Guest Erotictales Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Oh you need to get back into it! The current models are a complete new experience compared to the previous generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Infinite Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 True. Quite rare to see people playing the electone nowadays. I'm currently preparing for my Grade 6 exams And if only I was rich enough to get the STAGEA ELS-01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm very happy to see there are still enthusiastic Electone Players around!And good luck for your 6, Infinite.PS: Not ELS-01. ELS-01C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jazzy Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 is the grading system still the same? previously my teacher was making me play all the grade 5, 4 & 3 scores, whenever i hear a familiar tune on the radio or album, sure wish my fingers was running through the keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Ya. Upper grade is generally lumped together as grade 5-3. Particularly difficult ones may be graded as grade 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outernet Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 used to play the electone too! learnt it at Yahama and was at Grade 8 (they started from grade 13 and downwards).but now, hardly touch it already. moreover, the pedals are also spoilt. so now, my skills are rusty.it's so hard to find scores for electone! imagine u want to play chinese pop songs and can't find the score. guitar or piano scores are so much easier to find.electones are also so expensive, cheapest brand new ones cost at least $3k i think. but undeniably, the sounds created by electone is magnificent.

There're tons.I used to think Electones are expensive too. Then I saw the prices for pianos and organs by Roland, Wursi, etc. And I changed my mind.

GKS Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Which organization offer good electone? any private tutor?Please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 GKS, if you're buying, it's either get a new one from Yamaha or a second hand from ebay. Or you can try 88db.Teachers, I frankly don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamawesome Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I just stopped playing for 3 years, for O and A levels :/Buy stagea! The sound quality is much better:)But for a cheaper alternative, can buy EL 900, about same standard as stagea, but much cheaper:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoReMi Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Wow, good to know that there are so many out here playing the Electone! I started long time ago and had even participated in the Singapore Electone Festival....Did all the way till Grade 4 and initially wanted to teach at Yamaha. Enjoyed playing all those Jazz, fusion and Broadway stuff! Played on the GX-1 FX-1,HX-1 during the competitons. Those good old days. Started working after Uni and had stopped since. I still play the piano though. I find the StageA very advanced but too synthetic in terms of its sound. For those who are learning, enjoy and happy playing! :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm glad to see many people still remembering what Electone is.DoReMi, one other thing about the Stagea sound. For some reason, the sound technology for other Yamaha Keyboards, like the Tyros, is much better and more realistic. Guess Yamaha figured it's more profitable to invest in arranger keyboards and stage synths.(And all those Xs you mentioned, only a real enthusiast can mention those. : ) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoReMi Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yup...Was really very into it then. Would spend hrs practising. Looks like we are from the same generation man! Hahaha! Guess you are an Electone Pro now? I find the piano more relaxing to play now. In fact im very interseted in hthe Avant piano but it's a little to pricy I think.

Guest Erotictales Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes, we're prob around same era. I probably saw you perform b4 at the festival?But no, I'm no pro. In fact I too stopped for many years. Resumed a while back and mainly playing for personal enjoyment.And yes, it can be very stressful playing the StageA now. Too many things to programme!

Too many things to programme!Well Erotictales, I think you have probably seen me performed at the Electone Festival. I can't reveal too much lah. Hahaha.You know lots about Electone music, think you were an advance level student at least and therefore I'm sure you must have attended many of those concerts. Yes, with all super new Tech features on the StageA , it's really quite stressful doing just the drums alone! That's why I go back to the piano now. Can't catch up withtechnology..... Hahahahahaha..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 The festival was also the chance to watch talented cute things perform. (Shh!!!)Anyhow, the percussion aside, it's also quite substantial work to edit the sounds on the Stagea. If you don't edit, they sound fake. To edit, because there's like 200++ effects with numerical adjustments, you actually need to read up on the various technical terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith83 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 wow...i dont play electone, but im learning to play jazz on my yamaha keyboard now. any one good at it? or good at piano musics? wanna share? tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erotictales Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I got several jazz scores if you are interested. Some are piano scores, like for David Benoit and Duke Ellington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
