SELECTING AND PLAYING STYLES — THE STYLE MODE

MULTI PADS

These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic phrases as you play the PortaTone. There are a total of 40 different sounds or phrases (20 banks, with two pad sounds for each bank). The phrases play back at the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically along with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).

Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.

Press the OVERALL t button, repeatedly if necessary, until

MULTI PAD is selected in the display.

Select the desired bank.

Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the bank number. Holding down either button continuously increases or de- creases the value. For a complete list of the available banks and their contents, see page 45.

Play the Multi Pads.

Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is finished. Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase com- pletely plays back) creates a “stutter” effect.

In the Song and Style modes, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes. All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. When OTS is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the selected style are auto- matically called up.
