Cautions (To be Read before You Start Playing)
Always treat your Electone Organ with the same care
you would any fine musical instrument. The follow-
ing points are suggested to ensure the best perform-
ance of the Electone Organ.
Check for correct power voltage. Consult your
Yamaha serviceman regarding any changes.
As to the British-Standard model, information is
provided in 'Specifications' on the last page.
Your Electone contains no user serviceable
components. Refer all service to qualified
service technicians only.
Always turn the power switch OFF after play-
ing. This Electone Organ sliding lid contains a
switch. Even if you forget to turn off the power
switch, just close the lid and the power is automati-
cally switched off.
Clean the Electone Organ cabinet with a damp
cloth containing a neutral cleaning agent.
Use only soft and dry cloth on the keyboards.
Never use paint thinner, alcohol or other chemicals
on either the keys or the cabinet.
Keep the Electone Organ in a position away
from direct sunlight, excess humidity and heat
to protect the cabinet finish.
Do not hit or scratch the cabinet with a hard
object.
Do not set heavy objects on the rolltop fall-
board.
The finish on your Electone Organ may under-
go a chemical reaction if placed in direct
contact with polyvinyl products. Do not set vinyl
items on the surface or use polyvinyl material to
cover the organ for any extended period of time.

Setting
the
Tone
Levers
The tone levers are located at the very top. They are
used to produce the tone color of your preference.
The sound level can be adjusted as required with
these tone levers and to facilitate adjustment, each
lever has three click-stop positions. You can add
greater expression to tunes by combining a number of
these levers, rather than producing a tone color with
just one lever. Try out a number of combinations and
see for yourself.

What's 16’, 8', 4’... . all about?
16’, 8', 4’ and so on indicate musical intervals. The
Electone’s musical scale is based on an 8“ tone which
corresponds to the musical intervals in the score.
16’ is the tone of one octave below 8’.
4' is the tone of one octave above 8’. (Refer to page 3)

For instance, when 16', 8' and 4' are struck
simultaneously, three notes, each of a different
octave, will be sounded at the same time despite the
fact that only one key is depressed. (This is known as
the coupler effect.)
You can give your music a great deal of expression if
you use this effect to advantage. Take a look at the
table and familiarize yourself with it.

Preset tones
By operating one of these three levers, it is possible to

What's “Brilliance” all about?
As this lever is pulled downward, the sound takes on
more and more brilliance. This is particularly effec-
tive with reed instruments (clarinet, tenor saxophone,
etc.) and with stringed instruments (violin, viola, etc.)
when added to their tone color.
The pedal keys, the solo keys and the tremolo are
uneffected by the brilliance lever.
What's
"attack
length"
all
about?
The decay time of the attack sound becomes longer
as this lever is pulled down when you are playing one
or more of the upper keyboard's attack voices (i.e.,
4', 2-2/3' or 2").

What's "vibrato"' all about?
This is an effect which makes the sound vibrate by
moving the pitch of the sound by a fraction. With
stringed instruments, this rapid regular fluctuation
can be produced by the fingers and with wind in-
struments by the lips. The vibrato function allows the
Electone Organ to yield exactly the same effect.
In fact, this Electone organ can produce two types of
vibrato effect with the delay and depth levers.
(1) Ordinary vibrato
The vibrato effect is produced by pulling the
depth lever down. The variation in the sound can
be controlled with this lever.
9 There will no vibrato effect unless the depth
lever is pulled down.
@ Ihe speed of the vibrato can be controlled
with the speed lever. As this lever is pulled
down, the vibrato speed increases.

MASTER VOLUME
(2) Delay vibrato
When keys on the upper keyboard are depressed,
the vibrato effect is produced after a short delay
instead of immediately.
The delay effect is produced when the depth
lever is pulled down, the delay lever is moved
downward and the keys on the upper keyboard
are depressed. The delay time increases (time
until the vibrato effect is produced) as the delay
lever is moved downward.
* The delay effect produced by the upper key-
board keys affects the lower keyboard and
pedal keyboard vibrato.

As its name indicates, the solo keyboard contains the
keys for playing the main melody of a tune. In
particular, it features a synthesizer system to
reproduce faithfully the characteristic tone colors of
various instruments. In effect, this keyboard comes
with a number of special functions.
