Main Features
Your Yamaha Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions. Yet is amazingly
easy to use. The main features are briefly described here so that you can quickly
understand the capabilities of your Electone.
Included among the main features are:
1 Astoundingly True-to-life Sounds
The new AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) and FM (Frequency Modulation) tone generation
technologies combined with authentic touch response for individual instrument voices, make
this Electone a truly expressive musical instrument. (See page 22.)
2 Limitless Variety of Organ Sounds
The Electone also has separate voice sections that feature classic organ sounds-from jazz
and pop to church and theater-and lets you easily create your own organ sounds by adjusting
the volumes of the various flute footages. (See page 32.)
3 Original Voice Creation
The Electone also provides easy-to-use voice editing tools for manipulating the sophisticated
AWM and FM tone generation technologies, allowing you to create your own original
Electone voices. (See page 88.)
4 Dynamic and Programmable Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the Electone features authentic drum and percussion sounds, used
by expert rhythm programmers in creating a total of 66 rhythm patterns, ranging across all
styles of music. (See page 49.)
Along with the Keyboard Percussion function, which lets you play percussion sounds from
the keyboard, the Rhythm Pattern Programmer and Rhythm Sequence Programmer let you
record your own rhythm patterns and connect them to make songs. (See page 108.)
5 Wide Variety of Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a full range of high-quality effects, ranging from
Tremolo (for reproducing the sound of a rotating speaker) and Reverb to Flanger and Delay.
(See page 36.)
6 Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder
The Electone also features a Music Disk Recorder for recording your registrations and
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 68.)
7Large LCD for Systematic, Intuitive Operation
The large LCD display provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control over virtually
all of the operations of the Electone. (See page 16.)

1Getting Started
1Plug the power cord in to an appropriate electrical outlet.
1Quick Introductory Guide
Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in
your life, we recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you 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 advanced
features.
2Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER switch.
When you turn on the Electone, the following displays will
appear one after the other in the LCD display:
This last display shows the currently assigned voice settings for
each voice section, as well as the overall balance between the
Upper and Lower voices.
When the Electone is turned on, Basic Registration 1 is
automatically selected.
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.

7
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 p. 62) before turning the Electone off.
You can, however, restore the panel settings that were made before
the Electone was last turned off. See page 67 for more information.
3Set the MASTER VOLUME control.
The MASTER VOLUME control is an overall control which
affects the volume of the entire instrument.
4Press the Expression pedal down with your foot.
Once you have 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.
2Basic 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 playing in a different
music style.
To select Basic Registrations:
When you turn the power on, the Electone automatically selects Basic
Registration 1. Press the BASIC REGIST. buttons to select each Basic
Registration.
The chart below lists the voices that have been set for the Upper/Lower
keyboards and Pedalboard in each of the five Basic Registrations.

8
2Press the Page button to select the various menu "pages" of
registrations available on the disk.
When the page numbers are displayed at the top right corner,
you can select the pages by pressing the Page buttons, [>] to
select next page and [<] to select previous page.
NOTE:
See page 68 for more information on the
Music Disk Recorder.
NOTE:
See page 10 for the complete list of the
Registration Menus.
NOTE:
While you are in the Voice Edit mode or
Rhythm Pattern/Sequence Program
mode, the Registration Menus cannot be
displayed on the LCD.
3Registration Menu Disk
The Electone includes convenient Registrations that let you
completely and instantly change the voices and other settings for
all of the keyboards, even as you play. Each registration is pre-
programmed to be used for a specific music style or instrumental
combination.
Included with your Electone is a Registration Menu Disk. The
disk is packed with 80 different types of registrations, including
voice and rhythm selections. Each registration is pre-programmed
to be used for a specific music style or instrumental combination.
To select registrations from the Registration Menu Disk:
1Put the included Registration Menu Disk (with the label of the
disk facing upward and the sliding shutter facing forward) into
the Disk slot, located just under the Music Disk Recorder at the
right side of the Electone.
Once you've securely inserted the disk into the slot, the LCD
Display on the panel will automatically change to show the
available Registration Menus.
There are dozens of registrations on a disk, but up to 16 can
only be shown in the LCD Display at a time.
The page numbers 1 through 5 shown at the top right corner of
the LCD indicate this Registration Menu Disk contains five
pages.

9
3Select one of the registrations shown on the LCD by pressing
the appropriate Data Control button.
Up to 16 registration selections are shown on the LCD, and the
16 Data Control buttons correspond to those selections.
The Data Control buttons are used to select voices, rhythms
and various functions. They are also used to raise or lower
volumes and levels, as well as move the cursor up and down,
right and left.
NOTE:
Inadvertently pressing another button on
the panel may change the content of the
LCD during the Registration Menu
operation. In this case press PLAY button
on the Music Disk Recorder section, to
retrieve the Registration Menu display.
