Turning the Electone off erases all panel settings you have made. When the Electone is turned on, Basic Registration 1 is automatically
selected.
If you have made panel settings you wish to keep, save them to Registration Memory before turning the Electone off. See page 66 for more
information.
You can, however, restore the panel settings that were made before the Electone was last turned off. See page 72 for more information.

Selecting Voices from the
Dotted Buttons
The EL-400 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 three 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.
