User manual YAMAHA PDP100

[. . . ] In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following: Battery Notice: This product MAY contain a small nonrechargeable battery which (if applicable) is soldered in place. The average life span of this type of battery is approximately five years. When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. Warning: Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, or incinerate this type of battery. [. . . ] Polyphony in the DUAL mode is as follows: Notes/voice 16 + 16 8 + 16 Polyphony 8 5 TRANSPOSITION The Transposition 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-300 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F # 5 through F#6 on the keyboard are used for transposition. Press a key between F #5 and F#6 according to the desired amount of transposition. * 3. Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. * Pressing the C6 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C6 (B5) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left (B b 5) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc. , down to the F#5 key which transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to the right of C6, up to F #6 which transposes up 6 semitones. Note: The normal keyboard pitch is automatically selected when the power is turned ON. TOUCH SENSITIVITY The PDP-300 can be set to one of three different types of keyboard touch sensitivity -- HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT -- to match different playing styles and preferences. The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness. The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response. This setting is automatically selected whenever the power is turned ON. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequencer, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequencer to "play" two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators. In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An "OMNI" receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to the the transmit channel of the transmitting device (except when receiving mode messages). MIDI "Messages" Transmitted & Received by the PDP-300 The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the PDP-300 is as follows: Note and Velocity Data This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is transmitted by the PDP-300 whenever a key is pressed, and the PDP-300's internal AWM tone generator will "play" the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device. Setting the MIDI Channels 1. Press the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired MIDI transmit or receive channel. * 3. Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. * Keys C1 through D 2 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI transmit channel, and keys C3 through D #4 are used to turn the OMNI mode OFF and set the MIDI receive channel as shown in the illustration below. Note: When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to the OMNI mode and the transmit channel is set to 1. Program Change Numbers The PDP-300 transmits a MIDI program number between 0 and 5 when one of its voice selectors is pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on a receiving MIDI device. [. . . ] Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the PDP-300 The PDP-300 contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the PDP-300 further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa. Distorted Sound When the PDP-300 is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System If the PDP-300 is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the setting of the PDP-300 volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.
