YAMAHA ELS-03XR ELECTONE WITH BENCH

Nine sliders let you control the volume and brilliance of each Voice section and adjust the organ flute footage. You can also assign functions to each slider to suit your own preferences, giving you custom control over your performance.

Move the sliders a little or a lot to produce everything from subtle changes to dynamic transitions. The unique flexibility sliders offer—such as controlling multiple sliders at once—allows you to bring more freedom and expression to your playing.

The two expression pedals and the footswitches allow you to assign various functions in addition to the conventional volume control and pitch bend capability. Being able to operate them with your feet while playing with both hands greatly expands your expressive range.

In addition to timbre and pitch, you can use the LFO to adjust volume, pitch, and filtering. This allows a broader range of variation and lets you change the timbre and modulation in real time as you play. The strength of your touch on the keys lets you bring out the rich expressiveness of acoustic instruments or craft more distinctive synth sounds.

Yamaha’s new FSX-i keyboards detect the pressure applied to individual keys. This means that you can control After Touch effects on each key with each finger, even when playing multiple notes at once.

For example, in a guitar voice, you can apply vibrato to the melody alone, while holding other notes in a chord. In strings voices, you can dig into the subtler nuances of a string ensemble. And in synth voices, you can adjust the pressure on different notes in a chord to create incredibly mellow sounds. This feature does more than make acoustic instrument voices sound more realistic—it also reflects your sensitivities in greater detail and depth.
