Pitch control makes it possible to tune the PDP-400 over a
±
50-cent range (approximate) in
approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning
range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch
control is useful for tuning the PDP-400 to match other instruments or recorded music.

Tuning Up ................................................................................................................................................
Z
To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously (A-1 and B-
1 are the two lowest white keys on the keyboard) and press any key between C3
and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approxi-
mately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To
raise the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [
▲
] button instead of
the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [
▼
] button can also be used to tune down while
the A-1 and B-1 keys are held.
X
Release the A-1 and B-1 keys.

To Restore Standard Pitch* ...................................................................................................................
Z
To restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A
#
-1, and B-1 keys si-
multaneously and press any key between C3 and B3, or simultaneously press
the TEMPO [
▲
] and [

Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is automatically set whenever the POWER
switch is initially turned on.
NOTES
• The PITCH function does not affect the DRUMS sound.
• The TEMPO [

The Pitch Display
Example:
The approximate pitch of A3 is shown on the TEMPO display in Hertz while
the pitch control function is in operation. The total display range is from
approximately 427 hertz (-50 cents) to 453 hertz (+50 cents).
The dots to the right of each figure in the display are used to provide a general
idea of fractional pitches.
