Playing The Multi Pads - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-320 Owner's Manual

Simply tap any of the MULTI PADS at any time to play back the corre-
sponding phrase. 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.
The MULTI PAD voices are independent from the voices you have currently
selected for keyboard performance. You could, for example, play piano on the
keyboard while a MULTI PAD plays a brass chord stab.
When a "chord match" type MULTI PAD phrase is played, the phrase will
be automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-320/420
Auto-accompaniment feature.
