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.

About TO LOWER - Playing (Upper) Lead Voice and Pedal Voice 1/2 from the Lower keyboard:
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.

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. See page 66 for more information.
You can, however, restore the panel settings that were made before the Electone was last turned off. See page 72 for more information.

Selecting Voices from the
Dotted Buttons
The EL-400 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 three 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.
21
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 1 section, the second voice to the other dotted button in the same section, and the third one on the Voice Menu.
● Optional Voice Disk voices containing many new voices are also being made available by designating User Voice page. See page 94 for more information.

To select voices from the dotted buttons:
Press one of the dotted buttons in any of the voice sections.
Select Honky Tonk piano, for example, to the Dotted button 1 in Upper
Keyboard Voice 1.

Touch Tone
The Touch Tone function gives you expressive control over the volume and timbre of a voice. For example, piano voices sound much brighter when you hit the keys strongly, especially in the attack portion of the sound – exactly as if you were playing an acoustic piano. All voices are provided with this expressive function, making it possible to perfectly reproduce the subtle dynamic and tonal changes of actual instruments.
Two types of keyboard touch affect this function: Initial Touch and After Touch.
1 -1 INITIAL Touch
Controls volume and timbre according to the velocity at which you strike the keys.
The harder you strike the keys, the greater the volume and the brighter the timbre will become.
Higher settings make the change wider.
Range: 0 - 14

1 -2 AFTER Touch
Controls volume and timbre according to the pressure you apply to the keys after playing them. The harder you strike the keys, the greater the volume and the brighter the timbre will become.
Higher settings make the change wider.
Range: 0 - 14
NOTE:
Generally, After Touch has no effect on percussive voices (such as Piano,
Harpsichord or Vibraphone) or percussion sounds.

T.V (Touch Vibrato)
On/off switch of the Touch Vibrato function. Touch Vibrato lets you apply vibrato to individual notes as you play them. The harder you press down the key, the greater the vibrato will be.

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 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

Melody On Chord (M.O.C.)
The Melody On Chord (M.O.C.) feature automatically adds a harmony part to the melodies you play on the Upper keyboard. The harmony is derived from the chords you play on the Lower keyboard – or from the chords that are played for you, if you use Automatic Accompaniment.
Melody On Chord has three different modes, each providing a different set of harmonies to accompany the melody played.
To display the M.O.C. function, press A.B.C./M.O.C. button in the DISPLAY
SELECT and then select the Page 2.

About the Rhythm Sequence
Rhythm Sequence is built up with various different rhythm patterns, and can be programmed by the other Electone such as EL-700 and EL-500.
The EL-400 doesn’t have Rhythm Sequence function, but it can read and load the rhythm sequence data recorded on the MDR (a floppy disk) to its four SEQ buttons in the Rhythm section and play back them, as follows:
1.
Insert the floppy disk containing rhythm sequence data into the EL-400’ s MDR slot. The rhythm sequence data is recorded as a part of registration data (explained on page 78).
2.
Select the song number containing the registration data and press PLAY button on the MDR to load the data. The rhythm sequence data has been loaded to the Electone, or SEQ button(s).
3.
Press the desired SEQ button. The SEQ button’s lamp will be lit.
