Why can't I hear the voice during editing on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If during voice editing on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, the specified voice isn’t heard even when the keyboard is played, the current settings may be preventing the voice from sounding. Ensure that the volume of the voice is set to a suitable level, and adjust the various parameters in the Voice Edit display until the voice can be heard.
How to fix too small sound on Yamaha Electone EL-500 Musical Instrument even with maximum volume?
If the sound is too small even when the volume on your Yamaha Musical Instrument is set to its maximum, check that the Master Volume isn't set too low; turn it clockwise to increase the volume. Also, ensure that the Expression Pedal is fully pressed down with your toe.
Why does volume change when switching voices on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If switching voices on your Yamaha Musical Instrument causes the volume to change even with identical volume settings, it may be because certain voices have a lower volume than others. Adjust the sound balance using the Volume control within the appropriate Voice Condition display.
What to do if Yamaha Electone EL-500 panel malfunctions or data changes?
If the Electone panel on your Yamaha Musical Instrument isn't functioning normally or the memorized data has been altered, it may be due to power surges or spikes from electrical storms. Perform the Power On Reset operation to reset the Electone.
Why is the sound too soft on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If the sound on your Yamaha Musical Instrument is too soft even when the volume is at maximum, check all volume controls to ensure they are set to suitable levels. This includes the panel Volume controls for each voice section, the Master Volume dial, and the Expression Pedal. Also, verify the Upper/Lower Balance control on the Voice Display.
What to do if panel button doesn't open LCD display on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If pressing a panel button on your Yamaha Musical Instrument doesn’t open its related LCD display, the HOLD button may be engaged. Press the HOLD button to cancel the Hold function, then press the button again.
Why doesn't the rhythm sound when I select a dotted button on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If even though a Dotted button’s rhythm has been selected and started, the pattern does not sound on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, no rhythm will sound if a pattern has not been saved to the selected Dotted button, since the Dotted buttons contain User rhythms.
How to understand LED behavior on Yamaha Electone EL-500?
The LEDs of on/off buttons (UPPER/LOWER FLUTE VOICES, VOICE EDIT, RHYTHM PROGRAM, and TREMOLO [FAST]) on your Yamaha Musical Instrument are lit when those functions are turned on. The LEDs of other function’s buttons momentarily flash when the functions are selected.
Why does the rhythm not start at the beginning of my Yamaha Electone EL-500 Musical Instrument recording?
If the rhythm on your Yamaha Musical Instrument does not start at the beginning of a recording or stops in the middle of the performance, it is because the M.D.R. is designed so that the rhythm cannot be started at the very beginning of a recording. If you wish to use the rhythm, start it after the available memory display appears on the M.D.R. display.
Why can't I hear the accompaniment on my Yamaha Electone EL-500?
If the Accompaniment cannot be heard on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, even when an appropriate Accompaniment type is selected and the rhythm has been started, the Accompaniment volume is likely set to 0. Raise the Accompaniment volume on the rhythm condition page.
