Multi Pads

These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic

phrases as you play the PSR-172/170. There are a total of 40 different sounds or

phrases (10 banks, with four 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).

1Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is

selected in the display.

2Select the desired bank.

Use the numeric keypad to select the desired bank number (1 - 10). You can

also use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down

either button continuously increases or decreases the value. For a complete

list of the available banks and their contents, see page 57.

3Play the Multi Pads.

Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is ﬁnished.

Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a

“stutter” effect.

In the Style mode, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes.

All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. When

One Touch Setting (page 26) is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the

selected style are automatically called up. This applies to the DJ and Portable

Grand features as well.
