Split Mode

The split mode lets you play different voices with
the left and right hands — bass with the left and pi-
ano with the right, for example. You can assign any
of the PDP-400's voices to the left and right-hand
sections of the keyboard.

Changing the Split Point

SPLIT
When the [SPLIT] button is pressed and its indicator lights, the keyboard is
split into left- and right-hand sections and different voices can be assigned to each.
The split point is initially set at the F#2 key when the power is turned on, and the
UPRIGHT BASS voice is initially assigned to the left-hand section of the keyboard
(all keys up to and including F#2). The voice that was selected when the SPLIT
mode was engaged is assigned to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The cur-
rent settings are retained if the SPLIT mode is turned off (press the [SPLIT] but-
ton again) and on while the power remains on.
