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, 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, 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) 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 ke yboar d — Upper, Lo wer 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.”

Creating the Registration Settings

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

NOTE

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.

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.

bar 14. Since one quarter-note beat equals 96 clocks and half of that is 48 clocks, you would think that
the timing should be “14.3.48.” However, the indication is slightly before that, at “14.3.40.” Similarly,
M5 is indicated as “22.4.90,” not “23.1.0.” The reason behind these anticipated settings is that the
Registration may not have enough time to change all the sounds and settings in time for the
performance, if the change is programmed exactly at the precise point of the intended change.

NOTE

Up to 140 bars of events can be entered to one sequence button (for example, SEQ.1). The rhythm
composition for “Change the World,” consisting of 52 bars, falls well within that one-button limit.
Howev er, you may want to start the song from the middle, or ev en mix up the arr angement diff erently
than what is indicated here. To do that, you can divide the song into its component sections (verse,
chorus, solos, etc.) and then assign each part to a separate SEQ button). For example, you could
assign a single sequence only for the guitar solo (bars 28 – 35). This would mean assigning the
Registration sequence for bars 1 – 27 to the [SEQ.1] button, the sequence for bars 28 – 35 to the
[SEQ.2] button, and that for bars 36 – 52 to the [SEQ.3] button.
In this case, you’ll also need to divide the Registration Sequence into three sequence numbers. Also,
keep in mind when programming that the first measure in each sequence is numbered “1,” no matter
what number measure it actually is in the song.

Now that you’ve done all the necessary programming, you’re ready to play the song.

Press the [SEQ.1] button, then press the RHYTHM [START] button. The Rhythm Sequence composition starts
from the first bar.

No need to use the footswitches. Just start playing and let the Electone do the hard work!

NOTE

At the notes indicated with a “*” mark, press the key and apply both Horizontal Touch (wiggling the
key from side to side) and After Touch. This allows y ou to change the sound of the guitar much as an
actual guitarist would, and makes both the sound and the overall performance sound much more
realistic and expressive.
At the notes marked with “H.Vib,” apply Horizontal Touch to add the vibrato effect. (Horizontal Touch
is available only on the ELS-01C.)

In the last section of this tutorial, you’ll explore the Organ Flutes feature of the ELS-01C and enjoy its
wide variety of wonderful organ sounds.
Depending on the flute footage settings in the display, you can create a solemn pipe organ sound,
tasty jazz organ sound, heavy rock organ sound, and much more.
The footage levers are similar to those on a conventional organ, letting you easily and realistically
recreate traditional, famous organ songs.

Five Registrations are used in “Moldau.” M1 is a solemn classical organ. M2 is a jazz organ for the
section with the jazz waltz arrangement, while M3 and M4 are for the jazz swing part, and M5 is a
powerful rock organ.

About “Moldau”

The 19th century composer Bedrich Smetana is considered the founder of Czech national music. One
of his greatest works, a set of symphonic poems called “My Fatherland,” took him five years to
complete. It is comprised of six parts, the most famous of which is “Moldau” — which is arranged here
for the Electone.

The great river Moldau stretches for 430 kilometers, with its two sources starting in southern Bohemia,
merging and running through the capital Prague — and represents the very heart and soul of the
Czech people. Smetana’s musical portrait of the Moldau provides a dynamic, highly melodic tour
down the river, with a peasant wedding on one side and stately castles on the other. The beginning of
this score brings to life the atmosphere of the original piece, expressing the majestic body of water,
flowing and rushing through the countryside. Times have changed, however, and the old hunting
trumpets and peasant dances have been replaced by jazz groups and rock bands — a complex
image you can use as inspiration when you play this arrangement…

The setting here is one of the most recognizable and representative settings of classical pipe organs, which have a

follow these indications as you play the Electone.

Helpful Hint

The tempo written in the notation is only a rough indication of how the song should be performed. A lot
of the performance depends on “feel.” When you start at section B, play in a relaxed way, and put in
a little pause. In the jazzy arrangement (from Bto E), ride the rhythm and play evenly. At the last bar
of F, after turning off the Rotary Speaker, listen closely for the speed change of the Rotary Speaker
effect. When you feel the rotation stop, shift the Registration to M6. At section G, decrease the tempo.
Finish the song with a loud flourish or bring down the volume and end calmly, as you like. Either
approach will work fine.

This arrangement showcases a variety of different organ sounds and features various dynamic stylistic changes.
Play it with enthusiasm, and above all — enjoy it. You’re now an Electone master!
