

While holding down the SHIFT button, press the FORMAT

button.

This step puts the format operation on stand-by, indicated by the

dashes on the LED display and the flashing LED (lamp) above

the FORMAT button.

Press the FORMAT button again to begin formatting.

Formatting is engaged and the LED above the FORMAT button

stays lit.

The number “160” appears on the LED display and counts down

to “001” as the disk is being formatted. When formatting is

completed, operation returns to the original STOP status.

The following Song Name display appears after the operation.

<SONG NAME> ⁄

01:

The song number can be selected using SONG SELECT button

or the Data Control buttons on the bottom row. Up to 10 song

numbers can be selectable in a single page. The page numbers,

from 1 through 4, are also shown at the top right side of the

display. A total of 40 song locations are created. The song

names next to each song number are left blank and indicate that

each song number doesn’t contain any data.

Formatting a disk erases all the data in the disk and

makes it ready to record. The erased data by

formatting will be lost permanently. Check if the

disk contains your important data, or not, before

executing the operation.

About SHIFT Button

You will find the SHIFT button (printed in green) at the top right

side of the M.D.R. section. Some buttons in the M.D.R. section have

dual functions: the first function is printed in white above each

button; the second function is printed in green below each button.

The SHIFT button is used to select the second functions by pressing

each function button while holding down the SHIFT.

Indicates the M.D.R. is in the stop process.

Music Disk Recorder

Outline of M.D.R. Operation

Though the M.D.R. is as easy to operate as a cassette tape recorder, it is far move versatile. Since it records all

Electone settings and control movements as well as the notes you play as digital data, it allows you much more

flexibility and control than even the most sophisticated tape recorder. Basically, the M.D.R. independently

records the following three types of data:

Registration data (including Bulk data)

All registrations stored to the Registration Memory numbered buttons as well as the registration currently set to

the panel, are recorded at the beginning of a song, before the actual recording of your performance. Bulk data is

also saved to the song with the Registration data. Bulk data includes: Registration Shift settings, and Rhythm

Pattern (User rhythms) and Rhythm Sequence data.

Performance data

The M.D.R. records your performance on the keyboards and pedalboard of the Electone exactly as you play it,

even recording the strength at which you play the keys and how hard you press them down while playing. The

various types of performance data – Upper, Lower, Pedal and Lead – are recorded to independent “tracks,” so that

you can change any one of them without affecting the others.

Control data

All changes you make on the Electone during your performance are recorded in real time. These include

registration changes, the use of the expression pedals and footswitches.

2) To record each part separately:

You can also record the parts of your performance independently; for

example, first recording the chords and bass to the song (using the Lower

and Pedalboard), and after that recording the melody (using the Upper

Keyboard). This function also lets you record the lead voice, keyboard

percussion and performance control data, such as registration changes

and expression pedal operation, separately from the other parts of the

song.

Set up the M.D.R. for recording, as you did in the section above.

The first steps in recording parts separately are the same as for

normal recording on page 76:

1. Memorize all the registrations needed for your performance

to the Registration Memory numbered buttons, and set the

registration that will be used at the beginning of the song.

2. Insert a formatted disk.

3. Select the song number to which you will record your

performance.

4. Press the RECORD button to make the Music Disk Recorder

ready to record.

Select the parts for recording.

Pressing the RECORD in the procedure 1-4. above turns on the

all parts’ LEDs in the upper left row indicating that each part is

ready to record.

Press the RECORD buttons for each part in the upper left row to

turn off the parts you don’t want to record. For this example,

press RECORD/UPPER, the PLAY/UPPER lamp in the upper

right row lights up.

■ RECORD/UPPER

Records the performance data of the Upper keyboard when

turned on. Recording is cancelled when turned off.

■ RECORD/LOWER

Records the performance data of the Lower keyboard when

turned on. Recording is cancelled when turned off.

■ RECORD/PEDAL

Records the performance data of the Pedalboard when turned

on. Recording is cancelled when turned off.

■ RECORD/CONTROL

Records the control data when turned on. Recording is

cancelled when turned off.

(See Outline of M.D.R. Operation on the previous page.)

This example operation disables recording of the Upper part.

Press the PLAY button to record the registrations, then press the

STOP button as soon as you see the small bars flash across the

LED display from left to right.

This is the same procedure as the one when you start recording.

The small bars that flash across the display indicate that the

M.D.R. is recording the registrations and being set up for normal

recording; pressing the STOP button interrupts this process.

Music Disk Recorder

5 Recalling Recorded

Registrations (and Bulk Data)

The registrations (and bulk data) recorded to song numbers in the

above operation can be loaded back to the Electone by simply

selecting the appropriate song number and pressing the PLAY

button. When the operation has been completed, the M.D.R. returns

to STOP status.

Insert the disk and select the song number you want to load back

to the Eelectone.

Press the PLAY button.

Using More Than 8 Registrations

The M.D.R. makes it possible to use more than 8 registrations (8

Registration Memory locations) in a performance, — without having

to alter the current panel settings. A disk can accommodate 40 song

numbers and each song number can contain 8 registrations.

To play a performance using more than 16 different

registrations:

1. First record the registrations you need into several song numbers

on the M.D.R. before the performance. (You should also try to

record them in the order that you’ll use them, if possible.)

2. During the performance, after all 8 registrations from a certain

song number have been used, select the next song number and

press the PLAY button on the M.D.R. This replaces all 8

registrations in Registration Memory with the new ones from the

selected song number.

3. By repeating the above steps, you can run through an entire

performance without having to change the panel settings.

NOTE:

Selecting the Next Song in the User Registration

Shift settings makes it possible to have the M.D.R.

automatically read the 8 registrations in the next

song number. See page 71 for more information.

6 Replacing Registrations

The M.D.R. also lets you change the registrations of an existing song

without changing the performance data. The procedure is the same

as that of Recording Registrations mentioned in the previous page.

XG Easy Converter

This function allows you to convert the EL-100 song data to the XG

format data. You can then play back the data using XG devices and/

or personal computer. Depending on the type of XG devices, sound

may be different from the original data you created.

The contents to be converted:

Voice (Program) number, Volume, Feet (octave settings), Pan, Vibrato, Slide (for the

Lead voices), Initial Touch, Effects (Tremolo and Delay), Reverb (except for

Length), Sustain, Rhythm Patterns (except for Accompaniment), Expression,

Registration, Registration Shift (except for Next Song)

To convert the EL-100 data to the XG song data:

1. Insert the disk containing the Electone data into the floppy disk

slot.

NOTE:

Confirm that the disk should contain enough

amount of available memory before the

conversion.

2. Select the song to be converted to the XG data.

3. While holding down the top right Data Control buttons press the

RECORD button in the M.D.R. section.

The following message appears to confirm the operation.

NOTE:

If you hold down the SHIFT and press CUSTOM

PLAY or if you execute the following Read and

Auto Increment function, all data, except for that of

Rhythm Pattern Program, Rhythm Sequence and

Keyboard Percussion assignment, will be loaded

and played back. It is handy when you want to call

up the registrations only.

2) Read and Auto Increment

Another method for calling up only registration data, besides that

mentioned in the NOTE above.

Pressing the UPPER button in the RECORD section while M.D.R. is in

the stop status calls up the registration data and automatically selects the

next song number.

This method is more convenient than the one mentioned above since the

M.D.R. automatically selects the next song number.

NOTE:

This function is not possible if the next song

contains no registration data.

3) Pause

If you want to temporarily stop playback of the song or songs, press the

PAUSE button.

To resume playback from the point at which the song was paused, press

the PAUSE button again.

4) Fast Forward and Fast Reverse

During playback, these buttons function as fast forward and fast reverse

buttons, much like those of a tape recorder.

Press SONG SELECT H button to advance to a later point in the song

or press SONG SELECT G button to return to an earlier position.

While either of these buttons is held down, playback stops and the song

time is advanced or reversed accordingly.

Even when the button is released, playback is paused. To resume

playback from the point you’ve advanced or reversed to, press the PLAY

button.

NOTE:

It may take some time to search the point at which

you want to resume playback when you return to an

earlier position using the fast reverse function.

NOTE:

Fast Forward and Fast Reverse operate at five

times the normal playback speed.

8 Other Functions

1) Custom Play

If you want to play back the song without resetting the registrations and

other data, press the CUSTOM PLAY button.

This displays the song time and starts playback immediately.

5) Changing the Tempo

You can change the tempo of the song as the song is playing back.

While holding down the SHIFT button, press the TEMPO + or TEMPO -

button.

Each press of the button slows down or speeds up the tempo by a small

amount (not affecting the pitch).

Pressing TEMPO + causes the song faster and TEMPO – slower.

(The Tempo button on the Electone panel cannot be used to change the

tempo on the Music Disk Recorder.)

To restore the original recording tempo of a song, hold down the SHIFT

button and simultaneously press both TEMPO buttons.

Indicates faster tempo

Indicates original tempo

Indicates slower tempo

NOTE:

When tempo is changed, the LED display indicates

the change as a percentage of the original recorded

tempo (100). Values less than 100 indicate a

slower tempo; values greater than 100 indicate a

faster tempo.

NOTE:

Tempo change remains in effect even when you

change songs. If you have changed the tempo in

one song, you should perform above step to restore

the original tempo before playing another song.

Turning the power switch off and on again also

restores the original tempo.

down the SHIFT button, press the SONG COPY TO button.

The M.D.R. automatically searches for an empty song number to

copy the data to, and displays that number at the right side of the

display. The RECORD lamp will start flashing indicating that

the M.D.R. is ready to copy. If all songs numbers contain

recorded data, “FULL” appears on the LED display. In this

case, you should erase one of the songs on the disk by using the

Song Delete function (page 92).

The message “FULL” may appear when the

available memory is short.

NOTE:

If you want to abort the operation, press STOP

button.

Use the SONG SELECT buttons to select a destination song

number for copying. Follow this step if you wish to select a

different destination song number than the one displayed.

The M.D.R. will display only those song numbers that have no

data.

Press the RECORD button to execute the Song Copy function.

The RECORD lamp stops flashing and remains lit, indicating

that the Song Copy function is in process. The LED display

shows the “size” of the song in numbers, and counts down as the

data is being copied. When the display shows “000,” the song

has been completely copied.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a kind of communication system for electronic musical

instruments. It is built into most every modern digital musical instrument and allows different instruments to

“talk” to each other and control each other’s functions. For example, the Upper keyboard of your Electone

could be used to play sounds on a connected synthesizer. In another application, a rhythm machine can be

programmed to play its rhythms in perfect synchronization with the tempo set on the Electone.

To use the MIDI functions you must, of course, have a second MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or rhythm

machine), and a set of MIDI cables. For more information see page 105.

To select the MIDI page:

MIDI

On the right underside of the Electone keyboard you will find the MIDI IN/

OUT jacks and TO HOST terminal.

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,

which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each

other, by sending and receiving MIDI messages. If your Electone is

connected with external devices via these MIDI jacks (with a personal

computer via the TO HOST terminal) and appropriate MIDI settings are

done, you can play an external MIDI device such as synthesizer from your

Electone keyboard or your Electone can be played by an external device

such as sequencer (by a personal computer with a sequencing software

installed).

You need MIDI cable(s) when you exchange the data between Electone and

an external device. Or you need a serial cable when you connect Electone’s

TO HOST to the computer serial port instead of using MIDI cables.

Also, to exchange the data between your Electone and connected MIDI

device you have to match the MIDI transmit/receive channels on both

devices. Receive channels of Electone are fixed as mentioned on page 103.

Accordingly, you need to match the transmit channels on the external

device to the fixed receive channels of Electone when you want to control

Electone by the external device. See page 102 for the detailed information

about the MIDI channel settings.

NOTE:

See page 107 for the information on the

MIDI message types.

Setting examples

Using the TO HOST terminal

Using a separately available Serial Cable allows you to directly connect them

(between the TO HOST terminal of your Electone and the Serial Port of the

personal computer). In this case you need to select one of the HOST SELECT

switches to match the computer type you use.

No additional MIDI setting is necessary.

NOTE:

MIDI jacks will be inactive when the TO

HOST terminal is currently used.

Using an external MIDI keyboard or MIDI tone generator

● Playing your Electone can cause the MIDI keyboard (or tone generator) to

be played using its own voices, accomplishing thick sound layers. (The

MIDI receive channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the transmit

channels on your Electone.)

● Various messages including the values how far the expression pedal is

pressed down and how hard you play the Electone keyboard can be transmit-

ted as digital data. However, how the external device responds depends on

the external device you have connected.

● The performance on your Electone can be recorded onto your PC using an

appropriate sequencing software. (You need a sequencing software in this

case.)

2 Control the EL-100 using an external device

Using an external MIDI keyboard

● Playing the external MIDI keyboard can cause your Electone to be played

using Electone’s voices. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard

must match the (fixed) receive channels on your Electone. The channels 1, 2

and 3 for the Upper, Lower and pedal voices, respectively.)

● Also, Keyboard Percussion on your Electone can be played by playing the

external MIDI keyboard. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI key-

board must be channel 15)

● The MIDI data played back by the external PC (using a sequencing soft-

ware) can be played using Electone’s voices. You can use the Electone as

an XG tone generator for computer-based music production. See page 110

for the details to use the EL-100 as an XG tone generator.

NOTE:

You cannot use the M.D.R. and MIDI

function at one time since the M.D.R. is

also connected via MIDI internally.

107

Appendix

The MIDI Messages of the EL-100

The MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: the Channel Messages and

System Messages. The Channel Messages are the data related to the

performance on the keyboard for a specific channel. Each time you play the

keyboard on the EL-100, the channel messages, which keys are played and how

hard the keys are pressed, will be transmitted via a specific channel. The

System Messages are the data that allows several MIDI devices communicate

each other. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages

which the EL-100 can receive/transmit.

Channel Messages

Channel Messages are the data related to the performance on the keyboard for a

specific channel.

Key related messages

These are transmitted every time you play the keyboards on your Electone.

Reversely, the Electone can be played using these data from an external

keyboard.

Note On Indicates which keys are played with the note numbers 0

through 127. The note range is C-2 (0) – G8 (127), C3=60.

Velocity Indicates how hard the key is held. The range is 1 - 127.

Note Off Generated when a key is released.

NOTE:

For more detailed information see MIDI

Data Format on page 111 and MIDI

Implementation Chart on page 120.

Control Change

The Control Change Messages let you select a voice bank, control volume,

panning, modulation, portamento time, brightness and various other control

parameters, through specific Control Change numbers.

NOTE:

For more detailed information on the

Control Change messages available for the

EL-100 see MIDI Data Format on page

111 and MIDI Implementation Chart on

page 120.

NOTE:

For more detailed information see MIDI

Data Format on page 111 and MIDI

Implementation Chart on page 120.

Program Change

The Program Change messages allow you to change voices in the middle of a

song. With these messages you can change the registrations of the EL-100.

108

Appendix

System Messages

System Exclusive Messages

System Exclusive messages are used to exchange the system and voice/

registration data. These allow you to execute bulk dump operation, sending and

receiving all the data of the EL-100 including registrations to and from an

external device. This is especially useful for you to build up the library of the

registration data in a device like a hard disk.

Examples of Exchanging the Data

Use the following examples to send (or receive) the registration data to (or

from) a personal computer (a sequencing software).

First, you need to connect your EL-100 with a personal computer (a

sequencing software) using a Serial Cable or a MIDI cable (page 105).

NOTE:

You also need a sequencing software,

which has been properly installed in the

personal computer, and which can send

and receive system exclusive messages.

Send the Registration Data

from the EL-100 to the Personal Computer (PC)

Preparation (Setting up registrations)

Set the Strings voice on the Upper Keyboard of the EL-100.

Press STRINGS button on the Upper Keyboard Voice section, and

select String 1 from the Strings Menu.

Store the registration to the Registration Memory button 1.

While holding down the M. button Press the Registration Memory

button 1.

Sending the Registration Data

Send the Request-to-Send all RAM message, “F0, 43, 70, 70, 10, F7”

(Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100.

Once the EL-100 receives the Request-to-Send all RAM message, the

EL-100 automatically sends all registration data in the all registration

numbers to your PC.

You can store the registration data in a file on your PC.

NOTE:

Depending on the capacity of your

sequencing software, you may need to

divide the data into two and send them to

the PC separately. If you want to divide,

see page 114, “Data Code to Send” table.

For example,

by changing the message from

“F0,43,70,70,10,F7” (all data) to

“F0,43,70,70,17,F7,” the Electone will

send the Keyboard Percussion Assignment

data only.

109

Appendix

Send the Registration Data

from your PC to the EL-100 and

Change the Registration Memory Buttons

Send the data stored in the PC back to your Electone. Also, select a

Registration Memory button and then play the upper keyboard using PC.

Receiving the Registration Data

Send the Request-to-Receive all RAM message, “F0, 43, 70, 70, 20,

F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100.

Once the EL-100 receives the Request-to-Receive all RAM message, it

automatically receives all registration data and relocates them to the all

registration numbers.

Selecting the Registration Memory Buttons

Sending the Program Change messages from the PC to your EL-100 makes it

possible to change the registration on the Electone.

Send the Program Change message, “CF, 00” (Hexadecimal) to the EL-

100.

Once the Program Change message is received, the EL-100

automatically turns the Registration Memory button 1 on.

Sending the Note-On Messages

Send the Note-On message, “90, 30, 7F” (Hexadecimal) to the EL-100.

EL-100 receives the note-on message and plays C2 key on the Upper

keyboard. It plays String voice you have set in the previous step.

Send the Note-Off message, “90, 30, 00” to the Electone.

All the above operations can also be done with the M.D.R. easily and

efficiently. However, using the PC/ hard disk allows you to build up a

large data library a single disk cannot deal with.

110

Appendix

Use the EL-100 as an XG Tone Generator

You can also use the EL-100 as an XG tone generator since the EL-100 is

compatible with the XG format. You can play back the commercially available

XG song data with the Electone’s M.D.R., and also play them using an external

sequencer (or sequencing software) and the internal XG tone generator.

The internal tone generator section of the EL-100 is normally set to EL Mode

for playing as an “Electone.”

Sending an appropriate system exclusive message from the sequencing software

(PC) to the EL-100 changes the mode to XG Mode, in which you can use the

Electone as an XG tone generator.

NOTE:

The M.D.R. lets you play back the

commercially available XG song

data and convert the Electone song

data to XG data. For more

information on XG song playback

and data conversion functions, see

page 86, 87.

Send the XG System On message, “F0, 43, 1N*, 4C, 00, 00, 7E, 00,

F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100.

*N: Device Number (“0” for the EL-100)

Once the XG System On message is received, the internal tone

generator will be in the XG Mode allowing the EL-100 to receive all

the MIDI messages defined by the XG format such as NRPN and Bank

Select.

NOTE:

When you create an XG song data

using a sequencing software, be

sure to insert the XG System On

message at the beginning of the

data. The internal tone generator

mode automatically changes to

XG when you start to play back

the data.

NOTE:

The internal tone generator mode

automatically changes to XG

when you play back commercially

available XG song data.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

GENERAL OPERATION

A cracking noise is sometimes heard. Noise may be produced when either an electrical appliance is turned on or off,

or an electric power tool (such as drill) is used in the proximity of the Electone.

If this occurs, plug the Electone into an electrical outlet located as far as

possible from the device that seems to be the source of the problem.

Interference from radio, TV, or other sources occurs. This is caused by the proximity of a high-power broadcasting station, an

amateur ham radio setup or a mobile phone.

Electone generates some noise. A cell phone may be used in the proximity of Electone. Using a cell phone

beside the Electone may cause a noise. Turn off the power of the cell phone.

Radio or TV generates some noise. Locating a radio or TV close to the Electone causes to produce a noise from it.

Relocate it farther from the Electone.

The sound of the Electone causes surrounding Because the Electone is capable of producing powerful bass sounds, resonance

The pitch seems to be higher on the Pedalboard and You may feel it especially when playing piano voice. The temperament for the

lower on the Upper and Lower keyboards. acoustic piano is tuned by listening to the overtones since the overtone

configuration of the acoustic piano is so complicated that the actual notes in the

higher and lower registers are difficult to be adjusted. On the contrary, the

Electone voices including piano voice are tuned by actual notes. Thus, the

tuning method itself in the higher and lower registers is different.

Some voices seems to contain crack or distorted noise.

You may feel it mainly with wind instrument voices. These are purposely built

in effects, which can faithfully reproduce the characteristics of each instrument.

You can enjoy more realistic sounds such as brass vibration and breath noise.

PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING * Please keep this manual 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: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • 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. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Use only the supplied power cord/plug. • 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. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality Do not open • 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. • 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. CAUTION 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: Power supply/Power cord • 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. Assembly • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. 2 • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. (1)B-7 1/2 Location • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • 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. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/ one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. Using the bench (If included) Connections • 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. Maintenance • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Handling caution • Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. Saving data Saving and backing up your data • All panel settings and Registration Memories are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. If you want to keep the settings, save the data to a floppy disk (see page 67). • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. Backing up the floppy disk • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

See page 68 for more information. 3 Selecting Voices from the Dotted Buttons The EL-100 has a wide variety of voices from which you can choose – far greater than what is immediately apparent from the front panel controls. You’ve already learned in the section above how to select the different voices that are available in the Voice Menu display of each panel voice. The Electone also has dotted buttons in each voice section, giving you access to even more voices. These dotted buttons function as ‘wild card’ Voice Menu selectors; any internal voices can be selected from these buttons. UPPER KEYBOARD VOICE STRINGS BRASS CLARINET SAXOPHONE CHORUS HARMONICA ORGAN PIANO GUITAR VIBRAPHONE COSMIC TUTTI MAX MIN The dotted buttons have two basic uses: ● For playing any voice of the Voice Menus from any of the keyboards or Pedalboard. You can play on the Upper keyboard, for example, voices from the twenty-two Voice Menu pages (including User), and not be limited to only the twelve buttons (equivalent to twelve Voice Menu pages) that make up the Upper Voice section. Another advantage to this feature is that when the normally monophonic (one note) Lead and Pedal voices are assigned to the Upper or Lower keyboard Voice sections, they can be played polyphonically. ● For having three different voices from the same Voice Menu page available for selection in the same song. For example, you can assign one of the voices to a dotted button in the Upper Keyboard Voice section, the second voice to the other dotted button in the same section, and the third one on the Voice Menu. 21 To select voices from the dotted buttons: 1 Press one of the dotted buttons in any of the voice sections.

NOTE: Sustain cannot be applied to the Lead voices. Range: 0 - 12 NOTE: Remember that the SUSTAIN buttons are on/off switches. If you use them to simply check the sustain length values, you may unintentionally change the on/off status of the effect. Remember to check whether the sustain button lamps are on or off before you start to play. 41 3 Tremolo/Chorus Tremolo recreates the rich, swirling sound of the popular rotating speaker effect. Just as with a conventional rotating speaker, you can switch between slow and fast speeds. And like a motor-driven speaker, the characteristic tremolo effect gradually changes speed after it is switched. You can also adjust the maximum speed of the effect to suit your playing style. The Tremolo effect can be switched in real time as you play with either the front panel button or the Left Footswitch (when properly set for Footswitch operation). 3 ■ Tremolo Operation Voice Controls and Effects For Panel Voices (Voice Menu) 1 Select (turn on) Tremolo effect in each Voice Condition page 3. 2 Adjust the Tremolo setting in Tremolo Control (or Effect Set) page. 3 Assign footswitch for Tremolo Control, if desired.

Press the button again to turn Tremolo off and Chorus on (the LED turns off). 1 Tremolo Speed Determines the speed of the Tremolo (rapid rotation) effect. Range: 4.75Hz – 7.77Hz 2 Chorus Mode Determines the effect applied when Tremolo is switched off: a slow chorus effect (SLOW) or STOP. Use the SLOW setting when you want to have a constant rotating speaker sound. 3) Realtime control of Tremolo effect Once the Tremolo effect has been turned on and set, you can control the effect in real time from the panel or from the Left Footswitch (page 97). Simply press the TREMOLO (FAST) button in the DISPLAY SELECT section to turn the Tremolo effects on and off while you’re playing. This button functions just like the fast/slow switch on an actual rotating speaker cabinet. When Tremolo is on, the rotation effect is fast; when off (Chorus), it is slow. The speed change is gradual, effectively simulating the slowing down and speeding up of a rotating speaker. You can also use the Left Footswitch to control the Tremolo effect in the same way, if the Footswitch has been properly assigned. 44 4 Rhythm and Accompaniment The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to automatically play various rhythms. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with the rhythms, providing appropriate and completely automatic accompaniment to match the style of the selected rhythm. Moreover, the Electone has a Keyboard Percussion feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard and Pedalboard. 1 Selecting Rhythms from the Panel Ten different rhythm categories in various styles can be instantly selected from the front panel. The Electone has many more ‘hidden’ rhythms, however. A total of 66 rhythms are available, and can be selected by using the display. 4 1) To select and play a rhythm: Rhythm and Accompaniment 1 Press any of the RHYTHM buttons once.

ENDING SYNCHRO START START 3 2 1 FILL IN 1 START This button does as its name indicates; the rhythm begins as soon as the button is pressed. To stop the rhythm, press this button again. 2 SYNCHRO START This button puts the rhythm in ‘stand-by’ status. The rhythm will start when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. 4 Rhythm and Accompaniment 3 INTRO. ENDING Pressing this button automatically adds a short introduction (of up to eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm. First, press the INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or SYNCHRO START button to actually start the rhythm. While the introduction is playing, the display shows the countdown to the first measure of the pattern. For example, if there is an eightmeasure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time, the following display appears. Pressing the INTRO. ENDING button again while the pattern is being played will automatically add an ending phrase before stopping the rhythm. BAR / BEAT NOTE: The Left Footswitch can also be used to turn the rhythm on and off in the middle of song. To assign the Footswitch for rhythm control, see page 98. NOTE: ABOUT SYNCHRO START: Synchro Start functions quite differently when the Auto Bass Chord feature is turned on and the Accompaniment Memory is turned off. The rhythm starts when a key on the Lower keyboard is played, but then immediately stops when the key is released. To keep this from happening, turn the Memory function on. (Refer to the Auto Bass Chord section, page 52, for details on Auto Bass Chord and Memory.) LEAD IN Pressing the START button while holding down the INTRO. ENDING button automatically plays a special one-measure Lead In, with a click on each beat, to cue you in to the beginning of the song. 4 Set the volume using the panel rhythm volume button. The controls have seven volume settings, from a minimum of 0, or no sound, to a maximum of full volume. Fine adjustments in the volume of the rhythm can also be made from the Rhythm Condition page (page 48).

The beat indicator lamp below the TEMPO buttons also indicates the beats. (BAR/BEAT Indicator: shows the current position in the measures) 2) To use the Fill In patterns: Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks to spice up a repeating rhythm. Like the regular rhythms, all Fill In patterns have been designed to perfectly match the bass and chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment feature. 1 2 Select and play a rhythm. As you play the Electone along with the rhythm, occasionally press the FILL IN button. RHYTHM INTRO. ENDING SYNCHRO START START FILL IN NOTE: USING A FILL IN FOR THE START OF A SONG: Fill In patterns can also be used as introductions; simply press the FILL IN button before starting the rhythm with the START or SYNCHRO START buttons. NOTE: PLAYING PARTIAL FILL IN PATTERNS: You can also start Fill In patterns within a bar, in order to play only the final one or two beats of the Fill In pattern and create additional rhythmic interest. Since the Fill In feature is very sensitive to bar/beat boundaries, you should be very careful to ‘play’ the FILL IN button precisely on (or just slightly before) the beat that you want the Fill In pattern to begin. 47 2 Rhythm Condition Pages The Rhythm Condition includes the following two pages: the Rhythm Condition page used to adjust the rhythms and the Instrument page used to make up each drum/percussion instrument, each of which comprises the rhythms and is playable using the Keyboard Percussion function. To select the Rhythm Condition page: Choose a rhythm, and press that pattern’s panel button again (or again press the Data Control button corresponding to the selected rhythm).

DATA CONTROL DATA CONTROL ≥ ≥ 72 Data Full! ≥ ≥ 6 Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.) The Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.) lets you store the registration data and load back to the Electone as well as record your performance and play back the data. Moreover, the M.D.R. allows you to execute song copy operation and play back commercially available XG song data. 1 Precautions on M.D.R. Follow the important precautions below. To eject a floppy disk: Compatible Disk Type 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks ■ To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. 6 Music Disk Recorder If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. Floppy disk slot LED (Lamp in-use) Be sure to confirm that the lamp of STOP button on M.D.R. is turned off before ejecting a floppy disk from the slot. Never eject the floppy disk before the STOP lamp lights up. Eject button NOTE: When the EL-100 is turned on, the LED below the floppy disk slot will be lit indicating that the M.D.R. is ready to use. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors. 73 Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head ● This instrument employs a precision read/write magnetic head. The magnetic head will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks for an extended period of time. The stained magnetic head will eventually cause read and write errors. ● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially available dry-type head-cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. ■ To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).If you attempt to modify the disk when the write-protect tab is set to “on” position, “Prot (Protected)” will appear on the LED display in the M.D.R. section indicating that the operation is not possible. Also please check if the write-protect tab is set to “off” position when you record data. Protect Off (tab closed: unlocked) NOTE: Rear side Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disk. Shutter About the Floppy Disks ■ To handle floppy disks with care: Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. 6 Music Disk Recorder Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. Write-protect tab Protect On (tab open: locked) ■ Data backup Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks by using this function. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy function on page 92. Improved Potentiality of the M.D.R. The M.D.R. of the EL-100 begins reading all data as soon as you insert a disk into the floppy disk slot. Thus, inserting a disk causes to produce a sound (reading sound) indicating that the M.D.R. is in the reading process. The improvement of the M.D.R. allows you to start song playback immediately, to be free from the reading sound during playback and to record the song playback using the several song numbers with the Next Song function. NOTE: Ejecting the disk will lose the data loaded from the disk except for the currently selected and played back song. NOTE: The time reading sound is produced is in proportion to the amount of data recorded in the disk. You can eject the disk whenever you are not using the M.D.R. and don’t want to be bothered with the reading sound. 74 2 Formatting a Disk Before recording, the disk must first be formatted.

When formatting is completed, operation returns to the original STOP status. The following Song Name display appears after the operation. LOWER MUSIC DISK RECORDER ⁄ The song number can be selected using SONG SELECT button or the Data Control buttons on the bottom row. Up to 10 song numbers can be selectable in a single page. The page numbers, from 1 through 4, are also shown at the top right side of the display. A total of 40 song locations are created. The song names next to each song number are left blank and indicate that each song number doesn’t contain any data. Formatting a disk erases all the data in the disk and makes it ready to record. The erased data by formatting will be lost permanently. Check if the disk contains your important data, or not, before executing the operation. About SHIFT Button You will find the SHIFT button (printed in green) at the top right side of the M.D.R. section. Some buttons in the M.D.R. section have dual functions: the first function is printed in white above each button; the second function is printed in green below each button. The SHIFT button is used to select the second functions by pressing each function button while holding down the SHIFT. 75 3 Recording 1) To record a song: 1 Set the desired registrations on the Electone.

Operation Though the M.D.R. is as easy to operate as a cassette tape recorder, it is far move versatile. Since it records all Electone settings and control movements as well as the notes you play as digital data, it allows you much more flexibility and control than even the most sophisticated tape recorder. Basically, the M.D.R. independently records the following three types of data: Registration data (including Bulk data) All registrations stored to the Registration Memory numbered buttons as well as the registration currently set to the panel, are recorded at the beginning of a song, before the actual recording of your performance. Bulk data is also saved to the song with the Registration data. Bulk data includes: Registration Shift settings, and Rhythm Pattern (User rhythms) and Rhythm Sequence data. Performance data The M.D.R. records your performance on the keyboards and pedalboard of the Electone exactly as you play it, even recording the strength at which you play the keys and how hard you press them down while playing. The various types of performance data – Upper, Lower, Pedal and Lead – are recorded to independent “tracks,” so that you can change any one of them without affecting the others. Control data All changes you make on the Electone during your performance are recorded in real time. These include registration changes, the use of the expression pedals and footswitches. 6 Music Disk Recorder 78 2) To record each part separately: You can also record the parts of your performance independently; for example, first recording the chords and bass to the song (using the Lower and Pedalboard), and after that recording the melody (using the Upper Keyboard). This function also lets you record the lead voice, keyboard percussion and performance control data, such as registration changes and expression pedal operation, separately from the other parts of the song. 1 Set up the M.D.R. for recording, as you did in the section above. The first steps in recording parts separately are the same as for normal recording on page 76: 1. Memorize all the registrations needed for your performance to the Registration Memory numbered buttons, and set the registration that will be used at the beginning of the song. 2. Insert a formatted disk. 3. Select the song number to which you will record your performance. 4. Press the RECORD button to make the Music Disk Recorder ready to record.

Using More Than 8 Registrations The M.D.R. makes it possible to use more than 8 registrations (8 Registration Memory locations) in a performance, — without having to alter the current panel settings. A disk can accommodate 40 song numbers and each song number can contain 8 registrations. 6 Music Disk Recorder To play a performance using more than 16 different registrations: 1. First record the registrations you need into several song numbers on the M.D.R. before the performance. (You should also try to record them in the order that you’ll use them, if possible.) 2. During the performance, after all 8 registrations from a certain song number have been used, select the next song number and press the PLAY button on the M.D.R. This replaces all 8 registrations in Registration Memory with the new ones from the selected song number. 3. By repeating the above steps, you can run through an entire performance without having to change the panel settings. NOTE: Selecting the Next Song in the User Registration Shift settings makes it possible to have the M.D.R. automatically read the 8 registrations in the next song number. See page 71 for more information. 6 Replacing Registrations The M.D.R. also lets you change the registrations of an existing song without changing the performance data. The procedure is the same as that of Recording Registrations mentioned in the previous page. 83 7 Playback You can play back your recorded performance by simply pressing the PLAY button.

It is built into most every modern digital musical instrument and allows different instruments to “talk” to each other and control each other’s functions. For example, the Upper keyboard of your Electone could be used to play sounds on a connected synthesizer. In another application, a rhythm machine can be programmed to play its rhythms in perfect synchronization with the tempo set on the Electone. To use the MIDI functions you must, of course, have a second MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or rhythm machine), and a set of MIDI cables. For more information see page 105.

Lead Determines Internal or External control of the Lead Voices. When set to Internal, Lead Voices are played from the Electone and the sounds from a connected MIDI instrument can be played via MIDI channel 1 (or channel 2, when the To Lower function is on). When set to External, the Lead Voices can only be played from the connected instrument via MIDI channel 4. 1 -2 Sync. Determines the source of the timing control, for rhythm synchronization purposes. Setting this to Internal gives the Electone timing control over the connected rhythm machine. This also allows you to start and stop the rhythms of the connected rhythm machine from the Electone’s panel controls.

See page 100. 103 10 Accessory Jacks and Controls On the underside of the Electone keyboard is a separate panel equipped with various input/output terminals and miscellaneous controls, the functions of which are described below. 5 2 HOST SELECT TO HOST 4 PC-2 MIDI 1 HEADPHONES R AUX. L OUT PC-1 Mac MIDI OUT IN 3 1 AUX. OUT (RCA, L/R) This pair of RCA jacks is for connection to an external amplifier/speaker. 2 HEADPHONES (Phone) For connection of a stereo headphone set. When headphones are connected to this jack, sound to the Electone’s built-in speaker system is automatically cut off, allowing you to play without disturbing others. 3 MIDI IN/OUT For connecting external devices such as synthesizer and rhythm machine with MIDI cables. MIDI cables are required (page 106). 4 TO HOST This terminal can be connected to the serial port of a personal computer instead of using MIDI connection. 5 HOST SELECT When you have connected the Electone and the personal computer using the TO HOST terminal, you need to select the appropriate setting here depending on the computer used. (page 105) 10 Accessory Jacks and Controls 104 NOTE: See next page for the details of the connection using the TO HOST terminal. 11 Appendix MIDI On the right underside of the Electone keyboard you will find the MIDI IN/ OUT jacks and TO HOST terminal. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving MIDI messages. If your Electone is connected with external devices via these MIDI jacks (with a personal computer via the TO HOST terminal) and appropriate MIDI settings are done, you can play an external MIDI device such as synthesizer from your Electone keyboard or your Electone can be played by an external device such as sequencer (by a personal computer with a sequencing software installed). You need MIDI cable(s) when you exchange the data between Electone and an external device. Or you need a serial cable when you connect Electone’s TO HOST to the computer serial port instead of using MIDI cables. Also, to exchange the data between your Electone and connected MIDI device you have to match the MIDI transmit/receive channels on both devices. Receive channels of Electone are fixed as mentioned on page 103. Accordingly, you need to match the transmit channels on the external device to the fixed receive channels of Electone when you want to control Electone by the external device. See page 102 for the detailed information about the MIDI channel settings. NOTE: See page 107 for the information on the MIDI message types. Setting examples Using the TO HOST terminal Using a separately available Serial Cable allows you to directly connect them (between the TO HOST terminal of your Electone and the Serial Port of the personal computer). In this case you need to select one of the HOST SELECT switches to match the computer type you use. No additional MIDI setting is necessary. NOTE: MIDI jacks will be inactive when the TO HOST terminal is currently used.

(The MIDI receive channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the transmit channels on your Electone.) ● Various messages including the values how far the expression pedal is pressed down and how hard you play the Electone keyboard can be transmitted as digital data. However, how the external device responds depends on the external device you have connected. ● The performance on your Electone can be recorded onto your PC using an appropriate sequencing software. (You need a sequencing software in this case.) 2 Control the EL-100 using an external device Using an external MIDI keyboard ● Playing the external MIDI keyboard can cause your Electone to be played using Electone’s voices. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard must match the (fixed) receive channels on your Electone. The channels 1, 2 and 3 for the Upper, Lower and pedal voices, respectively.) ● Also, Keyboard Percussion on your Electone can be played by playing the external MIDI keyboard. (The MIDI transmit channels of the MIDI keyboard must be channel 15) 11 Appendix ● The MIDI data played back by the external PC (using a sequencing software) can be played using Electone’s voices. You can use the Electone as an XG tone generator for computer-based music production. See page 110 for the details to use the EL-100 as an XG tone generator. 106 NOTE: You cannot use the M.D.R. and MIDI function at one time since the M.D.R. is also connected via MIDI internally. The MIDI Messages of the EL-100 The MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: the Channel Messages and System Messages. The Channel Messages are the data related to the performance on the keyboard for a specific channel. Each time you play the keyboard on the EL-100, the channel messages, which keys are played and how hard the keys are pressed, will be transmitted via a specific channel. The System Messages are the data that allows several MIDI devices communicate each other. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the EL-100 can receive/transmit. Channel Messages Channel Messages are the data related to the performance on the keyboard for a specific channel. Key related messages These are transmitted every time you play the keyboards on your Electone. Reversely, the Electone can be played using these data from an external keyboard. Note On Indicates which keys are played with the note numbers 0 through 127. The note range is C-2 (0) – G8 (127), C3=60. Velocity Indicates how hard the key is held. The range is 1 - 127. Note Off Generated when a key is released. Program Change The Program Change messages allow you to change voices in the middle of a song. With these messages you can change the registrations of the EL-100. NOTE: For more detailed information see MIDI Data Format on page 111 and MIDI Implementation Chart on page 120. NOTE: For more detailed information see MIDI Data Format on page 111 and MIDI Implementation Chart on page 120. Control Change The Control Change Messages let you select a voice bank, control volume, panning, modulation, portamento time, brightness and various other control parameters, through specific Control Change numbers. NOTE: For more detailed information on the Control Change messages available for the EL-100 see MIDI Data Format on page 111 and MIDI Implementation Chart on page 120. 11 Appendix 107 System Messages System Exclusive Messages System Exclusive messages are used to exchange the system and voice/ registration data. These allow you to execute bulk dump operation, sending and receiving all the data of the EL-100 including registrations to and from an external device. This is especially useful for you to build up the library of the registration data in a device like a hard disk. Examples of Exchanging the Data Use the following examples to send (or receive) the registration data to (or from) a personal computer (a sequencing software). First, you need to connect your EL-100 with a personal computer (a sequencing software) using a Serial Cable or a MIDI cable (page 105). NOTE: You also need a sequencing software, which has been properly installed in the personal computer, and which can send and receive system exclusive messages. Send the Registration Data from the EL-100 to the Personal Computer (PC) Preparation (Setting up registrations) Set the Strings voice on the Upper Keyboard of the EL-100. Press STRINGS button on the Upper Keyboard Voice section, and select String 1 from the Strings Menu. 1 2 Store the registration to the Registration Memory button 1. While holding down the M. button Press the Registration Memory button 1. Sending the Registration Data Send the Request-to-Send all RAM message, “F0, 43, 70, 70, 10, F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100. 3 Once the EL-100 receives the Request-to-Send all RAM message, the EL-100 automatically sends all registration data in the all registration numbers to your PC. You can store the registration data in a file on your PC. 11 Appendix 108 NOTE: Depending on the capacity of your sequencing software, you may need to divide the data into two and send them to the PC separately. If you want to divide, see page 114, “Data Code to Send” table. For example, by changing the message from “F0,43,70,70,10,F7” (all data) to “F0,43,70,70,17,F7,” the Electone will send the Keyboard Percussion Assignment data only. Send the Registration Data from your PC to the EL-100 and Change the Registration Memory Buttons Send the data stored in the PC back to your Electone. Also, select a Registration Memory button and then play the upper keyboard using PC. Receiving the Registration Data Send the Request-to-Receive all RAM message, “F0, 43, 70, 70, 20, F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100. 1 Once the EL-100 receives the Request-to-Receive all RAM message, it automatically receives all registration data and relocates them to the all registration numbers. Selecting the Registration Memory Buttons Sending the Program Change messages from the PC to your EL-100 makes it possible to change the registration on the Electone. 2 Send the Program Change message, “CF, 00” (Hexadecimal) to the EL100. Once the Program Change message is received, the EL-100 automatically turns the Registration Memory button 1 on. Sending the Note-On Messages Send the Note-On message, “90, 30, 7F” (Hexadecimal) to the EL-100. 3 EL-100 receives the note-on message and plays C2 key on the Upper keyboard. It plays String voice you have set in the previous step. Send the Note-Off message, “90, 30, 00” to the Electone. All the above operations can also be done with the M.D.R. easily and efficiently. However, using the PC/ hard disk allows you to build up a large data library a single disk cannot deal with. 11 Appendix 109 Use the EL-100 as an XG Tone Generator You can also use the EL-100 as an XG tone generator since the EL-100 is compatible with the XG format. You can play back the commercially available XG song data with the Electone’s M.D.R., and also play them using an external sequencer (or sequencing software) and the internal XG tone generator. The internal tone generator section of the EL-100 is normally set to EL Mode for playing as an “Electone.” Sending an appropriate system exclusive message from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100 changes the mode to XG Mode, in which you can use the Electone as an XG tone generator. 1 Send the XG System On message, “F0, 43, 1N*, 4C, 00, 00, 7E, 00, F7” (Hexadecimal), from the sequencing software (PC) to the EL-100. *N: Device Number (“0” for the EL-100) Once the XG System On message is received, the internal tone generator will be in the XG Mode allowing the EL-100 to receive all the MIDI messages defined by the XG format such as NRPN and Bank Select. NOTE: The M.D.R. lets you play back the commercially available XG song data and convert the Electone song data to XG data. For more information on XG song playback and data conversion functions, see page 86, 87. NOTE: When you create an XG song data using a sequencing software, be sure to insert the XG System On message at the beginning of the data. The internal tone generator mode automatically changes to XG when you start to play back the data. NOTE: The internal tone generator mode automatically changes to XG when you play back commercially available XG song data. 11 Appendix 110 MIDI Data Format 1.

Noise may be produced when either an electrical appliance is turned on or off, or an electric power tool (such as drill) is used in the proximity of the Electone. If this occurs, plug the Electone into an electrical outlet located as far as possible from the device that seems to be the source of the problem. Interference from radio, TV, or other sources occurs. This is caused by the proximity of a high-power broadcasting station, an amateur ham radio setup or a mobile phone. Electone generates some noise. A cell phone may be used in the proximity of Electone. Using a cell phone beside the Electone may cause a noise. Turn off the power of the cell phone. Radio or TV generates some noise. Locating a radio or TV close to the Electone causes to produce a noise from it. Relocate it farther from the Electone. The sound of the Electone causes surrounding objects to resonate. Because the Electone is capable of producing powerful bass sounds, resonance may be caused in surrounding objects, such as cabinets or glass windows. To avoid this, relocate the objects or lower the Electone’s volume. Some of the lamps in the DISPLAY SELECT section do not light. The lamp of TREMOLO (FAST) button is lit when turned on. The others momentarily flash when the function is selected. The sound is too small even when the volume is set to its maximum. ● The Master Volume may be set around the minimum position. Turn it clockwise. ● The Expression Pedal may not be pressed down. Press it down with your toe. The Electone panel does not function normally or the content of the memorized data has changed. This happens very rarely. Occasionally, power surges and spikes due to electrical storms or other reasons may cause the Electone to malfunction and/or alter the contents of memorized data. If this happens, turn the power off and turn it back to on. Pressing a certain panel button doesn’t open its related LCD display. When the Pattern Disk is inserted in the M.D.R., the LCD will not change even if you press any buttons. Eject the Disk and press the desired button again. VOICES/RHYTHMS 11 Appendix 122 Switching voices causes the volume to change, despite their having identical volume setting. The volume of certain voices may seem lower than that of others. Adjust the balance of the sound with the volume control within the appropriate Voice Condition display. The pitch seems to be higher on the Pedalboard and lower on the Upper and Lower keyboards. You may feel it especially when playing piano voice. The temperament for the acoustic piano is tuned by listening to the overtones since the overtone configuration of the acoustic piano is so complicated that the actual notes in the higher and lower registers are difficult to be adjusted. On the contrary, the Electone voices including piano voice are tuned by actual notes. Thus, the tuning method itself in the higher and lower registers is different. Some voices seems to contain crack or distorted noise. You may feel it mainly with wind instrument voices. These are purposely built in effects, which can faithfully reproduce the characteristics of each instrument. You can enjoy more realistic sounds such as brass vibration and breath noise. When too many keys are pressed, not all of the notes sound. Total polyphonic capacity (notes sounding for both Upper and Lower Keyboards) is 10 notes. The notes exceeding this limit may not be produced. Only a note will be produced when pressing two keys or more on the Pedalboard and/or Lead voice. The Lead and Pedal voices are designed to sound one note at a time. When you simultaneously press two or more keys, only the highest note will sound. Problem Possible Cause and Solution VOICES/RHYTHMS The volume of Upper keyboard is louder than that of Lower keyboard, or vice versa. Manual Balance is wrongly set to the either side, Upper or Lower. Open the Voice Display by pressing the VOICE DISPLAY button in the DISPLAY SELECT section, and select page 2 to display the Manual Balance. Then change the balance between Upper keyboard and Lower keyboard. Pedalboard doesn’t sound, even when its volume is properly set. ● One of the A.B.C. modes, Single Finger or Fingered Chord, is active. Set the A.B.C. mode to off on A.B.C. page. ● The TO LOWER button in the Pedal Voice is turned on. Turn them off. When keys on the Lower keyboard or pedalboard are pressed, the sounds of percussion instruments are also heard. Keyboard Percussion function is set to on. Turn the Keyboard Percussion off. Even though a Dotted button’s rhythm has been selected and started, the pattern does not sound. Since the Dotted buttons contain User rhythms, no rhythm will sound if a Pattern Disk pattern has not been saved to the selected Dotted button. EFFECT The Initial Touch function does not operate. Initial Touch setting in the Voice Condition is not high enough to get the effect. Adjust the Initial Touch setting using the Voice Condition display. The Reverb effect does not operate, even when Reverb parameters for the selected voice sections are increased. The Reverb setting of the targeted voice group is set to 0. Raise the Reverb volume in the Voice Condition page 2 of the desired voice group. The Tremolo effect cannot be heard, even when the TREMOLO (FAST) button in the DISPLAY SELECT section is on. To get the Tremolo effect, you first need to select the Tremolo function in the Voice Condition page 3 or Effect Set page. ACCOMPANIMENT The pitch in the Single Finger mode does not change, even when pressing different keys of the keyboard. Single Finger mode will only produce notes when played within a fixed octave interval on the Lower keyboard. If notes with the same letter name are pressed outside of that range, the chords that are sounded will share the same pitch. While an intro./Ending pattern is automatically playing, the Lower keyboard does not produce any sound, even when the keys are played. Since the Accompaniment chords play automatically one after another, the Lower keyboard is designed not to produce any sound during the playback of an Intro./Ending pattern. The Accompaniment cannot be heard even when an appropriate Accompaniment type is selected and the rhythm has been started. The Accompaniment volume is set to 0 as the default. Be sure to raise the Accompaniment volume on the rhythm condition page. The harmony notes of the Melody On Chord function cannot be heard. The Upper keyboard has been set to sound only Lead voices. Raise the volume of Upper Keyboard voices (not Lead voice, in this case) high enough to get the effect. 11 Appendix 123 Problem Possible Cause and Solution REGISTRATION MEMORY Certain functions have not been memorized to Registration Memory. Some functions will not be memorized. (See page 67 for more information.) An error occurs and the registration data is not recorded to M.D.R., when executing To Disk operation. Your operation may be wrong or the Write-protect tab of the floppy disk is set to on. A simple beep sound is produced when I press the Basic Regist. Button. When the contents of the SEQ buttons are different from Electone’s default settings (you may have loaded the sequence data from the upper models), pressing one of the Basic Regist. buttons restores the original data and give a simple beep sound to notify it. MUSIC DISK RECORDER 11 Appendix 124 Recording or playback cannot be performed. The PLAY or RECORD section buttons for selecting parts may be turned off. Turn on the appropriate PLAY or RECORD buttons. A total of 40 songs cannot be recorded. If some song numbers contain a large amount of recorded data, the disk may not have enough available memory left to record the normal maximum of 40 songs. Check the remaining memory. Recording is stopped before the performance is finished, or the Song Copy function cannot be executed. ● The amount of recorded data on the disk is close to the maximum limit. Either use another disk or delete the data of any unnecessary song number. ● The length of a subsequently recorded part cannot exceed the length of the previously recorded parts. If you want to change the song length, first delete the existing song and record again. The rhythm does not start at the beginning of a recording, or stops in the middle of the performance. The M.D.R. is designed so that the rhythm cannot be started at the very beginning of a recording. If you wish to use the rhythm, start it after the available memory display appears on the M.D.R. display. The notes of the recording are “stuck” and sound continuously. During playback, you removed the disk by pressing the EJECT button. Whenever you wish to stop playback, always press the STOP button.
