The B00.EXE program
B00.EXE is a program that can read .B00 file. It generates a text listing of all the settings: registrations, flutes, patterns, sequences,...
For EL40/EL28 users (and other models which don''''t have the rhythm programmer): Most of the songs on Yamaha disks joined with score books can''''t be used on your Electone because they use programmed rhythm. With B00.EXE, you can convert these songs and play them on your Electone ! --> see bellow "Converting programmed rhythm"
B00.EXE is a very old DOS program that I wrote in 1994, but I''''m still using it under Windows 95. It has no graphical user interface, you have to use it at the MS-DOS prompt. Experienced windows users can create a .BAT command file calling B00.EXE with correct parameters, and then create a registry entry for the .B00 files. --> see bellow "Using B00.EXE from Windows Explorer"
Program setup
- create a directory on your hard disk called C:\ELSOFT (or everything else)
- put the files B00.EXE and PATTERN.DAT in this directory
How to use it
- open an MS-DOS window from Windows
- go to the ELSOFT directory with: CD \ELSOFT
- insert your floppy disk
- launch the program with: B00 A:MDR_00.B00 > MYSONG.TXT
- choose the good B00 file: MDR_00.B00 is the B00 file of song # 1 and so on
- in the example above, the listing is recorded in the file MYSONG.TXT in the ELSOFT directory or your hard disk
- display the result with: notepad MYSONG.TXT or double-click on it in the explorer window (you may need to refresh the list of files with the F5 key)
- exit the MS-DOS window with: EXIT
Advanced options
The exact syntax is:
B00 -xxx b00_file1 b00_file2 ...
where xxx are one or more of the following options:
- -a display all settings
- -d debug mode
- -f dump of User Flutes
- -s dump of sections
- -v dump of USER VOICEs
- -x dump of all bytes
- -y dump of unknown bytes
- -4 dump only 4 USER VOICEs
- -6 dump 16 registrations
- -8 dump only 8 registrations
- -o generate drum sequence file
- -p generate drum pattern data file (don''''t use it, PATTERN.DAT will be erased !)

There are two ways of playing drums on the Electone:
- select a rhythm and press the "Start" button
- switch on the "keyboard percussion" and play drums on keyboards
When recording on a floppy disk:
- when you select a rhythm and press "Start", you only record these two actions: rhythm button pressed and "Start" button pressed
- when you use the keyboard percussion, you record each key you play on keyboards
The user defined drum patterns and sequences are recorded with the registrations in the B00 file. When you use on of these user rhythms, you record only the buttons you press to start the rhythm, not each key.
The EL40 and other ELs without the rhythm programmer ignore the drum patterns and sequences recorded in the B00 files. Then they play the song with a standard "March1" rhythm instead of the programmed rhythm. But these ELs can play percussion on keyboard and record them.
The B00.EXE program can convert the drum patterns and sequences of a B00 file to an EVT file playing keyboard percussion. You just have to start the song on your MDR and play melody and chords on the keyboards.
The program is not very easy to use, so follow carefully the steps:
- start an MS-DOS window from Windows
- go to the ELSOFT directory
- insert your floppy disk
- copy the B00 file from you floppy to your hard disk
COPY A:MDR_02.B00 MYSONG.B00
- launch B00.EXE with the -o option
b00 -o MYSONG.B00 > MYSONG.TXT
- display the listing generated
- check the drum sequences used and the tempo of the song (example: sequences #1 and #2 are used, tempo is 120)
- edit the START.TXT file to change the tempo (look for keyword TEMPO)
- save the file and close notepad
- build the GEN file
COPY START.TXT+MYSONG.SQ1+MYSONG.SQ2+END.TXT MYSONG.GEN
- convert the GEN file to an EVT file
- rename then EVT and B00 files and copy them to the floppy disk (choose a free song number, remember song #2 is MDR_01 !)
COPY MYSONG.EVT A:MDR_01.EVT
COPY MYSONG.B00 A:MDR_01.B00
- take the floppy disk and go to your Electone...
- load the registration of the new song by pressing "Play" and then "Stop"
- select the first registration of the song (may be #1)
- change the rhythm to "Baroque" in the "March" section (it is the only one rhythm which produces no sound at all)
- save the registration with "M" and registration button
- light on the "D" button to keep "Baroque" rhythm all song long
- save the registration to the floppy disk with "M" and "Record"
The song is now ready ! Before playing you had to do an additional setting (do it each time you switch your Electone on):
- in the MIDI menu, find the "EXP." setting
- change from "AUTO" to "IN" (in AUTO mode the expression pedal is inactive)
- get ready, and press the "Play" button of your MDR !
After a lead-in measure with 4 clicks, the rhythm starts.
If you want to slow down the tempo, don''''t use the tempo knob, it has no effect. Use instead the tempo adjustment of the MDR:
- "Shift" and "Tempo+" to speed up
- "Shift" and "Tempo-" to slow down
With an initial tempo of 120, set the MDR to 80(%) and you''''ll get a playing tempo of 120*0.8 = 96.
If you are working on a very long piece with two or more sequences, you can build one song per sequence for training, and a song with all sequences for playing.
Example of a song with 3 sequences, use the following DOS commands:
COPY START.TXT+MYSONG.SQ1+END.TXT MYSONG1.GEN
COPY START.TXT+MYSONG.SQ2+END.TXT MYSONG2.GEN
COPY START.TXT+MYSONG.SQ3+END.TXT MYSONG3.GEN
COPY START.TXT+MYSONG.SQ1+MYSONG.SQ2+MYSONG.SQ3+END.TXT MYSONG.GEN
GEN MYSONG1.GEN
GEN MYSONG2.GEN
GEN MYSONG3.GEN
GEN MYSONG.GEN
COPY MYSONG1.EVT A:MDR_01.EVT
COPY MYSONG1.B00 A:MDR_01.B00
COPY MYSONG2.EVT A:MDR_02.EVT
COPY MYSONG2.B00 A:MDR_02.B00
COPY MYSONG3.EVT A:MDR_03.EVT
COPY MYSONG3.B00 A:MDR_03.B00
COPY MYSONG.EVT A:MDR_04.EVT
COPY MYSONG.B00 A:MDR_04.B00
- Song # 2 (MDR_01) is for training on the sequence # 1
- Song # 3 (MDR_02) is for training on the sequence # 2
- Song # 4 (MDR_03) is for training on the sequence # 3
- Song # 5 (MDR_04) is the full piece with sequences 1, 2 and 3
The EVT files created here are very simples, you can add a lot a things in the GEN file to enhance the EVT file:
- automatic registration changes
- tempo change
- ...
See the description of the EVT.EXE and GEN.EXE programs !
Put the files B00WIN.BAT and B00.REG in the C:\ELSOFT directory
- B00WIN.BAT is a batch file that calls B00.EXE
- B00.REG adds registry entry (windows 95) for the B00 file extension
Setup:
- Double-click on B00.REG to add the registry entry.
- Open your floppy disk with the windows explorer and right-click on a B00 file and choose "Create listing", or simply double-click on the B00 file.
- The listing file is created in the same directory as the B00 file, and its name is the name of the B00 file followed by .TXT.
- This file is automatically opened with notepad.
