What Is “ELCajon”

The Roland ELCajon (Electronic Layered Cajon) is a cajon with a new concept: “electronic sound

layered on acoustic sound” using proprietary Roland sensor and sound generation technology.

The ELCajon opens up fresh musical possibilities for the cajon, and is sure to inspire you with new

performance ideas and new musical expressions.

Main features

5You can layer a variety of electronic sounds while taking

advantage of the distinctive resonance that’s original to the

cajon.

5Even when used on its own, the ELCajon lets you enjoy powerful

sound without having to connect an external mic or PA system.

5Lightweight and easy to transport, the ELCajon can be operated

on batteries, allowing you to perform anywhere you like,

including outdoors.

5When performing in a large hall, you can use the ELECTRONIC

SOUND OUT jack to obtain even more powerful sound.

5Connect an audio player to the MIX IN jack, and you can use the

ELCajon as a speaker or a seat when you’re not playing it.

Your own hands will let you draw out the fullest potential of the

ELCajon.

Panel Descriptions

Seating surface

Top panel

Speaker hole and bass-reex port

(Built-in speaker)

Edge

Strike this area to play the “edge” sound

of each kit.

Playing Plate

There are two types of electronic

layered sound: head and edge.

Head (center of the playing plate)

Strike this area to play the “head” sound

of each kit.

Top panel

Sound group select buttons

Use the two left and right buttons to switch

between the three sound groups (CAJON,

PERCUSSION, SFX).

Mute

If you press the two buttons at left and right

simultaneously, the instrument is muted so

that the electronic layer does not sound (the

three indicators go dark). Use this when you

want to perform only the acoustic sound of

the cajon itself.

Kit number select buttons

Use the two button (DEC/INC) at left and right to select a kit number (1–9, 0) within each

sound group.

By holding down either the left or right button, you can change the number rapidly.

A Battery case

The ELCajon can operate on batteries or on the included AC

adaptor. If you are using batteries, insert six AA batteries, making

sure that the batteries are oriented correctly.

* The battery life is approximately 12 hours for typical performance use. When the

batteries run low, “L” blinks in the display. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid leakage. Make sure

that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT

SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”).

B DC IN jack

Connect the included AC adaptor here.

* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out

accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the jack, anchor the power cord using the

cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

C [POWER] switch

This turns the power on/o.

D MIX IN jack

Connect your audio player or other audio source here. Sound from the connected device comes

out of the ELCajon’s built-in speaker.

E [VOLUME] knob

Adjusts the volume of the built-in speaker.

F ELECTRONIC SOUND OUT jack

The electronic layer sound of each kit is output from this jack to an external amp or PA system.

Use this mainly when you want to boost the low frequency sound.

* When connecting the device to the ELECTRONIC SOUND OUT jack, be sure to turn on the

power in the order of the ELCajon rst, and then the connected system. Powering-on in

the incorrect order may cause malfunctions or damage. When turning the power o, power-

o the connected system rst, and then the ELCajon.

G [TRIGGER BALANCE] knob

Adjusts the head/edge sensor balance for the electronic sound. Turning the knob toward “HEAD”

makes it easier to play the head sound; turning it toward “EDGE” makes it easier to play the edge

sound.

Tip

5If the edge sound is heard when you strike the head, it is often the case that your palm or wrist

is unintentionally striking near the edge at the same time that your ngertips strike the head.

In this case, curve your ngers beyond the wrist so that they strike the head surface.

(Rear panel) Carrying handle

To transport the ELCajon, hold it by this carrying handle located on the rear

panel.

* You can use a commercially available cajon carrying case

(50 x 30 x 30 cm) to transport the ELCajon.

THRESHOLD setting

If you simultaneously press both the left and right buttons indicated in

the illustration, the number blinks, allowing you to adjust the force of the

strike on the striking surface that will play the sound of the electronic

layer (1–9).

With a high THRESHOLD setting, the electronic layer sound is heard only

when you play a strong strike.

When you have nished making the setting, simultaneously press both

the left and right buttons once again.

* The THRESHOLD setting returns to the default value when you turn o the power.

How to Play

When using the ELCajon in a tilted position, take care that it does not tip over, and

that the connectors are not damaged.

1. Experience the sound as an acoustic cajon

In principle, a cajon is an instrument that can be struck anywhere to produce sound. However in

order to take full advantage of the ELCajon as a musical instrument, we recommend the following

performance techniques.

Strikes Explanation

Head Low

Use the entire palm of your hand to strike near the center

of the striking surface; this produces a low sound with a

resonant decay.

Memo

To produce a sharper low sound with minimal decay,

round your hand so that the tips of your ve ngers strike

the surface simultaneously.

Head Touch

Use individual ngertips to softly strike near the center

of the striking surface as though you were playing a

keyboard; this produces small, subtle low sounds.

Edge High

Use the entire length of four ngers (omitting the thumb)

to strike the upper part of the striking surface. This

produces a sharp sound that is reminiscent of a snare

drum, and is used frequently.

The ELCajon has snare wires, producing a buzz-like

acoustic sound that responds to the force of your strike.

Edge Touch

Use your ngertips to gently strike the upper part of the

striking surface as if you were playing a keyboard. This

produces a soft and subtle medium-high sound.

Unlike the Edge High strike, this strike is often used as

ghost notes (notes that keep the rhythm going, or that ll

in between low and high sounds).

Slap

Bend your hand into an “L” shape at the knuckles, and

using four ngers (omitting the thumb) where they join

the palm of your hand, strongly and rapidly strike the

upper edge of the striking surface.

This produces an accented high-pitched sound.

2. Play sounds of the electronic layer

Use the top panel buttons to select the electronic layer sound.

Tips

5The ELCajon assigns separate sounds to the head and edge. Like the acoustic sounds, the

sounds of the electronic layer also change in response to your striking force.

5The electronic sounds are set to not sound when you use head touch or edge touch strikes to

play softly and delicately.

5Use the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume of the electronic layer.

Sound Group

Group Explanation

CAJON

This group of kits blends the acoustic sound of the cajon itself with the

electronic layer sound, with the goal of creating a single cajon sound.

The electronic layer sounds in this group are created as variations of the cajon’s

resonant cords.

PERCUSSION

The kits in this group contain electronic layer sounds that supplement the

acoustic sound of the cajon itself with a variety of percussion instruments that

are dierent from cajon sounds.

Using just the ELCajon by itself, these kits let you play a variety of percussion

instruments from dierent genres, making it possible to go beyond the

traditional framework or denitions of a cajon.

SFX

This group contains kits containing a variety of sound eects suitable for

various styles of music.

* If you want to lay down a strong foundation of four beats per measure,

as in dance music, you can get a more powerful sound by connecting the

ELECTRONIC SOUND OUT jack to an external amp or PA system.

Performance Advice

9 When you want to increase the overall sound of the ELCajon

We recommend that you place a mic in front of the speaker hole and

bass-reex port of the ELCajon’s striking surface (front panel), and

connect the mic to an amp or PA system.

The mic will pick up the original acoustic sound as well as the

electronic layer sound heard from the ELCajon’s speakers.

9 When you want to increase the sound of the electronic layer (in

particular the low frequencies)

Using the ELECTRONIC SOUND OUT jack located on the ELCajon’s

rear panel, output the electronic layer sound to an external amp or PA

system.

Use the controls of the PA system to adjust the volume of the ELCajon’s

sound that is output from the PA system.

9 When you don’t want the electronic layer sound to be output

If you press the two left and right sound group select buttons

simultaneously, the electronic layer sound is immediately muted.

Repeat this action to unmute the sound.

This lets you turn mute on/o as appropriate for your song, for

example when you want to stop playing the electronic layer at a

certain point in the song.

9 If you want to conserve battery power

5Turn o the power when you’re not playing the instrument.

5If you connect an external audio device to the MIX IN jack and use

the ELCajon to continuously play back music while you perform,

the batteries will be used more heavily than during conventional

performance. If you will be playing back music for an extended time,

you should supply power from the AC adaptor or play your audio

device through the PA system.
