Playing the ELS-01/01C — Tutorial 7
ACT 1ACT 2ACT 4 ACT 3
One of the most exciting aspects of the Electone is its abundance of realistic Voices and dynamic
rhythms. For details on exactly what Voices and rhythms are available, check the Voice List and
Rhythm List in the Owner’s Manual (pages 30 and 59). With all the hundreds of choices available, you
may have a difficult time finding which is best for a particular song. That’s where the Registration
Menu comes in handy.
Registration Menu contains 48 Registrations (60 on the ELS-01C) in five main categories: (1) Kids, (2)
Pops & Rock, (3) Dance & Ballad, (4) Jazz & Latin, and (5) Symphony & World. Registration settings in
the Registration Menu include not only the Voices for each keyboard — Upper, Lower and Pedal — but
also the rhythm and Auto Bass Chord settings. This means you can enjoy playing the Electone with
appropriate settings for any style of music or song simply by selecting the desired Registration from
the Registration Menu.
About “Grandfather’s Clock”
This plaintive and poignant folk song was written by Henry Clay Work back in 1876, and was one of
the two most popular songs that year in the United States — the other being “I’ll Take You Home,
Kathleen.” Standing clocks like the one mentioned in the lyrics were a common fixture in homes across
the country, and the image of the clock, as well as the parallel lives of the clock and the old man,
captured the hearts of listeners as much as did the beautiful melody. The song has endured, renewing
its popularity every generation, and has even left us with the word “grandfather clock” — meaning a
standing, tallcase clock.
