The Multi Pads; Selecting A Multi Pad Kit - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-320 Owner's Manual

The Multi Pads

The PSR-320/420 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 and SONG record-
ings. Some of the pad phrases simply play back as programmed, while
others are "chord match" types which are automatically transposed to
match chords played using the PSR-320/420 Auto Accompaniment
feature.
The PSR-320 has 11 multi pad kits and the PSR-420 has 14, each containing a complete set of 4 MULTI
PAD phrases — 44 and 56 phrases in all, respectively. Before using the MULTI PADS, select the MULTI
PAD containing the phrases you want to use as follows:
