u5: Load Individual Key Tuning
ZInsert the Disk and Select a Song Number ..........................................................................................
This function reloads the individual key tuning data saved to disk by the Save Individual Key Tuning function (u4),
described above.
Make sure that the disk containing the saved tuning data is loaded in the PDP-400 disk
drive and select the song number you want to load the data from.
XSelect and Execute the Function ..........................................................................................................
Select the “u5” function as described in the introduction to this section, then, while
still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button to
begin loading the tuning data. Simply release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button before
pressing the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button if you want to cancel the function.
The Load Individual Key Tuning function will automatically be exited when the data
has been loaded. The Individual Key Tuning function (U3) will then be automatically
engaged with the loaded tuning, unless the loaded data is the same as that currently in the
PDP-400.
Utility Mode 2
u6: Quantize Song Data
This function “quantizes” song memory data that has already been recorded to disk. This means that all notes are
aligned to the nearest specified beat, thereby “tightening up” the overall timing.
ZInsert the Disk and Select a Song .........................................................................................................
Make sure that the disk containing the song you want to quantize is loaded in the PDP-
400 disk drive, and that the song to be quantized is selected.
XSelect the Quantize Function ................................................................................................................
Select the “u6” function as described in the introduction to this section.
oFF:“Free”. No quantization.
32: All notes aligned to the nearest 32nd note.
16: All notes aligned to the nearest 16th note.
8: All notes aligned to the nearest 8th note.
24: All notes aligned to the nearest 16th note triplet.
12: All notes aligned to the nearest 8th note triplet.
6: All notes aligned to the nearest quarter note triplet.
CSelect the Quantize Value ......................................................................................................................
While still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, use the SONG NUMBER [▲]
and [▼] buttons to select the desired quantize value, as shown on the SONG NUMBER
display:

VSelect a Track..........................................................................................................................................
Still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, use the [RIGHT/1TR], [LEFT/2TR],
or [ORCH/3-10TR] and [▲]/[▼] buttons to select the track you want to quantize.
BQuantize the Data ...................................................................................................................................
Still holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button, press the TEMPO [▲] button to begin
quantization or the [▼] button to cancel. The Quantize Song Data function will auto-
matically be exited when the data has been quantized.
NOTES
•Once quantized, song data cannot be returned to its original “free” form. It is therefore a
good idea to make a backup copy of the data before using this function.
•Only song data created by the PDP-400 can be quantized. Data converted by the DOC
Common Voice Conversion function (page 44) cannot be quantized.
•Only note and voice data is quantized.
