PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts.

If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

(1)B-6

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:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• 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.

• 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

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

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

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.

To Authorized Service Personnel

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

Registration Memory before turning the Electone off.

GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard which 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 which 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.

Additional Changes on Voice Display Pages

Two pages are added to the Voice Display page, a page with useful indications for realtime performance, the other for master control functions over various parameters; the Voice Display has become configured with total three pages.

Voice Display, Page 1

This first page is the same as the one in EL-900 excepting that: "U" in negative letter will be added to the top of the voice name indicating the current voice is a

User voice, if you have selected one of the User voices. If the name of the User voice has been altered, its latest name will also be displayed.

NOTE:

"U" in negative letter is the prefix for the

AWM+FM User voices, while "C" in negative letter is the one for the VA

Custom voices.


The indications assisting your realtime performance are prepared in this page.

It's convenient for you to display this page when you play the Electone since you can visually confirm the functions related to realtime performance.

Tempo

Shows the current tempo, which is the same as the one on the Tempo LED in the Rhythm section. You don't need to look aside and confirm the tempo every time you want to check the current tempo in the middle of the performance.

26

Bar/Beat

As the name implies, this works as the bar and beat indicators. The difference from the existing Bar/Beat Indicator (LED in the Rhythm section) is that this indication is independent from the Tempo display and you will not miss every beat even when the tempo change occurs.

Also, you don't need to twist your head to see the current bar/beat.

●

Bar/Beat indication when rhythm starts:

●

Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is off:

When you currently stop the rhythm, “STOP” is displayed.

●

Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is in stand-by mode

(Synchro. Start):

Registration Shift

●

Registration Shift, off:

The current position/registration is displayed.

●

Registration Shift, in "Shift" mode:

The current registration number (left) and the next number (right) will be displayed.

●

Registration Shift, in "Jump" mode:

The current registration number (left) and the destination number (right) will be displayed. You can change the destination number even in the middle of the performance by pressing the appropriate Data Control buttons.

27

28

●

Registration Shift, in “User” mode:

Indicates the current position of the Registration Shift. You can change the registration by moving the cursor to right and left. It's handy when you have wrongly advanced the shift setting in the middle of your performance. You cannot edit the user registration settings here.

M.D.R. Operation

Start, Stop and Song Select operations on the M.D.R. can be executed here. The currently selected song number and its name will be displayed.

When you set the Next Song function, you can visually confirm if the next song has been read, or not.

●

M.D.R.: not displayed

Nothing is displayed when no disk is inserted or while one of the following function is engaged: Recording, Song Delete, Song Copy and Disk Copy.

No Data Control button is operable, in this case.

●

M.D.R.: displaying the song name when stopped

The number and name of the currently selected song are displayed.

Also, those of the XG songs are displayed.

●

M.D.R.: displaying the song name during playback

Displayed during playback including song repeat function.

Only STOP button is available in this case.

When Next Song function is executed, the song number/name will be changed.


You can adjust to "uniform" a specific parameter used in various voice group at one time.

Take Reverb here, for example, you may sometimes want to change Reverb depth of the entire system equally when you rehearse in a concert since each concert hall has its own environmental characteristics, or resonance.

Although you know you can change the Reverb settings of the entire system at one time even on the EL-900, the

EL-900m lets you do the same operation with various parameters.

Furthermore, you can select from the several changing methods: changing the specific parameter values in a certain registration to the value in another registration at one time or offsetting a certain amount of value from a certain parameter in a registration on the basis of the one in another registration.

●

Let's check each section in the Voice Display.

The registration memory number 6 is currently selected in this case.

3 ON/OFF

Pressing “Off” after selecting the appropriate registration turns off (grayed out) its parameter. Pressing "On" turns on the parameter (solid bar). All parameters are selected after Power-On Reset operation.

NOTE:

The registration number encircled by the cursor (positive box) indicates that it acts as the master. Turning the Registration

Select "switch" on and off to select the targeted registrations.

There are several unique methods to select the registration memory numbers:

31

■ By pressing ON button while holding down COARSE button:

All the registration memory numbers can be selected by pressing the

Data Control buttons corresponding to "ON" with the COARSE button held.

■ By pressing OFF button while holding down COARSE button:

All the registration memory numbers can be cancelled by pressing the

Data Control buttons corresponding to "OFF" with the COARSE button held.

■ By holding ON and OFF simultaneously:

Holding down "ON" and "OFF" simultaneously turns on the registration memory numbers that contains the same voice as the one which is currently set in the registration at the cursor position.

In this case, the registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 are shown in a solid bar indicating that those contain the User Voice 2, Str.2.

4 SET

Uniforms the currently turned-on parameters' values to the one in the currently selected registration (at the cursor position).

Pressing [Set] opens the dialog box urging you to confirm the operation.

In this case, the operation uniforms the brilliance values of the Upper keyboard Voice in the registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 to the one in the registration 6 (at the cursor position).

If you proceed the operation, select [Uniform].

32

The completed message will momentarily be shown on the LCD.

5 DEC.(Decrement)/INC.(Increment)

Setting Examples

The display shows differently depending on the selected parameter.

Reverb Parameter

Shows the Pedal Voice 1 Reverb parameters.

Imagine, you want to decrease the value equally from the all parameters.

Select all the parameters by pressing "On" while holding down COARSE. Press

"DEC." button to gradually decrease the value.

Sustain Parameter

Shows the Lower Keyboard Voice Sustain parameters.

Try changes similar to the operation mentioned above.

Panning Parameter

Shows the current panning of the Upper Keyboard Voice 2.

The cursor is currently set at the registration 3, User voice 1 is assigned and panning is set to L2.

You will find the same User voice 1 is assigned to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6, 7,

8 and 15 but panning is different among those registrations.

To uniform the panning among those registrations, you need first to turn off the other registrations. Holding "On" and "Off" buttons simultaneously lets you select the voices containing the same voice. You are ready to uniform the pan setting.

Lastly, press [Set] button to uniform the panning.

You will find the same pan setting, L2, is adopted to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6,

7, 8 and 15.

You can offset the panning position using LEFT/RIGHT buttons (DEC./INC.

are changed to LEFT/RIGHT in the case of panning).

35

4

Pedal Polyphonic Mode

You can change the monophonic pedal voices to be polyphonic.

NOTE:

Be aware that you cannot exceed the total maximum polyphony, 14 notes for both

Upper, Lower and Pedal.

This makes it possible for you to enjoy various playing styles.

Legato and polyphonic play on the Pedalboard

You can make the different settings between Pedal Voice 1 and 2.

Pedal voices to the Lower keyboard

You can use one of the Pedal voices on the Lower keyboard using To Lower function.

Polyphonic Pedal voice and

A.B.C. function

Set one of the Pedal Voice groups to Polyphonic mode and turn on the A.B.C.

function. You can play the pedal voice independently and A.B.C. function produces sounds using the other Pedal Voice group.

NOTE:

A.B.C. function is not available with the

Pedal Voice group which Polyphonic mode is set to on.

36

5

VA Voice Edit

Editing VA voices becomes possible with EL-900m.

The available parameters are the same as the ones on AWM.

● OL (Output Level)

Determines the level of the VA sound.

Range: 0 - 127

● AR (Attack Rate)

Determines how quickly the Operator will reach its maximum level after the key is played.

Lower values produce a slower attack.

Range: -64 - +63

● DR (Decay Rate)

Determines how much time it takes for the Operator to reach its second level.

Range: -64 - +63

● RR (Release Rate)

Determines how much time it takes for the level to reach 0 after the key is released.

Range: -64 - +63

● LOW

Determines to boost or decrease the output of the lower range of the keyboard.

Range: -64 - +63

● HIGH

Determines to boost or decrease the output of the higher range of the keyboard.

Range: -64 - +63

The basic concept and necessary operations are the same as the ones for AWM voice editing.

NOTE:

You need to understand the functions of each parameter to edit the VA voices.

NOTE:

Some voices may not have distinctive effect.

As you can see the algorithm, a VA voice is configured with three factors: VA,

AWM and FM.

However, the output levels of AWM and FM tone generators are set to off, and

VA voices sound using VA tone generator only. (This is true for all VA voices.)

You can edit the VA voices adding AWM and/or FM voice elements. Now listen to the "hidden" voices by raising the AWM and/or FM output levels.

NOTE:

The VA voices built in EL-900 are also configured with VA, AWM and FM.

37

Let's check VA Shakuhachi voice.

1 Engage editing the voice.

The OL of FM OP1, carrier, is set to 0.

Moves the cursor to OP5. The OL of FM OP5, carrier, is also set to 0.

2 Move the cursor to AWM, and its OL is also set to 0. Gradually raise the OL of the AWM. In this case, turn off the VA tone generator

(positive letters).

NOTE:

Turning each operator on/off: Move the cursor to select the appropriate operator using the second Data Control buttons from the left and temporarily turn off the operator using the left most Data Control buttons.

The voice, Shamisen, will gradually be heard.

You understand that Shamisen is preset as AWM voice.

Also, check the FM "hidden" voice by raising OL of FM carrier.

Turn off AWM and VA and listen to the FM voice. (VA and AWM should be displayed in positive letters.)

38

You will find an attack sound similar to Shamisen voice in the OP1 and

OP5, carriers of FM synthesis.

Turn these FM carriers to off and turn the VA and AWM back to on.

(Be sure to lower the OL of FM OP1 and OP5 to the minimum.)

You can produce an effective voice using two voice factors, VA and

AWM here for example, in a single voice.

3 Save the voice to the Custom voice area.

Select SAVE page and save to the VA Custom Voice locations, different from the normal voices (User Voice).

You can name the voice you created as well as you do for the normal voices.

The operation and the number of letters for naming are the same as the one for normal voices.

Name the voice "02 Shaku&Koto" here.

VOICE NAME

Up to 16 letters can be used to name your newly created voice.

Yamaha recommends you to add the Custom (user) voice number to the voice you created. When displayed on the LCD or when reediting the voice, you may become unsure which user voice you are editing.

If you name a voice "Trumpet," the Voice Display simply shows it "(c)

Trumpet." It will be difficult for you to know to which user number the voice is saved.

If you add the appropriate user number to the created voice, you can easily understand the voice's derivation.

Up to 6 user voice locations, Custom voices, are available for the VA voices.

All the Custom voice locations are tentatively preset with voices as factory preset. Those voices will be overwritten and cleared, when you save your own voices to the locations. If you want to keep a certain preset voice intact, select another location to save your voice.

NOTE:

Resetting the Custom (VA user) voices to the factory presets:

Power-On reset operation restores original voices. If you don't want to restore and you want to keep some of them with your voices, you can save the original voices to a disk in advance and reload the voice(s) one by one from it to Electone.

39

40

Reproducing the edited VA voices on EL-900

The edited VA voices can be reproduced on EL-900.

Although saving the registration again on EL-900 resets the voice parameters to

0, the voice itself is intact.

The voice name will also be reset. Be aware those facts when saving the registration again.

VOICE DISK

VA voice disk is optionally available.

The operation procedure is the same as the one for normal voices.

1 Select a VA voice and enter voice editing.

2 Select VOICE DISK using Page buttons.

PAGE

3 Insert a VA voice disk.

4

5

Select the desired voice by pressing Data Control buttons.

Designate one of the VA Custom voices and save the voice.

6

Registration Shift Next Song +

(Next Song +).

Registration Shift: Mode Page

Registration Shift: User Edit

A suffix, +, is added.

IMPORTANT

● Use the same user voice number and name for the same voices between songs.

● If a voice with a specific user number is used in the previous song and another voice with the same user number is used in the next, always change one of the two voice names.

NOTE:

If you set the same user voices the user voices will not sound again in the consecutive song.

The sound will be played again in the transition to the next song, if the voice has two different names even when the same voice is used.

If you play the songs with EL-900, the new user voices will not be read.

You need to be aware what type of Electones you are using to make registration sequences.

NOTE:

The VA voices can also be read as well as the normal voices, but they may not sound since they take much time to be read in the

Electone.

Convenient Disk Copy Function

Disk Copy 2

The functions are almost the same as the ones on the EL-900. Additional operation method is added to the Disk Copy function.

● Song Copy in the same disk (the same)

● Song Copy between different disks (the same)

● Disk Copy (new operation method is added)

You can use the following operation procedure in Disk Copy function.

MIDI Out filter

The MIDI Out filter function is equipped with the Electone not to response to unnecessary MIDI data. An additional MIDI Control page is used for this function.

An external MIDI device that receives the MIDI data should have the filtering function when the horizontal touch and aftertouch are unnecessary. If the device doesn't have this function, use the MIDI Out Filter on the Electone.

●

The Messages to be filtered:

• Horizontal Touch Message

Even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always send out the horizontal touch messages. You need to cut the data if you use the tone generators like MU series, since they receive the messages and produce the sounds that are applied with pitch bend function.

• After Touch Message

Also, even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always send out the aftertouch messages. In addition to the normal aftertouch,

VA aftertouch (Control no. 16) is sent out. If you don't need them you can cut them.

• 2nd Expression Pedal Message

This message is transmitted as the Control no. 4. If you don't need the control no. 4 you can cut it.

• Rhythm Start/Stop Messages

Electone can transmit the realtime messages FA (start) and FC (stop).

When working with an external sequencer, the sequencer may respond to those messages. You can avoid it with this message set to off.

NOTE:

MU series:

XG tone generators from Yamaha. EL-900 has built in MU50 type tone generator exclusive for XG playback.

NOTE:

VA Aftertouch:

Exclusive to VA tone generation system and can be applied only to Upper keyboard.

NOTE:

The message of the 2nd expression pedal is different from the normal MIDI pitch bend messages.

NOTE:

This MIDI Out Filter function is effective for the external connected devices and not effective for the M.D.R. recording.
