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.

• 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 multiple­connector. 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.

ELB-01 Owner’s Manual

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.

• When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using
is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately
turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

• 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.

(1)B-9 1/2

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.

• 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.

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

• Always save data to a USB Flash Memory, in order to help prevent the loss
of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Backing up the USB storage device

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

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use
or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

The ELB-01 is compatible with the following formats.

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System
Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data
compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice
parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha
specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over
Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major
enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations,
as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single
unified format.

AVE-TCP, a TCP/IP protocol stack by ACCESS Co., Ltd., is installed in this product.

Main Features

Wide Variety of Registration Menus page 14

The Registration Menu buttons feature a total of 330 Registrations, allowing you to instantly set up the
Electone for playing your favorite type of music. The Registrations in Registration Menu are divided into six
basic categories for ease of selection. Moreover, you can edit any of the Registrations and customize them to fit
your own performance needs.

Richly textured, AWM Voices and High Quality Digital Effects

The ELB-01 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Voices—245 altogether—created with the
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The authentic touch response keyboard lets you
play these Voices with all the expressiveness and control of an actual acoustic instrument. What’s more, there
are wide variety of the effect types that you can apply to each Voice section—letting you enhance and even
completely change the character of the Voices.

pages 21, 52

Dynamic, Contemporary Rhythms and Auto Accompaniment page 56

The exceptionally wide selection of 133 rhythms lets you choose exactly the rhythm you need in your
performance. Each rhythm contains 15 variations (sections)—such as Main, Fill In, Intro, Ending, and
Break—that you can easily switch while you play, to make your performance even more dynamic and
professional. Each rhythm has its own matching accompaniment divided into five instrument parts, providing
basic backing as well as embellishments.

Keyboard Percussion page 77

This powerful feature allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. A wide range of
sounds and drum/percussion kits are available, for performing rhythms in real time. Each sound is assigned to
its own key, and the sounds include everything from conventional kicks and snares to a wide variety of ethnic
and Latin instruments, as well as special sound effects, such as thunder, laughing, animal cries and more.

Versatile Functions of the Music Data Recorder page 107

The Electone also features a Music Data Recorder (MDR) for recording your Registrations and performances
to USB flash memory, and playing back those performances using the sounds of the Electone. In addition, the
MDR allows you to copy a song from one USB flash memory device to another, letting you archive your
important recordings and Registration data. The Electone also allows you to convert the data format, letting
you play back songs that were recorded on other model Electones.

Using the LCD display

Many of the Electone’s operations are done from the LCD display. Pressing a button on
the panel automatically calls up the relevant function for the corresponding button in
the display. Depending on the display that appears, you can conveniently perform
various functions and change values/settings by using the [A] – [D] buttons (located at
either side of the LCD) and the DATA CONTROL dial (at the right of the LCD).

LCD Display and LCD Buttons

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

The functions of the [A] – [D] buttons differ depending on the selected display. Keep
in mind that three types of indicators are used with the functions and parameters: a
flashing indicator (¿ or ÷) a continuously lit indicator (¿ or ÷) and a square on/off
indicator (” or ’).

Quick Introductory Guide

1 Flashing indicator (¿ or ÷)

When the indicator at an item is flashing, you can directly select the item or parameter
(in this case, “Time”) by turning the DATA CONTROL dial clockwise. (When the
final item is reached, turning the DATA CONTROL dial clockwise does not “wrap
around” to the first item.) Turning the DATA CONTROL dial counter-clockwise
selects in the reverse order. (Similarly, when the first item is reached, turning the DATA
CONTROL dial clockwise does not “wrap around” to the last item.) Also, you can
change the desired value/setting by successively pressing the corresponding [A] –[D]
button (in this case, the [B] button). The value or setting changes (in steps) each time
the button is pressed.

2 Continuously lit indicator (¿ or ÷)

This indicates that the corresponding item/parameter is not currently selected for
change. When the ¿/÷ indicator at an item is continuously lit, pressing the
corresponding [A] – [D] button (in this case, the [C] button, corresponding to the
Mode setting) switches to a flashing indicator, letting you change value/setting with the
DATA CONTROL dial. Also, you can change the desired value/setting by successively
pressing the corresponding [A] – [D] button (in this case, the [C] button).

3 On/off indicator (” or ’)

A solid square (”) next to an item indicates that the corresponding function (in this
case, “Lead”) is on.
A hollow square (’) indicates that the function is off. Pressing the [A] – [D] button
corresponding to the desired item or parameter (in this case, the [D] button) alternates
between On and Off.
