■Other Playback Controls
●Pause.......................................................................................................................................................
In addition to Disk Orchestra Collection disks, the PDP-400 can also play back Yamaha Disklavier PianoSoft™ disks, disks
containing Yamaha ESEQ format sequence data, and disks containing songs recorded in Standard MIDI File format (format 0 only).
It is possible to change the track 1/2 voice by using the panel voice selectors during playback of Disk Orchestra Collection
and Disklavier PianoSoft disks. In this case the playback voice will become the same as the voice played via the keyboard. The
playback voice cannot be changed when playing back other type of disks (the keyboard voice can be changed).
The phrase repeat function described above can only be used with Disk Orchestra Collection disks. A-B repeat can be used
with any type of data. The guide function can only be used with ESEQ files.
The [ORCH/3-10TR] part select button can also be used with all types of data: with files other than General MIDI files it
turns tracks 3 through 14 on or off, and with General MIDI Files it turns tracks 3 through 9 and 11 through 16 on or off. The
[RHYTHM] button can be used to turn track 15 on and off with file types other than General MIDI (with General MIDI files the
[RHYTHM] button turns track 10 on and off). With any type of file the individual tracks (1 through 16) can be turned on and off
as described on page 27 — tracks 11 through 16 are controlled by keys G6 through C7, respectively.
When playing files other than General MIDI files the Auto Accompaniment volume controls affect the following tracks (the
volume of General MIDI format tracks cannot be controlled):
When playing General MIDI Files the PDP-400’s internal tone generator is auto-
matically switched to the GM System Level 1 voice allocation.
BASS Track 3
CHORD 2 Tracks 1 & 2
CHORD 1 Tracks 4 … 14

ton can also be held for continuous stepping in the specified direction.
■During playback the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons allow you to move rapidly in
the specified direction for as long as the button is held. No sound is produced dur-

■DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION Disk Copy
The [ORCH/3-10TR] and [RHYTHM] parts of songs from DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION disks — the disk
supplied with the PDP-400 and others available from Yamaha — can be copied to separate disks by following the
“Copying Disk Orchestra Disks” instructions given on page 39 of the “Disk Control” section. Data copied in this way
can be played back and manipulated via the Performance Memory (page 31) — you can, for example, record your own
[RIGHT/1TR] and [LEFT/2TR] parts.
NOTES
•Disk Orchestra Collection phrase marks are not copied.
If the FOOT SWITCH pedal is set for START/STOP operation using the [FOOT
SWITCH] button, it functions as a pause/next phrase control during DISK ORCHES-
TRA playback: press once to pause, and again to continue from the beginning of the
next phrase (refer to the DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION book that comes with
the DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION disk for phrase locations).
NOTES
•The pedal pause/next phrase function will not operate if the guide, phrase repeat, or
all songs repeat modes are active.
