Yamaha PDP-400 Owner's Manual - Page 27

Disk Styles A "Style Disk" is supplied with the PDP-400, providing an extra 50 ABC accompaniment styles. Any two of these patterns can be loaded into the PDP400'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. NOTES • If no disk styles are loaded as described below, the [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.
