Put the expressive power of your whole body into your live performance—anywhere, any time

The Electone ELA-1 is a portable keyboard that gives you the expressive power to enjoy making a musical impact wherever you’re performing live, through nuanced keyboard playing, dynamic pedal bass, your smile, and even your singing.

Connect a microphone to sing and talk

The ELA-1 features a microphone input jack. Simply connect a microphone to hear your vocals along with the sounds of what you’re playing on the keyboard through the built-in speakers at the same time. This opens up possibilities for singing along as you play, or for onstage banter.

Live Expression Control for freely expressing the nuances you want to convey

Over 75 effects and functions can be assigned to the two expression pedals and two footswitches for real-time control, letting you express the emotions you want to convey, every time.

Three keyboards for expanded playability

The ELA-1 is equipped with three independent keyboards for melody, harmony, and bass respectively. These keyboards give you more freedom for a versatile performance.

Powerful performance that lets you show off your playing using your whole body

An extensive array of carefully-crafted sounds to take your expressive capabilities to the next level

Voices

The ELA-1 is well-stocked with a full range of over 900 different Voice. Enjoy creating a wide range of sounds including Super Articulation Voices that express the breathing and nuances unique to each instrument, Combination Voices that add depth to performances, Organ flutes, and much more.
Adaptive Styles

The ELA-1 features 450 different Styles (automatic accompaniment) that are suitable for all kinds of genres to stimulate your creativity. The ELA-1 also features “Adaptive Styles,” in which the built-in smart engine controls the accompaniment by automatically analyzing your performance.

Bass reflex port for powerful bass reproduction

In addition to two-way speakers, a bass reflex port is installed on the front of the instrument for a compact design that doesn’t skimp on sound quality, allowing you to beef up your groove with a powerful low end.
Easy-to-read color display

The ELA-1 features an easy-to-read 4.3-inch TFT color display. This lets you focus on your music without stress, whether performing on stage or creating sounds at home.
