Main Features - Yamaha Electone EL-37 Owner's Manual

Main Features

Your Yamaha Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions. Yet it 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:
Astoundingly True-to-life Sounds
The new AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technologies combined with authentic touch
response for individual instrument voices, make this Electone a truly expressive musical instrument.
High-quality Digital Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a full range of high-quality digital effects, including Tremolo (for
reproducing the sound of a rotating speaker), Reverb, and Flanger and Delay. (See page 27.)
Dynamic Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the Electone features authentic drum and percussion sounds, used by expert rhythm
programmers in creating a total of 38 rhythm patterns, ranging across all styles of music. (See page 30.) A
Keyboard Percussion function is also provided for playing the realistic percussion sounds from the Lower
keyboard and Pedalboard. (See page 39.)
Comprehensive Automatic Accompaniment
The Electone is also equipped with various automatic accompaniment functions, including Auto Bass Chord,
Accompaniment and Melody On Chord. (See pages 36, 40.)
Sophisticated Rhythm Pattern and Rhythm Sequence Programming
The Rhythm Pattern Program and Rhythm Sequence Program let you use the realistic Keyboard Percussion
sounds, along with additional percussion sounds on the upper keyboard, to create and record your own rhythm
patterns, then combine them (and the preset rhythms, if you wish) to make complete automatic rhythm tracks.
(See page 68.)
Wide Variety of Registration Menus
The Electone is equipped with convenient Registration Menus that allow you to instantly change all settings for
the entire instrument in real time, as you play! The EL-37 has 120 registrations available on disk. (See page 9.)
Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder
The EL-37 also features a Music Disk Recorder for recording your 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 48.)
