About This Manual

(Read this first!)

This manual is made up of four chapters, each focusing on a single song

for you to practice. By playing and working on each song, you’ll build up

your knowledge and experience of using the ELS-01/01C/01X, and

increase your familiarity with the functions of the instrument naturally. If

you’re already familiar with the Electone or have experience playing one,

feel free to start somewhere in the middle of the book, rather than the

beginning. The point is to learn things about the Electone that you may

not have known before, and to use them effectively in your performance.

When you need more specific instructions or want to explore a feature or

function in greater detail, refer to the separate Owner’s Manual.

In addition, the Owner’s Manual contains basic information about the

ELS-01/01C/01X, such as the Panel Layout and Basic Operations (pages

8 – 21), helpful sections you should read before working through this

booklet.

Now, go to the next page and take a look at the brief overviews of each

chapter.

Playing with the Registration Menus

Song: “Grandfather’s Clock”

Simply select the Registration from the Registration Menu and play the song. It’s not a
difficult piece to play, but if y ou’re unfamiliar with the score, try slowing down the rh ythm
and playing it at a more relaxed pace . Enjoy perf orming with the clear oboe melody and
the beautiful strings harmony.

Editing a Registration and Storing it to Registration Memory

Song: “Dancing Queen”

Here, you’ll select a Registration from the Registration Menu, then slightly edit it and
save to Registration Memory. Three Registration Memories (M1, M2, and M3) are used
in this song. You’ll also save these Registrations to a SmartMedia card. Finally, play the
song and use the right footswitch to change the Registration Memory. The Lower
keyboard and Pedalboard parts are very simple, letting you master this piece quickly.

In this chapter, we’ll work on creating each Registration from scratch, instead of using
the Registration Menu. First, select the Voices for each Voice section and apply some
controls and effects. Then, program a Rhythm Sequence and Registration Sequence.
These allow you to play the song with all the necessary changes made automatically —
without your having to use the footswitch, switch Registrations or select different
rhythms. Finally, record the settings and your performance to a SmartMedia card.

Song: “Moldau”

The Organ Flutes function (not available on the ELS-01) lets you create various organ
sounds — such as those of a traditional pipe organ, gorgeous jazz organ, and more.
“Moldau” is a short song, yet it includes a very colorful organ sound. Enjoy all of the
sounds from your head down to your feet.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Electone is its abundance of realistic Voices and dynamic
rhythms. For details on exactly what Voices and rhythms are available, check the Voice List and
Rhythm List in the Owner’s Manual (pages 30 and 59). With all the hundreds of choices available, you
may have a difficult time finding which is best for a particular song. That’s where the Registration
Menu comes in handy.

Registration Menu contains 48 Registrations (60 on the ELS-01C/01X) in five main categories: (1) Kids,
(2) Pops & Rock, (3) Dance & Ballad, (4) Jazz & Latin, and (5) Symphony & World. Registration settings
in the Registration Menu include not only the Voices for each keyboard — Upper, Lower and Pedal —
but also the rhythm and Auto Bass Chord settings. This means you can enjoy playing the Electone
with appropriate settings for any style of music or song simply by selecting the desired Registration
from the Registration Menu.

About “Grandfather’s Clock”

This plaintive and poignant folk song was written by Henry Clay Work back in 1876, and was one of
the two most popular songs that year in the United States — the other being “I’ll Take You Home,
Kathleen.” Standing clocks like the one mentioned in the lyrics were a common fixture in homes across
the country, and the image of the clock, as well as the parallel lives of the clock and the old man,
captured the hearts of listeners as much as did the beautiful melody. The song has endured, renewing
its popularity every generation, and has even left us with the word “grandfather clock” — meaning a
standing, tallcase clock.

In this chapter, first select one of the Registration Menu buttons (as you did in ACT 1), then create
three new Registrations by changing the selected Registration. You can save the created
Registrations to the Registration Memory buttons first, then save them to a SmartMedia card.

Here is a brief rundown of the three Registrations you’ll be using in “Dancing Queen.” Registration M1
features a clear piano intertwined with warm strings and a distinctive wah guitar in the Lower
keyboard. In M2, the Synth Lead performs the melody. The last Registration, M3, is the gorgeous
sound of the original Registration Menu itself.

About “Dancing Queen”

The Disco craze of the mid 1970’s swept the entire world, resulting in a huge amount of hit songs and
many popular artists, such as Earth, Wind & Fire, KC & the Sunshine Band, and the Bee Gees. One of
the most successful Disco-flavored acts was ABBA, the Swedish male/female team of songwriters/
singers — and “Dancing Queen” was one of their most popular songs. As you’ll discover, the Electone
has a wide variety of highly danceable rhythms that are ideal for recreating the Disco sound.

The original Registration Menu we’ll use for “Dancing Queen” is full and rich — perfect for this song’s main
melody. However, it’s a bit too extravagant to use in the intro. So, we’ll make it a little more simple and sparse, by
canceling the Melody On Chord feature and muting the Lead Voice.

In Acts 1 and 2, you were able to enjoy playing the songs quickly using just the Registration Menu.
However, you may want to spice up your performance with more detailed Voice settings.
In this chapter, we’ll create custom song settings from the default settings. First, we’ll select the
necessary Voices and edit them with Voice controls and effects, then we’ll program a Rhythm
Sequence and Registration Sequence especially for the song.
After creating the song settings, try recording y our perf ormance to a SmartMedia card with the M.D.R.
function. The recorded song can be played back easily.
Since going through this chapter in v olves many diff erent operations, take y our time, master eac h step
in turn while you familiarize yourself with the convenient, sophisticated functions of the Electone.

Here is a brief rundown of the seven Registrations you’ ll be using in “Change the W orld.” The acoustic
guitar and electric piano accompaniment form the main part for M1, a rock organ for M2, a sweet
harmonica melody and pad harmony for M3 – M4, a mysterious arpeggio for M5, and an electric guitar
solo for M6. The final, ending Registration, M7, has the same settings as the intro.

About “Change the W orld”

This huge hit spent 13 weeks at #1 on both the Billboard and R&R charts in 1996 and captured three
major Grammy awards in 1997: Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance.
Though “Change the World” is closely identified with both Eric Clapton and Babyface, neither of those
artists wrote the song. Moreover, the three acclaimed songwriters who actually composed the tune,
wrote parts of it in turn and were not even in the same room together! The song was recorded first by
country superstar Wynonna, and eventually found its way to Eric Clapton and Babyface, who
performed and produced it for the soundtrack of the movie “Phenomenon.”

How do go about creating the Registration? Where do you start? — the Voice settings for playing the melody, or

Press the [4] button at the top right of the display, then set the Type to [STAGE 1] and

Helpful Hint

The reverb for this song should be relatively short and minimal, especially since a “dry” percussion
sound better suits the intimate nature of the song. If you want to play a brass sound, a short, tight
reverb is better, too. On the other hand, when playing strings, or an expressive solo instrument, make
the reverb settings deeper and longer to reproduce a larger hall atmosphere and bring out the subtle
nuances of the instrument.

Soft Harmony with Pad Sound
on the Lower Keyboard

Using the M3 Registration as the basis, set Pop Lead for Lead Voice 2 and change the Lower Keyboard Voice 1 to
an ethereal pad sound like an angel singing. We’ll also change the Rhythm Condition here, setting some
accompaniment parts – including guitar backing – to on.

First call up the M3 Registration by pressing the [3] button on the Registration Memory section.

Helpful Hint

If you don’t want to program all of the Registration settings in one session, it is a good idea to save the
Registration settings you’ve created to a SmartMedia card, using the M.D.R. function. Saving your
settings periodically will also help prevent loss of data should you make any mistakes while
programming.
When you want to create a new Registration based on the previously created Registration, first call up
the created Registration (M3, in this case) then record it to the Registration memory number to be re­programmed (M4, in this case). This helps your programming and editing go more smoothly.
