Yamaha PDP-400 Utility Mode 2

44
This group of utility functions covers a range of disk-related
jobs. There are 6 functions in the group which are accessed as
follows:
Utility Mode 2
Select the “u1” function as described in the introduction to this section, then, while still
holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button to begin
conversion. Simply release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button before pressing the TEMPO
[▲] or [▼] button if you want to cancel the function. You can release the [MIDI/TRANS-
POSE] button once the conversion has started, and the conversion will continue to comple-
tion.
The DOC Common Voice Conversion function will automatically be exited when the con-
version is complete.
NOTES
•This function cannot be used to convert the voice data on Disk Orchestra Collection,
Disklavier, Style, Standard MIDI File, write-protected, or already-converted disks.
•Once converted, the data cannot be returned to its original form. It is therefore a good idea to
make a backup copy of the data before using this function.
•Some models used for playback of the converted data may not have the required voices or
different voices will be used, so the sound may not be exactly the same as the original.
XSelect and Execute the Conversion Function .....................................................................................
Insert the disk containing the data to be converted into the PDP-400 disk drive and select
the song to be converted. This function cannot be executed if an appropriate disk is not
loaded (see “Notes” below).
ZInsert the Disk and Select a Song.........................................................................................................
u1: DOC Common Voice Conversion
This function can be used to convert the performance memory voice assignments used by the PDP-400 to DOC (Disk
Orchestra Collection) Common Voice Assignments so songs recorded on the PDP-400 can be played back on other com-
patible Yamaha instruments.
ZSelect a Utility Function.........................................................................................................................
Utility Mode 2 Function number
Use the [DANCE POP/POWER HOUSE] and [BIG BAND/BOOGIE] style se-
lectors while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The [DANCE POP/POWER
HOUSE] style selector increments the utility function number each time it is pressed,
and the [BIG BAND/BOOGIE] button decrements the utility function number.
The Utility Mode 2 functions are indicated on the TEMPO display by a small “u”
in the leftmost digit position. The number of the function is displayed by the center
digit (“1” through “6”), and the function is indicated by the right digit.
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button must be held until after you’ve executed the
function, below.
NOTES
•You can cancel the selected function at this point and exit from the utility mode simply
be releasing the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Use the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button while still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE]
button to execute the function (the “u6” function uses other buttons).
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button to Exit...................................................................................
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button to exit from the Utility 2 Mode when
you’ve finished making the required settings.
NOTES
•Utility Mode 2 functions can
only be accessed when a disk
