Playing the Percussion Pads
The PERC BREAK Function
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
a r e held.
The PERC pad sounds are not affected by the PSR-5700 PITCH BEND wheel
or EFFECT settings.
If you press the button immediately to the right of the pad [MODE SE-
LECT] 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 be-
ginning 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.
