Playing the ELS-01/01C — Tutorial
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.
ACT 1 Page 6 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 you’re unfamiliar with the score, try slowing down the rhythm and playing it at a more relaxed pace. Enjoy performing with the clear oboe melody and the beautiful strings harmony.
ACT 3 Page 24 Selecting and Editing Voices Working with Rhythm Sequence and Registration Sequence Song: “Change the World” 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.

ACT 1 ACT 2 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.

M 1 Creating a Simple Intro Sound based on the Registration Menu 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. ACT 1 1 Press the REGISTRATION MENU [3] button.
4 Press the [VOICE DISPLAY] button, to call up the Voice Display, then mute both Lead Voice 1 and Lead Voice 2. (Press the buttons so they are grayed-out or “ghosted.”) A.B.C. M.O.C.

ACT 1 ACT 3 ACT 2 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.

If you want to play a brass sound, a short, tight reverb is better, too.

M 2 Classic Rock Organ Using the M1 Registration as a basis, make M2 by changing the Lower Keyboard Voice setting. The “Resonance Pad 5” Voice we’ll set here for Lower Keyboard Voice 1 is a unique sound that includes an interval of a fifth, making chords played on the Lower Keyboard sound rich and mysterious.
M 3 Sweet Harmonica Melody Using the M1 Registration as the basis, set Harmonica for Lead Voice 1. ACT 1 First, call up the M1 Registration by pressing the [1] button on the Registration Memory section, then set the volume of the Upper Keyboard Voice 1 to 0.
The “User” setting of Vibrato allows you to create your original vibrato by changing the vibrato delay, depth and speed. The Tune setting, set higher than other Voices, makes the Harmonica stand out. The Delay effect lends an echo to the sound as if the instrument is being played in a hall. ACT 1 This completes the LEAD VOICE 1 settings. LEAD VOICE 2 is not going to be used in this Registration, so check that its volume is set to 0.
M 4 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. ACT 1 First call up the M3 Registration by pressing the [3] button on the Registration Memory section.
2 Make the appropriate Voice Condition settings for Pop Lead 6. Change the Voice Condition settings in display Pages 1 – 4 and the Brilliance setting according to the following chart. Settings/values that should be changed are highlighted in color.
