Welcome to the world of the Electone!
This instrument features various realistic instrumental Voices from all over
the world, including piano, organ, guitar, strings, brass, wind instruments
and more. You can play each of the Upper Keyboard, Lower Keyboard,
and Pedalboard in different Voices to layer them.
Super Articulation Voices (page 37)
Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate characteristic instrument
sounds, such as the sound of finger slides on guitar and the breath
noises of saxophone, simply by how you play or by pressing a
Footswitch.
Organ Flutes (page 38)
You can create your original organ sounds by adjusting the footage lever, just like on traditional organs.
This instrument provides you with a wide variety of rhythm patterns or
accompaniment Styles that matches the various music genres. Simply
playing chords automatically triggers and controls the auto
accompaniment backing, and puts an entire backing band behind you!
You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly selecting different
rhythm variations and breaks in real time—including Intro, Ending, and
Fill-in—during your performance.
Unison & Accent (page 50)
With the Unison function, you can play a melody, and have it reproduced in unison (i.e., the same melody is
played by multiple instruments) or tutti (i.e., all parts are played at the same time)—expressively enhancing
your performance. With the Accent function, accents such as crash cymbals are automatically generated in the
Style playback according to your playing strength.
By connecting a microphone, you can hear your vocals through the built-
in speakers, and can also record them with high sound quality. Moreover,
since the lyrics (page 66) or music scores (page 65) of the Song are
shown on the display, you can easily enjoy singing along with your
keyboard performance or Song playback.
