XG Easy Converter
This function allows you to convert the EL-400 song data to the XG
format data. You can then play back the data using XG devices and/
or personal computer. Depending on the type of XG devices, sound
may be different from the original data you created.
The contents to be converted:
Voice (Program) number, Volume, Feet (octave settings), Pan, Vibrato, Slide (for the
Lead voices), Initial Touch, Pitch Bend, Effects (Tremolo and Delay), Reverb
(except for Length), Sustain, Rhythm Patterns (except for Accompaniment),
Expression, Registration, Registration Shift (except for Next Song)
To convert the EL-400 data to the XG song data:
1. Insert the disk containing the Electone data into the floppy disk
slot.
2. Select the song to be converted to the XG data.
3. While holding down the top right Data Control buttons press the
RECORD button in the M.D.R. section.
The following message appears to confirm the operation.

The M.D.R. starts playback of the selected song for you to decide
whether you convert it to the XG data, or not. After finishing
playback the following message appears.
5. Press the Data Control buttons corresponding to [Convert].
After the process of the conversion the LCD returns to the
original display.

will be added to the top right side of the display. The converted
song (XG data) will be stored on the XG page and the original
song (Electone data) is left as is.

amount of available memory before the
