The Multi Pads

The PSR-530 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 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.

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 PADS, select the MULTI

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