Quick Introductory Guide; Getting Started - Yamaha Electone EL-37 Owner's Manual

1. Quick 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.

Getting Started

1.
Plug the power cord in to an appropriate
electrical outlet.
2.
Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER
switch
When you turn on the Electone, the following displays will appear in
succession on the LCD:
YAMAHA Electone
£Strings
¢Strings
This last display, Voice Display, shows the currently assigned voice settings
for each voice section of the instrument, with the abbreviation for each voice
section beside the voice name: Upper (£), Lower (¢), Lead (¢™), and
Pedalboard (¡).
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 page 42.) before turning the Electone off. You can, however, restore the panel
settings that were made before the Electone was last turned off. In doing this, first be careful NOT to press
any panel buttons (excepting those in Basic Registration) after you turn the Electone back on. Then, to
restore the previous settings, hold down the M (Memory) button and press the D (Disable) button.
