Pan
Transposition
The PDP-400’s TRANSPOSE function makes it
possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six
semitones. “Transposing” the pitch of the PDP-400
keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signa-
tures, and you can simply match the pitch of the key-
board to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “
P d
”
on the TEMPO display) which is automatically set when
the power is first turned on.
NOTES
• The “
P d
” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the
treble-register sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the
left. Using a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high
notes included, at the same position.
• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.
●
The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the key-
board can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume
control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
The pan position is shown on the TEMPO display, from
“
PL6
” for full left at the “MIN” control position, through
“
P C
” for center, to “
Pr6
” for full right at the “MAX”
control position. This can be used to produce a broader
ensemble sound with the Performance Memory multitrack
recording feature.
The pan settings are as follows:
