Disk Styles; Selecting & Loading Disk Styles - Yamaha PDP-400 Owner's Manual

Disk Styles

A "Style Disk" is supplied with the PDP-400, pro-
viding an extra 50 ABC accompaniment styles. Any
two of these patterns can be loaded into the PDP-
400's memory at a time. The [DISK STYLE 1] and
[DISK STYLE 2] buttons select the loaded disk
styles in the same way as the STYLE selectors
select the internal styles.
• If no disk styles are loaded as described below, the
NOTES
[DISK STYLE 1] and [DISK STYLE 2] buttons select
pre-programmed disk styles contained in internal
ROM memory. These are the default styles selected
by the [DISK STYLE 1] and [DISK STYLE 2] buttons
whenever the power is initially turned on.

Insert the Style Disk into the disk drive with the sliding door on the disk facing
the drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk should click into place and
the disk lamp will light briefly while the PDP-400 reads and identifies the disk.
The [SONG SELECT] indicator will light automatically when the disk is
ready. If a disk is already loaded and the [SONG SELECT] indicator is not lit,
press the [SONG SELECT] button so that it lights. When this is done the [DISK
STYLE 1] and [DISK STYLE 2] button indicators will flash alternately, and the
single-finger ABC mode and synchronized start mode will be engaged (any other
ABC mode will remain active if it was selected before the disk was loaded).
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons below the SONG NUMBER display to select the
desired style number. The selected style number will appear on the SONG
NUMBER display — "A 1 " for example. You can "preview" the selected style by
playing on the left-hand section of the keyboard (single-finger or fingered). Pattern
playback will stop if a different pattern number is selected.
• If a tempo is set prior to loading the style, that tempo becomes the default for the
NOTES
loaded style.
Press the [DISK STYLE 1] or [DISK STYLE 2] button to load the selected
pattern into that button. The [DISK STYLE 1] or [DISK STYLE 2] indicator will
light, and the [SONG SELECT] indicator will go out.
Repeat steps X through V to select and load a second pattern into the other
[DISK STYLE] button if you like.
When you've finished with the Style Disk, press the disk drive EJECT button
to remove it.
