Main Features
Your Yamaha Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions. Yet it is amazingly easy to use.
The main features are briefly 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 this Electone a truly expres-
sive musical instrument.
Limitless Variety of Organ Sounds
The Electone 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 footages. (See page 24.)
High-quality Digital Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a full range of high-quality digital effects, including Tremolo (for
reproducing the sound of a rotating speaker), Reverb, and (on the EL-60) Flanger and Delay. (See page 27.)
Dynamic Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the Electone features authentic drum and percussion sounds, used by expert rhythm
programmers in creating a total of 66 rhythm patterns, ranging across all styles of music. (See page 38.) A
Keyboard Percussion function is also provided for playing the realistic percussion sounds from the Lower
keyboard and Pedalboard. (See page 50.)
Comprehensive Automatic Accompaniment
The Electone 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 pro-
vide entertaining and inspiring instrumental backing and embellishments for your performance. (See pages
46—53.)
Wide Variety of Registration Menus
The Electone is equipped with 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 profes-
sional Electone artists to match virtually any style of music you play. The EL-60 has 80 registrations avail-
able on disk, while the EL-40 has 61 registrations and Organ Select presets built in. (See page 8.)
Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder (EL-60)
The EL-60 Electone also features a Music Disk Recorder for recording your performances. (The Music Disk
Recorder is available as an option for the EL-40.) The recording is completely digital and is stored to disk,
which means that no matter how many times you play back the recording, it will always sound exactly the
same as the original performance. (See page 68.)
Sophisticated Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence Programming (EL-60)
The Rhythm Pattern Programmer and Rhythm Sequence Programmer let you use the realistic Keyboard
Percussion sounds, along with 32 additional percussion sounds, to create and record your own rhythm pat-
terns, then combine them (and the preset rhythms, if you wish) to make complete automatic rhythm tracks.
(See page 86.)
Quick Introductory Guide
PLAYING YOUR EL-60/40 ELECTONE
Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in your
life, 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 Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER switch.
When you turn on the Electone, the following displays will appear
in succession in the LCD:
EL-40 EL- 60
+ YAMAHA. Electone
EL-80
YAMAHA Electone
EL=H0
MPizz5trs AQUiolin о
MStringsl @[EContBass
This last display, Voice Display, shows the currently assigned voice
settings for each voice section of the instrument, with the abbreviation
for each voice section beside the voice name: Upper ([l)), Lower([}),
Lead (MM), and Pedalboard (4).
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 (see page54) 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.
2. Set the MASTER VOLUME control.
The MASTER VOLUME control is an overall control which affects the MASTER VOLUME
volume of the entire instrument.
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.
Set the control to roughly this position.
This is the normal playing level.
Maximum volume Minimum volume
For now, press the pedal down slightly beyond the halfway point.
Playing Your Electone
Your new Electone is fully equipped with an exceptionally wide variety of voices, rhythms, effects and other
convenient functions. Since it may take some time to master the wealth of features avallable, the Electone in-
cludes convenient Registrations that let you completely and instantly change the voices and other settings for all
of the keyboards, even as you play. Each registration is pre-programmed to be used for a specific music style or
instrumental combination.
‘Basic Registrations €
The Basic Registration section has five factory preset registrations, each PE
with a different set of voices for the Upper/Lower keyboards and Ped- o
alboard and each specially suited for playing in a different music style. 67

Registration Menu
In addition to the Basic Registrations, many more registrations are available on your Electone. These regis-
trations include voice and rhythm selections and have been specially created by professional Electone per-
formers to suit a variety of music styles. With the variety of registrations available, you're certain to find the
right registration that perfectly suits any style of music you play.
There are certain differences in this function between the EL-40 and the EL-60. Please read the instructions
that correspond to the particular model you own.

You can also adjust the tempo of the rhythm to your liking by turning the
TEMPO dial, as indicated in the illustration below.
Slower Faster
Rhythms are an important part of each registration. Each registration s
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 Press a chord on the Lower keyboard. (Try the chord shown in
the illustration on the right.)
This function provides automatic accompaniment specially tailored for
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
paged’.
6 e Now return to the first five written music examples in the Basic
Registrations section above. (See page 7.) Select the registration
indicated at the top right of the score (for example, &quot;Pops Orch 1&quot; in
the first song). Refer back to the steps on selecting registrations on
the EL-40 or EL-60 above (page$8, 9) if necessary.
11
Note: Some of the registrations in
the Registration Menus, especially
in the Organ Sounds, may not have
assigned rhythm and automatic ac-
companiment patterns.
Example:

vast potential of your Electone. Now that you know how to select among
the Basic Registrations and use the A.B.C. Automatic Accompaniment,
take some time to explore the other registrations and their rhythm pat-
terns. There's a great wealth of realistic voices, authentic orchestration
and stylistically varied rhythms — all instantly available on the EL-40
from the Registration Menus and Organ Select features, or from the
Registration Menu Disks on the EL- 60.

Note: Before going on to explore the
remaining sections of this manual, we
suggest that you turn the A.B.C. auto-

Using The LCD Display
The many sophisticated functions of the EL-60/40 are shown and controlled from the LCD display. The LCD
display lets you see at-a-glance the current settings of the selected functions.
This section introduces you to the control functions and conventions of the LCD display, allowing you to
operate your new Electone quickly and effectively.
1 e First, call up the Voice Menu LCD display for the Piano voice
of the Upper keyboard by pressing the PIANO button in the Upper
Keyboard Voice section.

The Electone has four voice sections: Upper Keyboard Voice, Lead Voice, Lower Keyboard Voice, and
Pedal Voice. All voices are playable from the Upper or Lower keyboards or Pedalboard, allowing you to
create richly textured voice layers on a single keyboard.
Selecting Voices from the Panel
Since selection of panel voices follows the same procedure throughout the various voice sections, instructions for
only the Upper Keyboard Voice section are given here.

Follow steps 41 — #3 above, now using the controls of the Lower Key-
board and Pedal Voices.
Selecting Additional Voices — Dotted Buttons and User
Voices
The EL-60/40 Electone has a 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. Optional Voice Disk voices are also available for
storing to User Voices (EL-60, or EL-40 equipped with the optional Music Disk Recorder).
Selecting Voices From the Dotted Buttons
Each voice section has one or two dotted buttons, found on the right side of each voice section. These dotted
buttons function as &quot;wild card&quot; Voice Menu selectors; any internal or User voices can be selected from these
buttons.
The dotted buttons have the following basic uses:
1 ) For playing any voice of the Voice Menus from any of the key-
boards or Pedalboard. You can play on the Upper keyboard, for ex-
ample, 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.
2) 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 sec-
tion, the second voice to the other dotted button in the same section, and
the third one on the Voice Menu.
21
3) For storing voices from a Voice Disk (on the EL-60, or on the EL-
equipped with the optional Music Disk Recorder). (See page 83.)
Toselect a voice from a dotted button:
1. Press one of the dotted buttons in any of the voice sections.
