Main Features Your Yamaha AR-100 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 205 exceptionally realistic and natural-sounding Voices. The AR-100 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-100 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-100 gives you instant access to 384 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, sixteen 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-100 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.) 4
