MULTI PLAYING
The PSR-5700 features 8 “PADs” above the keyboard that can be used in a variety of ways:
●
MULTI:
When the MULTI mode is selected, the 4 pads marked “PHRASE” and the 4 pads marked
“CHORD” can be used to record and play back short sequences of notes and chords, respec-
tively.
●
PERC:
In the PERC mode the pads can be used to play 8 different drum and percussion instruments
selected from the PSR-5700’s drum voices — 98 DRUM KIT and 99 POP DRUM KIT.
●
TEMPO:
In the TEMPO mode the pads are used to vary tempo in a number of ways, giving the PSR-
5700 unprecedented capability for creative tempo variations while playing.

To engage the MULTI mode, press the [MODE SELECT] button a few times until the MULTI
indicator lights.
Preset data is initially recorded in pads 1 through 8.
Each PHRASE pad can record up to approximately 160 notes played using the ORCH. 1 voice
(only the ORCH. 1 voice is recorded even if the ORCH. 2+1 orchestration mode is selected). The
recorded phrases can then be played back at any time — even while playing on the keyboard, with or
without accompaniment. The PHRASE pads record the following data:
• VOICE NUMBER
(ORCH. 1)
• NOTE ON/OFF
(ORCH. 1)
• MODULATION
(when MODULATION is ON for ORCHESTRA 1: see page 39 of the Advanced Features manual)
• ORCHESTRA 1 VOLUME
• SUSTAIN ON/OFF
(when SUSTAIN is ON for ORCHESTRA 1: see page 38 of the Advanced Features manual)
• PITCH BEND
(when PITCH BEND is ON for ORCHESTRA 1: see page 39 of the Advanced Features manual)
• GLIDE ON/OFF
(when GLIDE is ON for ORCHESTRA 1: see page 37 of the Advanced Features manual)
• OCTAVE CHANGE
(ORCH. 1)
The data listed above is also recorded if it is received via the PSR-5700 MIDI interface (Advanced Features
manual, page 246).
Pad data can be saved to floppy disk. See page 46 of the Advanced Features manual for details.
