Selecting a MULTI PAD Set

The PSR-530 has 36 multi pad sets, each containing a complete set of 4 MULTI

PAD phrases — 144 phrases in all. Before using the MULTI P ADS, select the MUL TI

PAD set containing the phrases you want to use as follows:

1Select the Multi Pad Function

To select a multi pad set first use the MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons to select the

MULTI PAD function so that the triangular indicator in the display appears next to

“MULTI PAD” to the left of the display.

2Select a Multi Pad Set Number

If necessary use the SUB MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons so that the name of the

currently selected MULTI PAD set appears on the display (see list on page 50), then

use the [–] and [+], number buttons, or data dial to select the MULTI PAD set you want

to use.

• Press and hold the

MULTI PAD [STOP]

button for a few sec-

onds to go directly to

the MULTI PAD SET

display.

The PSR-530 MULTI PADS can be used to pla y a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and

melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard perfor-

mances. You can also record your own MULTI PAD phrases as described in “MULTI PAD

Recording” on page 71.

Some pad phrases simply play back as programmed, while others are “chord match” types

which, if the CHORD MATCH function is turned on, are automatically transposed to match

chords played using the PSR-530 Auto Accompaniment feature.
