The PDP-400 has several volume controls that give
you extra versatility in creating the required sound.
The Volume Controls
● Auto Accompaniment ............................................................................................................................
Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1,
CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best
balance between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS
CHORD (ABC), Disk Orchestra Collection playback, and Performance Memory
features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control can be used to balance the
keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompaniment is used.
The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted by using the BASS
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly
handy for adjusting the balance when recording the PDP-400 sound.
● Master Volume ........................................................................................................................................
The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound
produced by the PDP-400. It also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of head-
phones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for
the most comfortable listening level.
The PDP-400 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per channel to a high-
performance speaker system . The PDP-400 speaker system employs two 13-centimeter
speaker units that deliver exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows
to shimmering highs.
The Internal Amplifier &
Speaker System
● Other Volume Control Modes
The Auto Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to other functions
via the “Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 42). They can be
used to control modulation, pitch bend, and expression; or individual reverb
depth for the rhythm, chord 1, chord 2, and bass parts.
NOTES
• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum
positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum
control positions produce the normal volume levels.
