The Multi Pads

The PSR-A1000 Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that

can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances.

2Press any of the Multi Pads.

The corresponding phrase (in this case, for Pad 4) starts playing back in its entirety as

soon as the pad is pressed.

The Multi Pad function provides two different ways to stop in the middle of the

phrase :

• 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.

1Turn ACMP on (page 57).

2Play a chord with your left hand and press any of the Multi Pads.

In this example, the phrase for Pad 1 will be transposed into F major before playing back.

Try playing other chords and pressing the pads. Keep in mind that you can also change chords while a pad is playing back.
