Sitting and playing the Electone
Sitting
Proper posture and position is important! As a rule of thumb, sit on the bench so that your
‘belly button’ is roughly in line with the central “E” key on the Lower keyboard.
e pedal under your right foot is called the
“Expression Pedal,” and is used to adjust the
instrument volume. As with the gas pedal on a
car, pressing the pedal changes the angle, and
with it, the “power.” Pressing the pedal down
gives you more volume, and letting up on it
lessens the volume. Be careful to keep your
original posture when you use the pedal, since
moving the pedal with your foot may throw your
body slightly o balance and aect your playing.
Expression Pedal
Gently rest
your foot.
Put your right hand on the
Upper Keyboard.
Put your left hand on
the Lower Keyboard.
Put your right foot on
the pedal in the back.
Put your left foot on
the Pedalboard.
This is the Upper
Keyboard.
This is the Lower
Keyboard.
Make sure your back is straight and you
support your weight with your abdominal
muscles—yet don’t be too tight.
Relax your shoulders, too. You’re going to
have fun!

function very oen. However, it may come in handy from time to time, such as when you
create new data. Let’s learn how to do this before we start anything else.

2 While holding down the ENDING [1] button, turn the power back on.
3 After the startup display on the center panel is shown, release your
nger from the ENDING [1] button. Now, with the ELB-02 at its default

In this setup, we can see that “Strings 1” is set
for Upper Keyboard Voice 1, “Piano 1” for Lower
Keyboard Voice 1 and “FingrBass 1” for Pedal
Voice 1.
* “Violin 1” is selected for Lead Voice 1, but will not sound
since the status is set to OFF.

and no sound will be produced from them.
When you play the keys, these Voice sections 1 and 2 will sound simultaneously (if Voices in both
sections are set to ON).
You can switch display pages by using the Page
