The Multi Pads

The PSR-620 MULTI PADS can be used to play 84 short pre-recorded
rhythmic and melodic sequences, that can be used to add impact and
variety to your keyboard performances. Some of the pad phrases simply
play back as programmed, while others are "chord match" types which are
automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-620
Auto Accompaniment feature.
The PSR-620 MULTI PADS can also be used to record short rhythmic or
melodic sequences, percussion fill-ins, or single percussion sounds that
can be played at any time simply by pressing the appropriate pad. Multi
pad kit number 22 is available for recording your own data (the user pad
kit). Only one set of MULTI PAD data can be retained in the PSR-620
memory at a time, but any number of MULTI PAD sets can be saved to
floppy disk and then reloaded later when needed (see page 66).
The PSR-620 has 21 multi pad kits, each containing a complete set of 4 MULTI PAD phrases — 84
phrases in all. Before using the MULTI PADS, select the MULTI PAD kit containing the phrases you want to
use as follows:
