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.

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

Selecting Additional Voices — Dotted Buttons and User
Voices
The EL-28 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 convenient access to any voice.
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 "wild card"
Voice Menu selectors; any internal 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
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 key-
board voice sections, they can be played polyphonically. The opposite is
also the case: Upper or Lower voices assigned to the Lead or Pedal
sections will be monophonic.
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
section, the second voice to the other dotted button in the same section,
and the third one on the Voice Menu.
3 ) For storing voices from a Voice Disk.
The included Voice Disk lets you use additional Voices with
your EL-28.

2 Flute Voices
The Flute Voice feature allows you to create your own organ voices, giving you access to an unlimited com-
bination of organ sounds. With this function, you can recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting
the flute footage levels and the percussive sound, just like on conventional organs.
There are eight flute footage settings, with three additional footage settings for the attack sound. You
can select specially programmed Preset Flute Voices, or create your own by adjusting the footage settings.
There are two Flute Voice pages.

To use the Flute Voice function and select Page 1 (Edit page):

3 Voice Controls and Effects
The Electone is equipped with two general kinds of functions that can be used to change the sound of the
voices: Voice Controls and Effects.
These are used to change various aspects of the voices, such as the volume or octave (footage) settings,
or enhance the sound of the voices, such as with Reverb or Tremolo.
Each voice has been given certain factory-preset settings to best enhance its sound. However, with the
exception of the Touch Tone function, you can also change the settings to suit your preferences by using
the controls described in this section,
Voice Condition Pages
To select the Voice Condition pages for changing the settings:
Choose a voice on the panel, then press that voice's panel button
twice. Use the Page Select buttons to change the pages.
Note: The Pedal Condition display has
only one page.
For the Lead Voice example shown below, press the VIOLIN button in

Vibrato
Vibrato is an effect that periodically, or regularly, varies the pitch of a voice for a quavering sound. Used prop-
erly, it can make a voice sound richer and more natural.

Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of
a key and the start of the vibrato effect (see Vibrato Controls
diagram on page 25). Higher settings increase the delay of the vi-
brato onset. Range: 0 - 7
@ Depth

settings result in a more pronounced vibrato. Range: 0 - 7
© Speed (Lead Voice only)
Determines the speed of the vibrato effect (see diagram). Ran ge: 0-7
If User Vibrato has not been turned on, the following display appears
when Page 3 is selected.
Touch Tone
The Touch Tone function gives you expressive control over the volume and timbre of a voice. Specifically, it
provides initial touch response over the voices, controlling 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.
Note: The Touch Tonc function is pro-
vided as a factory preset for each voice
and cannot be adjusted.
Reverb
Reverb adds an echo-like effect to the sound, giving the impression of a performance in a large room or concert
hall. The effect is applied equally and simultaneously to all voice sections.
To adjust the reverb effect:
Press one of the REVERB buttons, located at the far left of the panel.
These controls determine the depth of the reverb effect. There are seven
settings, from a minimum of 0, or no reverb, to the maximum.
REVERB
27
Sustain
Sustain is selectable for the Upper, Lower and Pedal voices and makes the sound gradually fade out when the
keys are released. The sustain on/off and sustain length settings are independent for each keyboard, providing
maximum expressive control.
To add sustain to the voices and call up the Sustain Length page:
Press the UPPER button in the SUSTAIN section.

Determines the length of sustain applied to each voice section. The
display shows the current sustain length values tor each voice section.
Range: 0 - 12.
Tremolo/Chorus
Note: Sustain cannot be applied to the
Lead voices.
Note: If knee lever control of the Upper
or Lower sustain has been turned on,
pressing the Upper or Lower buttons
here will not add sustain unless the knee
fever is pushed. (See page 48.)
Note: The values here must be set high
enough for the sustain effect to be no-
ticeable.
Note: Remember that the SUSTAIN but-
tons arc on/off switches. If you use them
to simply check the sustain length values,
vou may unintentionally change the on/
oft status of the effect. Remember to
check whether the sustain button lamps
are on or off before you start to play.
Tremolo recreates the rich, swirling sound of the popular rotating speaker effect. Just as with a conventional
rotating speaker, you can switch the effect on and off as you play. And like a motor-driven speaker, the charac-
teristic tremolo effect gradually changes speed after it is switched. Tremolo can be switched in real time as you
play with the TREMOLO (FAST) button on the panel.
Tremolo Operation
1) For Panel Voices (Voice Menu): Turn on Tremolo effect in each
Voice Condition display
2) For Upper/Lower Flute Voices: Turn on Tremolo effect in Page | of
Flute Voice
3) Turn on Tremolo as you play with the panel Tremolo button.

Note: All voices of the Electone are
given a preset Tremolo setting; this can
be overridden by using the ON/OFF
control in the Voice Condition page.

4 Rhythm, Accompaniment
and Percussion
The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to automatically
play various rhythm patterns. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with the rhythm patterns,
providing appropriate and completely automatic accompaniment to match the style of the rhythm pat-
tern selected. Moreover, the Electone has a Keyboard Percussion feature that allows you to play drum
and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard and Pedalboard.
Rhythm Patterns
Fourteen different rhythm categories in various styles can be instantly selected from the front panel. The Elec-
tone has additional "hidden" rhythm patterns, however. A total of 41 rhythm patterns are available, and can be
selected by using the LCD display.
To select and play a rhythm pattern:
1. Choose a rhythm pattern by pressing one of the Rhythm but-
tons in the Rhythm section on the panel.

To select a rhythm pattern from each category in the display, press the
Data Control button corresponding to the rhythm you wish to play, as
you do with the voices. The first character of the selected rhythm pat-
tern's name flashes. (Refer to the Rhythm Menu list on page 36for a list
of available rhythms.)

O 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.
© SYNCHRO START
This button puts the rhythm pattern in "stand-by"; the rhythm will
start when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. To
stop the rhythm, press this button again.
O INTRO. ENDING
Pressing this button automatically plays a short introduction (ofup to
eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm pattern. First, press
the INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or SYNCHRO
START buttons. While the introduction is playing, the TEMPO
Display shows the countdown to the first measure of the pattern. For
example, 1f there 1s an eight-measure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time,
the following display appears:

Note: The left footswitch can also be
used to turn the rhythm off and on in the
middle of a song. However, it cannot be
used to start the rhythm at the beginning
of a song. (To assign the footswitch for
rhythm control, see page 47.)

4 Rhythm, Accompaniment
and Percussion
ABOUT SYNCHRO START:
The Synchro Start feature functions quite differently when Auto Bass Chord is turned on and Accompani-
ment Memory 1s turned off. The rhythm pattern starts when a key on the Lower keyboard is played, but then
immediately stops when the key 1s released. To keep this from happening, turn the Memory function on.
(Refer to the Automatic Accompaniment section, page 38, for details on Auto Bass Chord and Memory.)

Fine adjustments in the volume of the rhythm pattern can also be made
from the Rhythm Condition page (See page 35.)

crease the tempo, and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

Shows the current tempo. (Displayed values are given in beats per
minute, just as on a conventional metronome.) The tempo range is
40 to 240 beats per minute.
When the rhythm pattern begins playing, the TEMPO display changes
function to a bar/beat indicator.
BAR/BEAT
q The number on the left indicates the current bar or measure and the

| Fill In Patterns
Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks to spice up a repeating rhythm
pattern. Like the regular rhythm patterns, all Fill In patterns have been designed to perfectly match the bass and
chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment feature.
To use the Fill In patterns:
1 e Select and play a rhythm pattern.
2. As you play the Electone along with the rhythm pattern, occa-
sionally press the FILL IN button.
RHYTHM
INTRO.
ENDING

FILL IN
For best results, press the FILL IN button just at the beginning or the first
beat of a measure.
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.
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 bounda-
ries, 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.
Auto Variation and Percussion Volume
These two settings are controlled from each voice's Rhythm Condition pages. There are three Rhythm Condi-
tion pages.
To select the Rhythm Condition pages:
Choose a rhythm pattern, and press that pattern's panel button again.
(The button should be pressed only once 1f the Rhythm display has
already been called up; otherwise press the button twice.)
