5 Recording MDR Recording This lets you record your performance as a Song to a USB flash drive. A Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator of the Electone outputs the corresponding sound.
4 5 6 7 Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button at the top left on the panel to start the recording. The lamp of the [PLAY/PAUSE] button lights up and a small indicator flashes across from left to right at the bottom left of the LCD display.

ONLY” (Performance Only) button to delete only the performance data.
3 Select the parts for recording. In this case, set the Lower Keyboard (LOWER) and Pedalboard (PEDAL) to “RECORD,” while other parts to “OFF.” PART 1 Page PART 2 Page Each press of the [A] – [C] button corresponding to the desired part in the display toggles the status among PLAY, OFF and RECORD. Turn off the parts you don’t want to record, and make sure “PLAY” is selected for the parts you want to play and “RECORD” for the part you want to record.
If you want to change the part tempo for ease in recording, perform steps 8 and 9; otherwise, skip to step 10. 8 9 Select the TEMPO Page with the Page buttons. Change the playback tempo, if desired. The playback tempo can be set over a range of 50% to 200% of the original. The original recorded tempo is 100%; values less than 100% result in a slower tempo while values greater than 100% result in a faster tempo. Use the [A] button to select the item, then use the DATA CONTROL dial to change the tempo.
Punch-in Recording This lets you re-record over a specific phrase or section—either that of a specific part(s) or all parts. 1 Connect the compatible USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. NOTE This function is best used when the phrase to be rerecorded has definite beginning and end points, with slight pauses before and after. Reference Page 3 4 5 6 7 8 Press the [MDR] button, then select the Song which contains the phrase you want to change.
6 Changing the Song/Folder Name NOTE However, Song names of ELseries Electones, such as the EL-900, cannot be changed. Reference Page Even though the Electone automatically assigns a generic name to each recorded Song, it’s best to give each Song a “meaningful” name, such as an original title or even a date indicating when it was recorded. 1 Compatible USB flash drives (page 127) 2 3 Connect the compatible USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
5 Move the cursor to the desired point by using the [A] buttons. Pressing the [A] button moves the cursor one step to the right, and holding moves the cursor to the right continuously. When the cursor reaches to the end of the name, it will return to the beginning of the name. Cursor Change the character at the cursor position. Replace the current character at the cursor by using the DATA CONTROL dial. Turn it clockwise to select the characters in order, and counter-clockwise for reverse order.
NOTE An XG Song name can contain up to 46 characters. 7 8 9 Repeat steps 5 through step 6 above to finish entering the Song name. Up to 50 characters can be entered. After finishing, press the [D] “EXIT” button. A message appears prompting confirmation of operation. You can cancel the operation at this point by pressing the [D] “CANCEL” button. To actually enter the change, press the [C] “CHANGE” button. The renamed Song/folder is displayed.
7 Saving Registrations You can also record Registration Memory data and other created data, separate from performance recording, as listed below. The data will be saved to a Unit of the selected Song.
4 5 Press the [D] “UNIT” button to call up the UNIT EDIT display. “NEW UNIT” (blank Unit) is selected. Press the [B] “SAVE” button. A message appears, indicating that the Registration data is currently being saved. After the message disappears, the Unit to which the Registration is recorded is automatically named “UNIT 1,” and “SONG XXX” (XXX: number) is assigned as Song name to the destination Song.
3 Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to record the Registrations, then press the [STOP] button before the “00:00” indication is shown at the bottom left of the display. This is the same procedure as the one shown when you start recording. The “00:00” at the bottom left of the display indicates that the MDR is recording the Registrations and being set up for normal recording; pressing the [STOP] button interrupts this process.
4 Press the [D] “UNIT” button to call up the UNIT EDIT display.

4 MIDI This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your Electone. What is MIDI? No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. MIDI Messages of the Electone MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: the Channel Messages and System Messages. Channel Messages consist of data related to the performance on the keyboard for a specific channel.
MIDI Channels MIDI data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 – 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.
5 MIDI Control When you connect your Electone with a second MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or computer), you can determine how the Electone controls that MIDI device, or how the Electone is controlled. To select the MIDI page: 1 2 Press the [UTILITY] button. The Utility display appears. The MIDI Pages are found on Pages 4 – 5. Use the PAGE buttons to select Pages 4 – 5.

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution GENERAL OPERATION The sound is not heard for about 10 seconds after turning the power on. This is normal; the Electone takes a while to start up. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. A cracking noise is sometimes heard.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution When too many keys are pressed, not all of the notes sound. Total polyphonic capacity (notes sounding for both Upper and Lower Keyboards) is 10 notes. Only one sound is heard when two notes of the Lead or Pedal Voices are simultaneously played. For practical performance reasons, the Electone has been designed so that only one note of the Lead or Pedal Voices can be played at a time. The Pedal Voices do not sound, even though the volume is properly set.
Problem Recording or playback cannot be performed. Possible Cause and Solution • The part may have been turned off. Turn the desired part to REC or PLAY in the PART 1 and PART 2 Pages. • The performance data is too large. The maximum limit for recording performance data is 1 MB. • The USB flash drive is write-protected. Cancel the write-protect. Recording is stopped before the performance is finished. • The amount of recorded data on the media is close to the maximum limit.
