ACT 1ACT 2ACT 4 ACT 3
In Acts 1 and 2, you were able to enjoy playing the songs quickly using just the Registration Menu.
However, you may want to spice up your performance with more detailed Voice settings.
In this chapter, we’ll create custom song settings from the default settings. First, we’ll select the
necessary Voices and edit them with Voice controls and effects, then we’ll program a Rhythm
Sequence and Registration Sequence especially for the song.
After creating the song settings, try recording your performance to a SmartMedia card with the M.D.R.
function. The recorded song can be played back easily.
Since going through this chapter involves many different operations, take your time, master each step
in turn while you familiarize yourself with the convenient, sophisticated functions of the Electone.
Here is a brief rundown of the seven Registrations you’ll be using in “Change the World.” The acoustic
guitar and electric piano accompaniment form the main part for M1, a rock organ for M2, a sweet
harmonica melody and pad harmony for M3 – M4, a mysterious arpeggio for M5, and an electric guitar
solo for M6. The final, ending Registration, M7, has the same settings as the intro.
About “Change the World”
This huge hit spent 13 weeks at #1 on both the Billboard and R&R charts in 1996 and captured three
major Grammy awards in 1997: Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance.
Though “Change the World” is closely identified with both Eric Clapton and Babyface, neither of those
artists wrote the song. Moreover, the three acclaimed songwriters who actually composed the tune,
wrote parts of it in turn and were not even in the same room together! The song was recorded first by
country superstar Wynonna, and eventually found its way to Eric Clapton and Babyface, who
performed and produced it for the soundtrack of the movie “Phenomenon.”
