ELB-02 Owner’s Manual
Main Features
The Registration Menu buttons feature a total of 601 Registrations, allowing you to instantly set up the
Electone for playing your favorite type of music. The Registrations in Registration Menu are divided into six
basic categories for ease of selection. Moreover, you can edit any of the Registrations and customize them to fit
your own performance needs.
The ELB-02 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Voices—540 altogether—created with the
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system, including special Super Articulation Voices, which
realistically recreate characteristic instrument sounds. With highly playable keyboards featuring authentic
touch response—with Initial Touch and After Touch functions—you can play these Voices with all the
expressiveness and control of an actual acoustic instrument. What’s more, there is a wide variety of effect types
that you can apply to each Voice section—letting you enhance and even completely change the character of the
Voic es.
The exceptionally wide selection of various rhythms lets you choose exactly the rhythm you need in your
performance. Each rhythm contains 15 variations (sections) —such as Main, Fill In, Intro, Ending, and
Break—that you can easily switch while you play, to make your performance even more dynamic and
professional. Each rhythm has its own matching accompaniment divided into five instrument parts, providing
basic backing as well as embellishments.
This powerful feature allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. A wide range of
sounds and drum/percussion kits are available, for performing rhythms in real time. Each sound is assigned to
its own key, and the sounds include everything from conventional kicks and snares to a wide variety of ethnic
and Latin instruments, as well as special sound effects, such as thunder, laughing, animal cries and more.
The Electone also features a Music Data Recorder (MDR) for recording your Registrations and performances
to a USB flash drive, and playing back those performances using the sounds of the Electone. In addition, the
MDR allows you to copy a Song from one USB flash drive to another, letting you archive your important
recordings and Registration data.
You can record your performances as audio data (.WAV) to a USB flash drive. Since the data is saved in stereo
WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit), it can be transmitted to and played on portable
music players by using a computer, allowing you to share your recordings with your friends, and make your
own CDs to enjoy as well.
