Of the PDP-400's 60 voices, 12 are "panel voices" which
can be directly accessed by pressing the corresponding
SPLIT
VOICE selector. When a voice selector is pressed the corre-
sponding indicator will light and the number of the selected
voice will appear on the TEMPO display while the voice
selector is held.
The PIANO voice is automatically selected when the
power is initially turned on.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons immediately to the right of
the [VOICE 13-60] button to select a voice number between
13 and 60. Press either button briefly to select the next voice
number in the specified direction, or hold the button for con-
tinuous scrolling in the specified direction. The [VOICE 13-
60] indicator will light and the voice number will appear on
the TEMPO display during selection.
If a panel voice (1-12) is selected, the last selected voice in
the 13-60 range can be instantly re-selected simply by press-
ing the [VOICE 13-60] button. The [VOICE 13-60] button
will initially select voice number 13 (BRASS) after the power
is turned on.
• Voice number 13 can be instantly selected by pressing
NOTES
the [ ] and [ ] buttons simultaneously.
Enter the number of the desired voice via the voice selec-
SPLIT
tors (note that each voice selector has a number between 1 and
0 associated with it) while pressing the [DRUMS] selector.
To select voice number 16, for example, press and hold
[DRUMS], press [PIANO/1], then [GUITAR/6], then release
the [DRUMS] button. The voice number will appear on the
TEMPO display while the [DRUMS] button is held. The
[VOICE 13-60] button indicator will light whenever a voice
number between 13 and 60 is selected.
