Taking Care of Your Electone
Your Electone will give you years of playing pleasure
if you observe the simple rules given below:
1. Avoid Humidity & Heat
Avoid placing the Electone in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat.
Do not leave the instrument near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for
example.
2. Avold Dust & Moisture
Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or
moisture.
3. Handle With Care
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your
Electone, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn
the POWER switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the key cover.
4. Clean Carefully
Clean the cabinet and keys of your Electone only with a clean, slightly damp cloth.
A neutral cieanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes,
solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish.
5. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry
Never open the Electone cabinet and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.
Tampering with the circuitry can result in electrical shock!
6. Electric Interference
Since the Electone contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference if placed too
close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away
from the affected equipment.
7. Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voliage specified on the
name plate on the rear panel.

Main Features
Your Yamaha Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions. Yet it is amazingly easy to use. The
main features are described here so that you can quickly understand the capabilities of your Electone.
Included among the main features are:
Astoundingly True-to-life Sounds
The new AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) and FM (Frequency Modulation) tone generation technologies,
combined with authentic touch response for individual instrument voices, make the EL-28 a truly expressive
musical instrument. (See page 15.)
Limitless Variety of Organ Sounds
The EL-28 also has separate voice sections that feature classic organ sounds — from jazz and pop to church and
theater — and lets you easily create your own organ sounds by adjusting the volumes of the various flute foot-
ages. (See page 21.)
Recording and Playback of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder
The EL-28 Electone features a Music Disk Recorder for recording and playing back your performances. It
also allows you to use the included Demo Disk, for enjoying professionally recorded performances, and the
Voice Disk, for using additional voices with your Electone. (See page 54.)
Wide Range of Voice Controls and Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a variety of voice controls and effects, including octave settings,
Sustain, Reverb, Tremolo (for reproducing the sound of a rotating speaker) and Vibrato. (See page 24.)
Dynamic Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the EL-28 features authentic drum and percussion sounds, used by expert rhythm
programmers in creating a total of 41 rhythm patterns, ranging across all styles of music. (See page 31.)
A Keyboard Percussion function is also provided for playing the realistic percussion sounds from the Lower
keyboard and Pedalboard. (See page 41.)
Comprehensive Automatic Accompaniment
The EL -28 is also equipped with various automatic accompaniment functions, including Auto Bass Chord,
Accompaniment, Melody On Chord and the exciting SoloStyle feature. Together or individually, they provide
entertaining and inspiring instrumental backing and embellishment for your performance. (See pages 37-43.)
Wide Variety of Registration Menus
Your Electone also has convenient Registration Menus that allow you to instantly change all settings for the
entire instrument in real time, as you play. Each Registration has been specially created by professional
Electone artists to match virtually any style of music you play. With the 56 built-in Registrations and the 80 on
the included disk, you have access to a total of 136 Registrations. (See page 5.)

Quick Introductory Guide
Playing Your EL-28 Electone
No matter what your level of playing experience, we recommend that you take the time to go through this
basic section. It shows you in the simplest possible manner how to start playing your Electone. The basic
operations and functions that you learn in this section will also be important when you later use the
Electone's more advanced features.
Getting Started
Once you ve set up your Electone and plugged the power cord into an electrical outlet, you're ready to get
started and play.
1 e Turnonthe Electone by pressing the POWER switch.
POWER
When you turn on the Electone, the following displays will appear in
succession in the LCD:
This last display (Voice Display) shows the currently assigned voice
settings for each voice section of the instrument, with the abbreviation
for each beside the voice name: Upper ( [I] ), Lower ( 8 ), Lead
( MG ), and Pedalboard ( В).
Turning the Electone off erases all panel settings you have made. When the Electone is turned on, Basic
Registration | is automatically selected. If you have made panel settings you wish to keep, save them to
Registration Memory (see page 44) before turning the Electone off. You can, however, restore the panel
settings that were made before the Electone was last turned off. In doing this, first be careful NOT to press
any panel buttons (excepting those in Basic Registration) after you turn the Electone back on. Then, to
restore the previous settings, hold down the M (Memory) button and press the D (Disable) button.
Quick Introductory Guide
2. Set the MASTER VOLUME control.
The MASTER VOLUME control is an overall control which affects the
volume of the entire instrument.
MASTER VOLUME Set the control to roughly this
position. This is the normal
playing level.
3. Press the Expression pedal down with your foot. `
The Expression pedal also controls the entire volume of the Electone.
Once you have set the MASTER VOLUME control to a suitable level,
you can use the Expression pedal to change the volume with your foot as
you play.
Maximum volume Minimum volume
For now, press the pedal down slightly beyond the halfway point.
Playing Your Electone
Your new Electone is equipped with an exceptionally wide variety of voices, rhythms, and other convenient
functions. Since it may take some time to master the wealth of features available, the Electone includes conven-
ient Registrations that let you completely and instantly change the voices and other settings for all of the key-
boards, even as you play. Each registration is pre-programmed to be used for a specific music style or instru-
mental combination.
BASIC
REGIST.
Basic Registrations
TE
The Basic Registration section has five factory preset registrations, each
with a different set of voices for the Upper/Lower keyboards and Ped-
alboard and each specially suited for playing in a different music style.
When you turn the power on, the Electone automatically selects Basic
Registration 1. If another registration has been selected (the lamp on the
button will be lit), press the button for Basic Registration 1.
Try playing the melody line of the following piece of music on the
Upper keyboard, using the indicated registration.

In addition to the Basic Registrations, many more registrations are available on your Electone. The EL-28
features 56 built-in registrations including special organ sounds, plus an additional 80 Registration Menus
that can be loaded from the included Registration Menu Disk.
These registrations include voice and rhythm/accompaniment selections and have been created by profes-
sional Electone performers to suit a variety of music styles. With the variety of registrations available —
both on the Registration Menu Disk and built into the Electone — you're certain to find the right registration
that perfectly suits any style of music you play.
Built-in Registration Menu / Organ Select
The EL-28 1s equipped with a total of 41 specially programmed registra-
tions, selected with the Registration Menu button on the panel. There is
also an Organ Select function that lets you call up one of 15 different
organ combinations.

rhythm has been carefully chosen and programmed to best match the
particular music style.
The A.B.C. (Auto Bass Chord) automatic accompaniment feature of the
Electone also plays an important role and is used in conjunction with the
registrations and rhythm patterns. Like the rhythm patterns, A.B.C.
patterns have been programmed to best match the selected registration.
They allow you to add sophisticated bass and chord accompaniment
patterns that suit the music, simply by playing chords on the Lower
keyboard.
To use the A.B.C. automatic accompaniment feature:
5 e Pressachord onthe Lower keyboard. (Try the chord shown in
the illustration on the right.)
Example:
This function provides automatic accompaniment specially tailored for C г
the music style in which you play. Notice that even after you release
your fingers from the keyboard, the chord and accompaniment patterns
continue to sound. For more details on automatic accompaniment, see
page 38. Play a C chord on the keyboard
6. Now return to the first five written music examples in the
Basic Registrations section above. (See page 4.) Select the regis-
tration indicated at the top right of the score (for example in the
first song, "Pops Orch 1" number 32). Refer back to the steps on
selecting registrations above (Page 5) if necessary.
7. Adjust the tempo of the rhythm for each song by turning the
Tempo dial until the tempo number indicated in the display matches
that shown at the top right of each score.

8. Play the melody line as you did before with your right hand on
the Upper keyboard. This time, however, use the A.B.C. automatic
accompaniment by pressing the chords with your left hand. The
keys you should press are indicated by the small diagrams just
below the melody in the score.
9. Now that you've heard what A.B.C. can do, try selecting other
registrations from the Registration Menu. Use the A.B.C. function
with these newly selected registrations as well, to get a better idea of
the wide stylistic range of your Electone. |
See how easy it is? And remember, you don't have to hold the key down
to use the automatic accompaniment. Just press the key once and the
automatic accompaniment will continue until you press the next key.
Canceling the A.B.C. Automatic Accompaniment Function
You can, of course, cancel the automatic accompaniment patterns
(Fingered mode) if you want and play the accompaniment by yourself
