Yamaha Electone EL-27 Owner's Manual - 1 Quick Introductory Guide
1 Quick Introductory Guide
No matter what your level of playing experience, 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.
1. Getting Started
Once you've set up your Electone and plugged the power cord into an
electrical outlet, you're ready to get started and play.
1.
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:
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 47.) 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.
