MASTER VOLUME MIN MAX The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound produced by the PDP-400. It also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones 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. q Auto Accompaniment ... AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT RHYTHM BASS CHORD 1 CHORD 2 MAX MAX MAX MIN MIN MIN MIDI/ TRANSPOSE BASS MAX 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. MIN q 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. The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System The PDP-400 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per channel to a highperformance 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.
