Your Yamaha Electone is pac ked 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 tone function, make
the EL-27 a truly expressive musical instrument.
Wide Range of Voice Controls and Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a variety of v oice controls and
effects, including octa ve settings, Touch Tone, Symphonic/Celesta, Vibrato,
Reverb, and Sustain. (See page 24.)
Dynamic Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the EL-27 f eatures authentic drum and percussion
sounds, accompanied with conv enient Accompaniment functions. (See
page 31.)
A Keyboard Percussion function is also provided for playing the realistic
percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard and Pedalboard. (See page
43.)
Wide Variety of Registration Menus
Your Electone also has convenient Registration Men us that allow you to
instantly change all settings for the entire instrument in real time, as you
play. (See page 10.)
Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder
The Electone also features a Music Disk Recorder f or recording your
performances. The recording is completely digital and is stored to disk,
which means that no matter how many times you play back the recording, it
will always sound exactly the same as the original performance. (See page
55.)

No matter what your level of pla ying experience, we recommend that you take the time to go
through this basic section. It shows y ou 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 adv anced features.
1. Getting Started
Once you've set up y our Electone and plugged the power cord into an
electrical outlet, you're ready to get started and play.
1. Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER switch.
When you turn on the Electone, the following displays will appear in
succession on the LCD:
Yamaha products are
manufactured specifically
for the supply voltage in the
area where they are to be sold. If
you should move, or if any doubt
exists about the supply voltage,
please consult with a qualified
technician.
This last display (Voice Display) shows the currently assigned voice settings
for each voice section of the instrument, with the abbreviation for each v oice
section beside the voice name: Upper (£), Lower (¢), Lead (¢™), and
Pedalboard (¡).
Turning the Electone off erases all panel settings you have made. When the Electone is turned on, Basic
Registration 1 is automatically selected. If you have made panel settings you wish to keep, save them to
Registration Memory (see page 47.) 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.

The MASTER VOLUME control is an overall control which affects the
volume of the entire instrument.
3. Press the Expression pedal down with your foot.
The Expression pedal also controls the entire volume of the Electone. Once
you hav e 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 halfwa y point.
2. Playing Your Electone
The Electone includes convenient Registrations that let you completely and instantly change the voices
and other settings for all of the keyboards, ev en as you play. Each registration is pre-programmed to be
used for a specific music style or instrumental combination.
●Basic Registrations
The Basic Registration section has five factory preset registrations, each
with a different set of voices for the Upper/Lower keyboards and Pedalboard
and each specially suited for pla ying in a different music style.
When you turn the Electone 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.

The chart below lists the voices that have been set for the Upper/Lower keyboards and Pedalboard in
In addition to the Basic Registrations, many more registrations are available on y our Electone. Some of
the registrations include voice and rhythm/accompaniment selections. With the variety of registrations
availab le, you're certain to find the right registration that perfectly suits any style of music you play.
The EL-27 is equipped with a total of 80 specially programmed registrations, selected with the built-in
Registration Menu button on the panel, as well as the 40 registr ations selected from the included
Registration Menu disk. Refer to the Registr ation Menu List on page 15.
To select a registration from the built-in Registration Menu:
For e xample, let's select an appropriate registration (Waltz-A) f or the "Skaters Waltzes" (Basic
Regisatrtion 1).
1. Press the REGIST. MENU button in the DISPLAY SELECT
section.
2. From the display that appears, select the desired
page.
The top right PAGE buttons select the next or previous page.
(In this case, select page 3.)

the registration you want to use. (In this case, select
Waltz-A [No.13].)
The bottom left DAT A CONTROL buttons step through the various
selections, while the top left DATA CONTROL buttons are used to jump
ahead or back by ten selections.
4. Finally, call up the selected registration by pressing
the right DATA CONTROL buttons, selecting SET (Waltz-A
[No.13] here, for example.).
The message "Completed...!!" will be instantly indicated in the display,
meaning that the registration menu indicated in the display has been set.
The DATA CONTROL buttons are generally used to select voice and rhythms, and are also used as
described above. The left button of a DATA CONTROL button pair is usually used in a "negative" fashion –
for instance, to decrease a value, or select a previous setting or position. The right button is used in a
"positive" fashion – to increase a value, or select the next setting or position.
To Start the Rhythm:
5. Once you've selected a registration, press the START
button in the RHYTHM section.
This step starts up a rhythm pattern appropriate to the music style you have
selected. (To turn the pattern off, press the START button again.)
Some of the registrations in
the Registration Menu section
may not have assigned rhythm and
automatic accompaniment patterns.
See a chart included with this manual
that provides a list of all the available
music styles, along with the rhythm
patterns used. (See page 15.)

TEMPO dial, as indicated in the illustration below. T urning the dial clockwise
makes the tempo faster and counterclockwise makes slower.
To use Auto Bass Chord function:
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 in pages 3, 4 and 5 of the
Registration Menu. They allow you to add sophisticated bass and chord accompaniment patterns that suit
the music, simply by playing chords on the Lower keyboard.
6. Press the chord "C"on the Lower keyboard. (Try the
chord shown in the illustration on the right.)
This function provides automatic accompaniment specially tailored for the
music style in which you pla y. Notice that ev en after you release your fingers
from the keyboard, the chord and accompaniment patterns continue to
sound. For more details on A.B.C., see page 41.
Now return to the first five written music examples in the Basic Registrations
section above (see page 9). Select the registration indicated at the top right
of the score (for e xample, "13: Waltz-A" in the first song). Refer back to the
steps on selecting registrations above (see page 10.) if necessary.
7. 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.
Now that you'v e 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 ke y once and the
automatic accompaniment will continue until you press the ne xt key.
If you have unintentionally
changed the display by
pressing a button on the panel, return
to Step #1 above (pressing the
REGIST. MENU button) to return to the
Registration Menu.

8. Press the A.B.C./M.O.C. button in the DISPLAY SELECT
section, to the right of the LCD Display.
9. Press one of the bottom left DATA CONTROL buttons
repeatedly until "OFF" appears below ABC on the LCD.
10 . Turn the Memory function off as well by using the
bottom right DATA CONTROL buttons.
A solid or dark box on the LCD indicates that the function is on; an empty or
outlined box indicates that the function is off. Make sure the boxes next to L
(Lower) and P (Pedal) are both off, as shown in the example LCD above.
This short introductory section has shown you just a small portion of the
vast potential of your Electone . Now that you know how to select among the
Registrations and use the A.B.C . Automatic Accompaniment, take some
time to explore the other registrations and their rhythm patterns. There's a
great wealth of realistic voices , authentic orchestration and stylistically
varied rhythms – all instantly available from the Registration Menus feature.
Before going on to explore the
remaining sections of this manual, we
suggest that you turn the A.B.C.
automatic accompaniment and
memory functions off. Otherwise,
single notes played on the Lower
keyboard will sound as full chords,
and the Pedal voices will not sound
when playing the Pedalboard. To
keep this from happening, select the
OFF setting in A.B.C. and press the
buttons that correspond to LOWER
and PEDAL in the display to turn
memory off.
As in the operation described
above, the DATA CONTROL
buttons are also used simply to turn
functions on and off.
Press the Registration Menu
buttons in the DISPLAY

registration menu on the LCD.

3. Selecting Additional Voices – Dotted Buttons
and User Voices
The EL-27 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:
! For playing any voice of the Voice Menus from any of the keyboards
or Pedalboard.
You can play on the Upper ke yboard, for example, voices from the twentytwo 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 f eature is that when the normally
monophonic (one note) Lead and Pedal voices are assigned to the Upper or
Lower ke yboard 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.
" For having three different voices from the same Voice Menu page
available f or selection in the same song.
For e xample, you can assign one of the voices to a dotted b utton 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.

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, suc h as the volume or octave (footage)
settings, or enhance the sound of the voices, such as with Reverb or Tremolo. They are divided
into two groups: 1) The contr ols/effects selected on the Voice Condition pages. 2) The effects set
by the panel buttons.
Each voice has been given certain factory-preset settings to best enhance its sound. However,
you can also change the settings to suit your pref erences by using the controls described in this
section.

Choose a voice on the panel, then press that v oice's panel button
