Yamaha Electone GX-1 Bedienungsanleitung

GUIDE TO YOUR YAMAHA ELECTONE

Characteristics of the GX-1

Anatural, living sound is obtained by

changing the time relationship of pitch,

tone and volume.

2. When one key is pressed in the Upper or

Lower Manual or in Pedal board, acom-

bination of two tones is obtained. The

tone generators, however, work inde-

pendently and anatural, rich harmonious

sound fills the place.

3. Asingle tone module spans awide range

of tones, replacing the conventional tone

levers that have fixed sounds of flute,

strings, etc. Once tone modules are set,

the player can obtain any desired tone,

simply by pressing the tone selector. In

addition, the tone modules' settings can

be changed at will to suit the player's

own taste and musical concepts.

4. This new system leads you into

unexplored realms of expression.

5. Controls activated at the touch of a

finger encompass awhole gamut of

mechanism, giving you the greatest ease

and freedom in your musical expression.

6. The acoustical cabinet was developed

simultaneously to amplify the Natural

Sound with the utmost fidelity.

Conceived for theaters and similar uses,

the GX-1 electronic organ is the finest

Electone Yamaha has developed. Using the

most advanced electronic technology, toge-

ther with the inventiveness and precision

that have given birth to the world's most

outstanding musical instruments, Yamaha

has now created the GX-1

Aunique system produces Natural Sound,

with that full, resonant tone essential to the

music the new generations want to hear.

Both composers and performing artists will

find the GX-1 tailored to their personal

styles and most complex demands.

HOW TO MOUNT THE PEDAL BOARD

The GX-Ts Pedal Board is aself-contained unit, and, as

such, it can be dismounted. The following precautions

should be observed when dismounting or mounting the

Pedal Board.

1. It must always be carried by 2persons and under no

circumstances should any extraordinary force be used.

2. When mounting, follow the direction of the. arrow in the

illustration shown while lifting it alittle with asmooth,

sliding motion.

3. When dismounting, lift slightly at first and then draw it

out.

TO ADJUST THE SEAT

The Seat of the GX-1 is an inseparable part of the Pedal

Board cover. It can be moved back and forth or up and

down to the ideal position for playing.

TO MOVE IT UP AND DOWN

Sit lightly on the seat, and lift the handle under the seat

plank to move it up. If you put more weight on the seat

while holding this handle up, the seat will be lowered.

Once the right position has been found, the seat will remain

there if the handle is relased.

TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH

By loosening the screw of the adjustment bolt under the

seat plank, the seat can be moved into the desired position

by sliding it; then tighten the screw to prevent further

movement.

The GX-1 Tone Generators

PORTAMENTO KEYBOARD

This keyboard is astrip covering three continuous octaves changing pitch according to the place where

pressure is exerted. By asliding method, this portamento keyboard can lengthen and change pitch.

And since it is coupled to the solo keyboard, the full potential of the solo keyboard can be utilized.

When the solo keyboard is pressed simultaneously, the portamento keyboard prevails.

SOLO KEYBOARD

The solo keyboard has the same width as the Upper and Lower manuals. It has one monotone tone

generator for each tone quality. tone module

UPPER AND LOWER MANUALS

As each manual is connected to two tone generators, sounds from the upper and lower manuals result

from 16 tone generators, 8from row Iand 8from row II. Therefore, by exerting pressure on the key-

boards simultaneously, up to 8chords can be obtained. Moreover, two tone qualities can be mixed.

PEDAL KEYBOARD

The pedal keyboard produces monotone sounds, but because they are made from three tone genera-

tors, one from row Iand two from row II, the bass sound created is extremely stable. Moreover, two

tone qualities can be mixed. (By setting the 2and 4of the tone

selector, the tone qualities of num-

ber 2in row 1(contrabass) and TONE MODULE

number 4in row 11(tuba) are "PEDAL"

PITCH BEND

Thanks to this effect, when akey is pressed, pitch automatically and immedi

ately becomes lower, and at the end of the set time, returns to its original

position. The length of time required for pitch to change and then return to its

original position is preset. The degree to which pitch is lowered is also preset.

COUPLER

This lever permits more versatile performance by adding the tone colors from

one manual to the notes played on another. For example, "L to U" adds tone

selected for the lower manual to all notes played on the upper manual.

SUSTAIN

This effect produces atrailing-note sound. If the lever is set all the way up, the

decay time will be zero and therefore no sustain effect will occur unless the

sustain effect has already been properly entered with the preset tone. Decay

time is increased as the lever is pressed downwards.

OVERTONE

Preset tones have two rows of tone generators, and Overtone sets the pitch for

both of them. The number "1" in this Overtone indicates the 16' of the con-

ventional electone's harmonics (other equivalents are: 2=8', 4=4', and 8=2'.)

This Overtone plays an important role in setting the sounds you produce with

the GX-1 ,and you will find many ways to use it successfully.
