somewhat different from the displays which appear on

your instrument.

Die in dieser Bedienungsanleitung gezeigten

Meldungen auf dem LCD (Display) dienen lediglich

der Information und können sich von denen

unterscheiden, die tatsächlich auf dem Display Ihres

Instruments erscheinen.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a

finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the

key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power

and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected

by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from

the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in

the instrument overheating.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If

you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-

circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If

it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have

it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden

loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke

should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the

outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or

roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the

power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold

or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,

radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect

proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally

falling over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not

place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the

panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Main Features

Your Yamaha AR-80 Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions, yet is

amazingly easy to use. The main features are briefly described here (along with

page references) so that you can quickly understand the capabilities of the

Electone.

Astoundingly True-to-life Sounds

The new AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technology gives you 148

exceptionally realistic and natural-sounding Voices. The AR-80 also has special Voice sets for

XG, GM (General MIDI) and DOC (Disk Orchestra) song data. To make sure you’re never at a

loss for notes, the AR-80 has an amazingly large 128-note polyphonic capacity. What’s more,

the touch response built into the keyboards provides full expressive control over the Voices. (See

page 15.)

Variety of Organ Sounds

The Flute/Tibia and Extra Voice sections (page 26) give you access to a wide variety of

conventional and traditional organ sounds — from jazz and pop to church and theatre.

Instant Registration Changes

The extensive Registration Menu section of the AR-80 gives you instant access to 288 different

Registrations, covering a broad range of musical styles. Each Registration features complete

Voice and Style (rhythm/accompaniment) settings to perfectly match the type of music. (See

page 9.) Moreover, twelve Registration Memory panel buttons let you store your own custom

Registrations and call them up instantly as you perform. (See page 73.)

Original Voice Creation

The Voice Edit feature provides simple, easy-to-use voice editing tools for creating your own

original Electone Voices. (See page 114.)

Dynamic, Realistic Automatic Accompaniment

The Style section of the AR-80 features 160 specially programmed rhythm and accompaniment

patterns — in a wide variety of musical genres. (See page 45.) The A.B.C. (Auto Bass Chord)

gives you full, exciting instrumental backing — just like a real band — that automatically

changes bass and chords according to the chords (and pedal notes) you play. (See page 55.)

Plus, the Keyboard Percussion lets you assign and play the realistic drum and percussion sounds

from the keyboard. (See page 61.)

L.M. Split

This special function lets you assign different Voices to assignable left and right sides of the

Lower keyboard, effectively giving you a “third” keyboard. (See page 71.)

Accompaniment Program and Sequence Program

The powerful Accompaniment Program function lets you create your own User Styles

(accompaniment patterns) — including drum/percussion, bass, chord, pad and phrase parts.

Each Style you create can have different Intro, Main A and B, Fill In, and Ending patterns. (See

page 122.)

The Sequence Program function lets you connect your original User Styles together with the

preset Styles to create up to four complete rhythm/accompaniment tracks, which you can

automatically play back during your performance. Naturally, you can use the A.B.C. automatic

accompaniment features with these Style sequences as well. (See page 145.)

Wide Variety of Digital Effects

The AR-80 Voices can also be enhanced with a full range of high-quality effects, including

Tremolo (for reproducing rotating speaker sounds), Symphonic/Celeste, Flanger, Delay, Reverb,

and Sustain. (See page 32.)

Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder

The AR-80 also features a Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.) for recording your Registrations and

performances. The recording is completely digital and is stored to disk, which means you can

edit it to your liking at any time, and no matter how many times you play it back, it will always

sound exactly as you originally performed it. (See page 83.)

The M.D.R. can play a wide variety of commercially available song disks, including XG and

DOC (Disk Orchestra). (See pages 102, 104.)

Large Custom Display

The large LCD display (along with the dedicated buttons that surround it) provides

comprehensive and easy-to-understand control over virtually all of the AR-80’s operations. (See

page 11.)

Introductory Guide

Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in

your life, we recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you in the

simplest possible manner how to start playing your AR-80. It also introduces you to some of the

basic operations and functions that will come in handy when you later use the AR-80’s more

advanced features.

Getting Started

1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical

outlet.

2. Turn on the Electone by pressing the POWER

switch.

After a brief greeting display, the Voice Display automatically appears.

The Voice Display shows information on many important settings for the instrument, including

all Voice sections, current Style and Transpose settings, and the currently played chord in the

Lower keyboard. It also provides direct access to volume and pan settings. (See page 23 for

more information.)

POWER

Yamaha products are

manufactured specifically for

the supply voltage in the area

where they are to be sold. If you

should move, or if any doubt

exists about the supply voltage,

please consult with a qualified

technician.

CAUTION

A “Recall Panel” Menu briefly

appears at the left side of the

display after you turn on the

AR-80. Selecting this restores

the settings last made to the

Electone before it was turned

off. (For more information, see

page 80.)

7

3. Set the MASTER VOLUME control.

The MASTER VOLUME control is an overall control which affects the volume of the entire

instrument.

4. Press the Expression pedal down with your foot.

Once you have set the MASTER VOLUME control to a suitable level, you can use the Expression

pedal to change the volume with your foot as you play.

Playing the Demo Songs

Before you start playing your new AR-80, you’ll probably want to hear what the instrument is truly

capable of doing. For this purpose, the AR-80 features a variety of special Demo Songs that showcase

the dynamic Voices and Styles of the instrument. There are a total of 18 Demo Songs, each recorded

in a different music style, and each corresponding to the 18 music styles of the Registration Menu.

Though the Demo Songs are a wonderful introduction to the instrument for those just starting out, we

suggest you listen to the Demo Songs from time to time. No matter what your level of Electone

expertise, you’ll find them to be a continuing source of inspiration for ways to best use and perform

on your new AR-80.

To select and play a Demo Song or Songs:

1. Press the DEMO button, located at the top right of the front panel.

Within several seconds, the AR-80 automatically starts playing all Demo Songs in order, and the

entire Demo repeats indefinitely.

You can use the Data Control buttons (below the corresponding functions in the display) to

turn Repeat on/off, or change the Demo Song mode — ALL (all Songs in order), RANDOM (all

Songs at random), or SINGLE (a single selected Song).

2. To stop Demo play back and quit the Demo function, press the DEMO

button again.

Alternately, you can both stop playback and quit the Demo function simultaneously by pressing

the currently lit REGISTRATION MENU button (during playback).

Registration Menu

The next place to continue your explorations of the AR-80 is the Registration Menu. This section

features a total of 288 preset Registrations, created to suit a wide variety of music styles. You’ve already

heard some of these Registrations in action when you listened to the special Demo Songs. Since each

Registration has all appropriate settings for the selected type of music — including suitable Voices and

Styles — you can instantly change all panel settings with the touch of a single button. The

Registrations are divided into two types: Organ Presets and Orchestral Presets.

To use the Registration Menu presets:

1. Press the button in the REGISTRATION MENU section corresponding to

the desired style.

Using the Display and Related Controls

As you’ve seen in the sections above, the AR-80 features an exceptionally large and easy-to-understand

display. It provides comprehensive at-a-glance information on all current settings, and gives you

convenient, intuitive control over the AR-80’s functions.

In this section, we’ll take a look at some example displays, and see how the surrounding panel buttons

are used with them.

1. Call up the Help function by pressing the HELP button. To leave this

display, press the HELP button again.

1 MENU buttons

These are used to select the corresponding Menu pages (when Menu pages are shown at the

left and right sides of the display).

2 PAGE buttons

These buttons are used when the book icon appears in the display. Pressing one of the PAGE

button selects the next or previous available page or group of Menu pages.

3 DATA CONTROL buttons

These are divided into eight sets of up/down buttons, and are used to make selections or ad-

just settings (up or down correspondingly) for functions shown directly above them. For

example, use the four Data Control buttons directly underneath “UP/DOWN” in the display

to scroll up or down in the current Help message. (Pressing either of the top two buttons

scrolls up, and either of the bottom two scrolls down.)

4 DISPLAY SELECT buttons

These are used to select the various main functions and their pages. (Each button lights

when the corresponding function is selected.) Pressing another function’s button switches to

the selected function. However, the function “freezes” when the VOICE EDIT, ACCOMP.

PROGRAM, SEQUENCE PROGRAM, HELP, and HOLD buttons are pressed. To exit from

these functions, press the same button again.
