Yamaha EL100E, EL100 User Manual

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/Power cord

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

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

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• 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.

Do not open

• 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.

Water warning

•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.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

• 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.

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:

Power supply/Power cord

• 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.

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

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

Assembly

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.

(1)B-7 1/2

Location

• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

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

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• 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.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• 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.

•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.

Connections

• 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.

Maintenance

•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

Using the bench (If included)

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

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder 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 data

Saving and backing up your data

• All panel settings and Registration Memories are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. If you want to keep the settings, save the data to a floppy disk (see page 67).

Backing up the floppy disk

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.

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.

In addition to the four panel voice groups such as Upper Keyboard Voice, Lower Keyboard Voice, Pedal Voice and Lead Voice, the EL-100 has three “hidden” voice groups, Upper Keyboard Voice 2, Lower Keyboard Voice 2, Pedal Voice 2. These three voice groups are displayed on page 2 of the Voice Display screen. This fact indicates the EL-100 owns the same voice group numbers as those of the upper models like EL-500. Accordingly, the EL-100 can play back the registrations created with the upper models like EL-500. You can change the settings of each “hidden” voice group as you do with the panel voice groups.

3 Selecting Voices from the

Dotted Buttons

The EL-100 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 two 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.

● 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.
