THE CONTROLS AND

CONNECTORS

q [POWER] Switch

Press the [POWER] switch once to turn the power

ON, a second time to turn the power OFF. When the

power is initially turned ON, the PIANO 1 voice se-

lector LED will light.

w [MASTER VOLUME] Control

The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the vol-

ume (level) of sound produced by the PDP-300. The

[MASTER VOLUME] control also adjusts headphone

volume when a pair of headphones is plugged into the

HEADPHONE jack i.

e [REVERB] Button

The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital

effects that you can use for extra depth and expres-

sive power.

To select an effect press the [REVERB] button a

few times until the indicator corresponding to the de-

sired effect lights (the indicators light in sequence

each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No ef-

fect is produced when all indicators are off.

PEDAL

When the PEDAL indicator is lit, a subtle but warm

reverb effect is added to the sound whenever the

damper pedal is pressed.

ROOM

This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the

sound that is similar to the type of acoustic rever-

beration you would hear in a medium-size room.

HALL

For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL

setting. This effect simulates the natural reverbera-

tion of a large concert hall.

Note: When the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON all

reverb effects are turned OFF.

r [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button allows access to

the PDP-300’s TRANSPOSE function (to shift the

pitch of the entire keyboard up or down) and MIDI

functions. For details refer to the “TRANSPOSI-

TION” and “MIDI FUNCTIONS” sections on pages 7

and 8, respectively.

t Voice Selectors

The PDP-300 has six voice selectors. Simply press

any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding

voice. The LED indicator above the voice selector

will light to indicate which voice is currently se-

lected.

The PDP-300 also has a DUAL mode in which two

voices can be played simultaneously across the full

range of the keyboard — see page 7 for details.

Note: The PIANO 1 voice is automatically selected

whenever the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON.

y Soft/Sostenuto Pedal

This pedal has two distinct modes — “soft” and

“sostenuto” — which can be selected as required.

The Soft Mode

This is the normal mode for the Soft/Sostenuto

pedal, and is automatically selected when the power

is initially turned ON.

In this mode, pressing the pedal reduces the vol-

ume and slightly changes the timbre of notes

played.

The Sostenuto Mode

From the normal Soft mode, the Sostenuto mode

can be selected by holding down the [MIDI/

TRANSPOSE] button r and pressing the Soft/

Sostenuto pedal once.

In the sostenuto mode, if you play a note or

chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while the

note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as

long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had

been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will

not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a

chord, for example, while other notes are played

“staccato.”

From the Sostenuto mode it is possible to return

to the Soft pedal mode by holding down the [MIDI/

TRANSPOSE] button and pressing the Soft/Sos-

tenuto pedal.
