Converting ELS format to EL
You can convert songs created on the ELS-01/01C to EL-series format, and save them
to a floppy disk. The converted data can be used with EL-series Electones, such as the
EL-900. This function is not available for protected songs.
You’ll need to install the optional floppy disk drive such as UD-FD01.
Select the song to be converted to EL-series format.
For details on selecting a song, see page 103.
In the TOOLS Page, press the [CONVERT] button.
A “Which do you want to select?” message appears.
Press the [CONVERT ELS
➞
EL] button.
If the source song contains two or more Registration banks, you’ll need to make
ready the same number of destination songs to save the converted data.
Insert the floppy disk, then press the [EXECUTE] button in the
display.
If the remaining memory of the floppy disk is insufficient, conversion cannot be
executed. (An error message appears and the operation is cancelled.)

Converting EL format to ELS
You can convert the songs in the floppy disk created with an EL-series Electone, such as
the EL-900, to the ELS-01/01C format, and save it to a USB flash memory confirmed
by Yamaha. You’ll need to install the optional floppy disk drive such as UD-FD01.
Depending on the original song, the sound or tempo of the converted song may differ
from the original song, or the Next Song function of the original song may not be
effective.
Insert the floppy disk that contains the song you want to convert
to ELS format, then select the source song.
For details on selecting a song, see page 103.
