The Multi Pads
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 MULTI PADS can be used to record short rhythmic or melodic sequences, percus-
sion fill-ins, or single percussion sounds that can be played at any time simply by pressing the appropriate pad. Pads
[1] and [2] play back exactly as recorded, while pads [3] and [4] are “CHORD MATCH” types which are automati-
cally transposed to match chords played using the Auto-accompaniment feature.
Only one set of MULTI PAD data can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but any
number of MULTI PAD sets can be saved to floppy disks and then reloaded later when needed (page 56).
The MULTI PADs record the following operations and data:
• Key on/off
(i.e. notes played on the keyboard).
• Key velocity.
• Voice number (Percussion Kit, Sampled
Voice Number (PSR-2700)).
• Volume.
• Pan.
• DSP depth.
NOTES
• Before recording, the PSR-1700/PSR-2700
memory contains a preset set of MULTI PAD
data that will be erased when new MULTI PAD
data is recorded. The original preset data can
be restored by using the “System Reset” func-
tion described on page 82.
