they reach to the end.

Others will play back repeatedly until you press the [STOP] button.

Using Chord Match

Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these phrases automatically change chords as you do

with your left hand. While a style is playing back and [ACMP] is on, simply play a chord with your left hand and press any of

the Multi Pads — Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. You can also use this with the style stopped (with

the Stop Accompaniment function; page 33).Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match.
