Selecting Voices from the
Dotted Buttons
The EL-100 has a wide 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 voices. These dotted buttons function as 'wild card' Voice Menu
selectors; any internal voices can be selected from these buttons.

The dotted buttons have two basic uses:
● 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.
● 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.
