Large, 7.0-inch TFT-LCD with Intuitive Touch Panel Operation page 14
This large LCD display not only lets you clearly see a wide selection of settings and parameters at almost any angle, it
also serves as a touch control panel — letting you intuitively make selections and adjust settings simply by touching
the screen! Once you touch a setting, you can even adjust it in finer detail if necessary with the Data Control dial.
Audio Recording page 132
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.
The ELS-02/ELS-02C is compatible with the following formats.
GM (General MIDI) is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. GM System Level 2 is a
standard specification that enhances the original GM and improves Song data compatibility.
It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and
integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha
specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and
effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality
and open-ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an
XF file containing lyric data is played.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major
enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well
as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.
The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single unified
format.
