Disk Orchestra; Automatic Performance - Yamaha PDP-400 Owner's Manual

Disk Orchestra

26
Using Yamaha Disk Orchestra disks (one is supplied with the PDP-400, others are available from Yamaha),
the PDP-400 will let you enjoy listening to automated performances, or function as your "private music tutor,"
allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the others are played automatically. You can also play "in
ensemble" with the complete Disk Orchestra arrangement.

When the disk is inserted the [SONG SELECT], [RIGHT/1TR], [LEFT/
2TR], [ORCH/3-10TR], and [RHYTHM] indicators will light if the correspond-
ing tracks contain performance data, and the selected song number will be shown
