voices on each keyboard by pressing the VOICE DISPLAY button in the
DISPLAY SELECT section.
Selecting Additional Voices—Dotted Buttons and User Voices
The EL-37 Electone has a variety of voices from which you can choose—far greater than what is immediately
apparent from the front panel controls. You've already learned in the section above how to select the different
voices that are available in the Voice Menu display of each panel voice. The Electone also has dotted buttons in
each voice section, giving you access to even more voice. Optional Voice Disk voices are also available for
storing to User Voices.

Selecting Voices from the Dotted Buttons
Each voice section has one or two dotted buttons, found on the right side of each voice section. These dotted
buttons function as "wild card" Voice Menu selectors; any internal or User voices can be selected from these
buttons.
The dotted buttons have the following basic uses:
1)
For playing any voice of the Voice Menus from any of the keyboards or
Pedalboard. You can play on the Upper keyboard, for example, voices from
the twenty-two Voice Menu pages (including User), and not be limited to
only the twelve buttons (equivalent to twelve Voice Menu pages) that make
up the Upper Voice section. Another advantage to this feature is that when
the normally monophonic (one note) Lead and Pedal voices are assigned to
the Upper or Lower keyboard voice sections, they can be played
polyphonically.
2)
For having three different voices from the same Voice Menu page
available for selection in the same song.
For example, you can assign one of the voices to a dotted button in the
Upper Keyboard Voice section, the second voice to the other dotted button
in the same section, and the third one on the Voice Menu.
3)
For storing voices from a Voice Disk. (See page 65.)
To select a voice from a dotted button:
1.
Press one of the dotted buttons in any of the
voice sections.
