In this chapter, first select one of the Registration Menu buttons (as you did in ACT 1), then create
three new Registrations by changing the selected Registration. You can save the created
Registrations to the Registration Memory buttons first, then save them to a SmartMedia card.
Here is a brief rundown of the three Registrations you’ll be using in “Dancing Queen.” Registration M1
features a clear piano intertwined with warm strings and a distinctive wah guitar in the Lower
keyboard. In M2, the Synth Lead performs the melody. The last Registration, M3, is the gorgeous
sound of the original Registration Menu itself.
About “Dancing Queen”
The Disco craze of the mid 1970’s swept the entire world, resulting in a huge amount of hit songs and
many popular artists, such as Earth, Wind & Fire, KC & the Sunshine Band, and the Bee Gees. One of
the most successful Disco-flavored acts was ABBA, the Swedish male/female team of songwriters/
singers — and “Dancing Queen” was one of their most popular songs. As you’ll discover, the Electone
has a wide variety of highly danceable rhythms that are ideal for recreating the Disco sound.
