Press [REC/STOP] To End Assignment
When you're finished making instrument assignments
to the PERC pads, press the [REC/STOP] button so that its
indicator goes out.
NOTES
• Percussion pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk
(page 95, 96), but can not be memorized by the Panel
Registration feature (page 41).

Playing the Percussion Pads

The PERC pads can be played at any time — whether
an accompaniment is playing or not — as long as the PERC
mode is selected. Depending on the assigned instrument,
some pads will play continuously as long as they are held.
NOTES
• The PERC pad sounds are not affected by the PSR-6000
PITCH BEND wheel or EFFECT settings.

The PERC BREAK Function

If you press the button immediately to the right of the
pad [MODE SELECT] button so that the indicator above
it lights while the PERC mode is engaged, the PERC
BREAK function is engaged — playing on the PERC pads
causes the accompaniment rhythm to stop playing so you
can create your own fill-in. The accompaniment rhythm
begins playing from the beginning of the next measure
when you stop playing the percussion pads.
The BREAK mode is turned off by pressing the button
to the right of the [MODE SELECT] button again.
