The MULTI PAD voices are independent from the voices you have currently selected for keyboard per-
formance. You could, for example, play piano on the keyboard while a MULTI PAD plays a brass chord stab.
MULTI PADS [3] and [4] are "CHORD MATCH" types, and the data they contain will be automatically
transposed to match chords played using the PSR-510 Auto Accompaniment feature.
MULTI PAD playback can be terminated by pressing the MULTI PADS [STOP] button.
• MULTI PAD playback speed is determined by the current TEMPO setting.
NOTES
• The contents of the MULTI PAD memory are retained in memory even when the power is turned off as long
as batteries are present or an AC adapter is connected to the PSR-510 (see "PAGE MEMORY" on page 54
for details).
• Percussion data recorded to either of the CHORD MATCH pads will play back in the same way as the nor-
mal pads.

NOTES
Play a short sequence. The MULTI PADS can record up to approximately
450 quarter notes in each PAGE MEMORY. The [REC] button indicator will
light during recording, and the BEAT indicator will indicate the current beat
as in the Auto Accompaniment mode.
• Whenever you record to a MULTI PAD, all previous data in the same pad will be
NOTES
completely erased and replaced by the new material.
• Recording can also be started by pressing the [PLAY/STOP] button.
• The MULTI PADS can also be recorded using the Step Record mode — see page 48.
• When recording the CHORD MATCH pads — [3] and [4] — base all melodic and
chordal phrases on a CM7 chord so that the sound will be properly transposed when
used with the Auto Accompaniment feature (see "Playback" below).
Press the MULTI PAD button being recorded, the MULTI PADS
3 4
[STOP] button or the [PLAY/STOP] button to stop recording. Record-
ing will also stop automatically and "End" will appear on the MULTI
CHORD MATCH
DISPLAY when the pad memory becomes full.
STEP
FWD
Simply tap any of the MULTI PADS at any time to play back the data
they contain. MULTI PAD playback begins as soon as the button is
3 4
pressed. You can even play two, three, or four MULTI PADS at the same
time. Also, you can create "retriggered sample" effects by repeatedly
CHORD MATCH
pressing a pad before its contents are completely played back.
• Only the R1 and R2 orchestration parts can be recorded to the MULTI
PADS.
• If the MULTI PAD record ready mode is engaged, Auto Accompani-
ment is automatically turned off.
• Turning the power OFF during record-ready mode of the Multi Pad
erases the Multi Pad data in the currently selected page and re-
stores its default data.
