About the color of the Multi Pads
• Green: Indicates that the corresponding pad contains data (phrase).
• Red: Indicates that the corresponding pad is playing back.
●
Multi Pad data
There are two types of Multi Pad data. Some types will play back once and stop when
they reach to the end.
Others will play back repeatedly until you press the [STOP] button.
●
Stopping playback of the Multi Pads
• To stop all pads, press and release the [STOP] button.
• To stop specific pads, simultaneously hold down the [STOP] button and press the
pad or pads you wish to stop.
Using Chord Match
Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these phrases automatically change chords as you do
with your left hand. While a style is playing back and [ACMP] is on, simply play a chord with your left hand and press any of
the Multi Pads — Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. You can also use this with the style stopped (with
the Stop Accompaniment function; page 33). Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match.
