Playback

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-410 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.
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-410 (see "PAGE MEMORY" on page 41
for details).
Percussion data recorded to either of the CHORD MATCH pads will play back in the same way as the nor-
mal pads.
Press one of the MULTI PAD buttons — [1] through [4] — while holding
the [REC] button. The [REC] button indicator and the selected MULTI PAD
indictor will flash to indicate that the record ready mode is engaged, and the
metronome will begin to sound at the currently selected tempo if the OVER-
ALL CONTROL section [METRONOME] button indicator is lit.
Only the R1 and R2 orchestration parts can be recorded to the MULTI
PADS.
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.
Play a short sequence. The MULTI PADS can record up to approxi-
mately 450 quarter notes in each PAGE MEMORY. The [REC] button indi-
cator 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
completely erased and replaced by the new material.
Recording can also be started by pressing the [PLAY/STOP] button.
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 PAD
[STOP] button, or the [PLAY/STOP] button to stop recording. Record-
ing will also stop automatically and "End" will appear on the MULTI
DISPLAY when the pad memory becomes full.
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
pressed. You can even play two, three, or four MULTI PADS at the same
time. Also, you can create "retriggered sample" effects by repeatedly
pressing a pad before its contents are completely played back.
