This section explains two important functions of the Multi Pads that are not covered in the “Quick Guide.”
For basic information on using the Multi Pads, refer to page 34 in the “Quick Guide.”
Turning Chord Match and Repeat On/Off
■
Repeat
Unless the Repeat function is on for the selected pad, playback will end automatically
as soon as the end of the phrase is reached. A phrase can be stopped while it is playing
by pressing the MULTI PAD [STOP] button.
■
Chord Match
If a Multi Pad is played while Auto Accompaniment is playing and the Chord Match
function for that pad is ON, the phrase will be automatically re-harmonized to match
the accompaniment chords.
Since all Multi Pad data is stored to Flash ROM, all of the factory programmed Multi Pad banks will be replaced by your
new settings. If you've deleted the factory-set data, you can use the Restore function (page 130) to load a copy of it from
the included disks (page 6).
For details about Flash ROM, refer to “Memory Structure” on page 50.
CAUTION
The Repeat and Chord Match settings for the Multi Pads are stored together in a group of 58 banks. For this rea-
son, you should be careful when making edits and storing your edits, since all 58 banks will be overwritten with
the new data.
