The split mode lets you play different voices with
the left and right hands — bass with the left and pi-
ano with the right, for example. You can assign any
of the PDP-400’s voices to the left and right-hand
sections of the keyboard.
Split Mode
■ Changing the Split Point
The default split point — F#2 — will always be set automatically whenever the
power is initially turned on.
A-1 A≠1 C 2 C~2
A-1 A#-1 C2 C#2
Example:
The split point can be set at any key by pressing the desired key while holding
the [SPLIT] button. The split point key name will appear on the TEMPO display
while the [SPLIT] button is held.
■ Engaging the Split Mode
Left-hand section
Right-hand section
When the [SPLIT] button is pressed and its indicator lights, the keyboard is
split into left- and right-hand sections and different voices can be assigned to each.
The split point is initially set at the F#2 key when the power is turned on, and the
UPRIGHT BASS voice is initially assigned to the left-hand section of the keyboard
(all keys up to and including F#2). The voice that was selected when the SPLIT
mode was engaged is assigned to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The cur-
rent settings are retained if the SPLIT mode is turned off (press the [SPLIT] but-
ton again) and on while the power remains on.
■ Changing the Split Voices
The right-hand voice can be changed simply by pressing the appropriate voice
selector.
The left-hand voice can be changed by pressing a voice selector while holding
the [SPLIT] button.
NOTES
• All voices except BASS (voice numbers 10, 11, 49, 50, 51, and 52) and DRUMS
(voice number 12) are shifted up one octave when assigned to the lower section
of the keyboard (this function can be turned on or off via the “Octave Shift” utility
function described on page 43).
