■ Multi Pad Realtime Recording............................................................................................

The explanations here apply when you call up the RECORD page in step #4 of the Basic Procedure on

page 124.

● Repeat On/Off

If the Repeat parameter is on for the selected pad, playback of the corresponding pad will continue

until the MULTI PAD [STOP] button is pressed. When you press the Multi Pads of which the Repeat

is turned on during song or style playback, playback will start and repeat in sync with the beat.

If the Repeat parameter is off for the selected pad, playback will end automatically as soon as the end

of the phrase is reached.

● Chord Match On/Off

If the Chord Match parameter is on for the selected pad, the corresponding pad is played back accord-

ing to the chord speciﬁed in the chord section of the keyboard generated by turning [ACMP] on, or

speciﬁed in the LEFT voice section of the keyboard generated by turning [LEFT] on (when turning

the [ACMP] off).

■ Multi Pad Step Recording using the Event List..........................................................

The explanations here apply to when you call up the EDIT page in step #4 of the Basic Procedure on

page 124. The EDIT page indicates the Event list that lets you record notes with absolutely precise

timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (pages 100 -

105), with the exception of the points listed below:

• There is no LCD button for switching channels, since Multi Pads contain data for only a single

channel.

• In the Multi Pad Creator, only the channel events and System Exclusive messages can be entered.

Chord and Lyrics events are not available. You can switch between the two types of Event Lists by

pressing the LCD [F] button.
