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.

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.

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.

About User voices:

Page 22 is “User” area. Although EL-100 cannot exactly play back the user voices created with the upper models like EL-900, the automatic conversion function allows your EL-100 play back the voices fairly close to the original sounds. However, some voices may not be reproduced properly.

3 Selecting from the Panel

Reverb, Sustain and Tremolo/Chorus pages are called up by pressing the respective panel buttons.

1 Reverb

Reverb adds an echo-like effect to the sound, giving the impression of a performance in a large room or concert hall. Reverb effect can be applied to the entire system or to each voice section (page 31) independently. Also, Reverb can be applied to the rhythm and accompaniment independently.

Fine adjustment of the depth of reverberation or the level of the reflected sounds. Coarse reverb depth settings are made with the panel REVERB buttons.

Range: 0 - 24

NOTE:

When this parameter or the panel REVERB control is set to the minimum, the settings in each voice condition page (page 31) have no effect.

2 Sustain

The Sustain effect, selectable for the Upper, Lower and Pedal voices, causes voices to 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.

Press one of the SUSTAIN buttons, located to the left of the panel, to set the Sustain effect. The following display appears.

The lamp of the button lights up to indicate that sustain is on. Press the button again to turn sustain off.

NOTE:

Sustain cannot be applied to the Lead voices.

NOTE:

Remember that the SUSTAIN buttons are on/off switches. If you use them to simply check the sustain length values, you may unintentionally change the on/off status of the effect. Remember to check whether the sustain button lamps are on or off before you start to play.

3 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).

2 Chorus Mode

Determines the effect applied when Tremolo is switched off: a slow chorus effect (SLOW) or STOP. Use the SLOW setting when you want to have a constant rotating speaker sound.

3) Realtime control of Tremolo effect

Once the Tremolo effect has been turned on and set, you can control the effect in real time from the panel or from the Left Footswitch (page 97). Simply press the TREMOLO (FAST) button in the DISPLAY SELECT section to turn the 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.

4 Rhythm and Accompaniment

The Rhythm features of the Electone use actual drum and percussion sampled sounds to automatically play various rhythms. Automatic Accompaniment functions are used with the rhythms, providing appropriate and completely automatic accompaniment to match the style of the selected rhythm. Moreover, the Electone has a Keyboard Percussion feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard and Pedalboard.

Selecting Rhythms from the Panel

Ten different rhythm categories in various styles can be instantly selected from the front panel. The Electone has many more ‘hidden’ rhythms, however. A total of 66 rhythms are available, and can be selected by using the display.

1) To select and play a rhythm:

Press any of the RHYTHM buttons once.

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.

This button puts the rhythm in ‘stand-by’ status. The rhythm will start when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard.

Pressing this button automatically adds a short introduction (of up to eight measures) before starting the actual rhythm. First, press the INTRO. ENDING button, then the START or SYNCHRO START button to actually start the rhythm.

NOTE:

The Left Footswitch can also be used to turn the rhythm on and off in the middle of song. To assign the Footswitch for rhythm control, see page 98.

While the introduction is playing, the display shows the countdown to the first measure of the pattern. For example, if there is an eightmeasure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time, the following display appears. Pressing the INTRO. ENDING button again while the pattern is being played will automatically add an ending phrase before stopping the rhythm.

BAR/ BEAT

LEAD IN

Pressing the START button while holding down the INTRO. ENDING button automatically plays a special one-measure Lead In, with a click on each beat, to cue you in to the beginning of the song.

Set the volume using the panel rhythm volume button.

RHYTHM

NOTE:

ABOUT SYNCHRO START:

Synchro Start functions quite differently when the Auto Bass Chord feature is turned on and the Accompaniment Memory is turned off. The rhythm starts when a key on the Lower keyboard is played, but then immediately stops when the key is released. To keep this from happening, turn the Memory function on. (Refer to the Auto Bass Chord section, page 52, for details on Auto Bass Chord and Memory.)

NOTE:

When the Electone is turned on, the Rhythm Volume is automatically set to 0.

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 boundaries, 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.

2 Rhythm Condition Pages

The Rhythm Condition includes the following two pages: the Rhythm Condition page used to adjust the rhythms and the Instrument page used to make up each drum/percussion instrument, each of which comprises the rhythms and is playable using the Keyboard Percussion function.

To select the Rhythm Condition page:

Choose a rhythm, and press that pattern’s panel button again (or again press the Data Control button corresponding to the selected rhythm). (The button should be pressed only once if the Rhythm display has already been called up; otherwise press the button twice.)

8 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-900.

The EL-100 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-100’ 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

3. Press the desired SEQ button. The SEQ button’s lamp will be lit.

During the rhythm sequence playback, the rhythm name currently played back is displayed on the LCD.

NOTE:

Four types of metronome sounds, simple metronome, two four, three four and four four, are assigned to the SEQ 1 – 4 buttons, respectively, as the defaults.

NOTE:

As soon as you load the sequence data using MDR, the default settings on each SEQ button, four types of metronome sounds, will be overwritten, or lost. Turning the power off resets the Electone to the defaults. Also, pressing any of the BASIC REGIST. buttons generates a short beep sound and retrieves the metronome sounds.

5 Registration Memory

Registration Memory allows you to store virtually all the settings you make on the panel and LCD, providing a convenient way to instantly change all voice settings and rhythms while you’re playing, with the simple touch of a single button on the Registration Memory panel.
