Using The Multi Pad Synchro Start Function; Using Chord Match - Yamaha PSR-A2000 Owner's Manual

Using the Multi Pad Synchro Start Function

While holding the MULTI PAD CONTROL [SELECT] button, press one of the
MULTI PAD CONTROL [1] – [4] buttons to put the Multi Pad playback in standby.
The corresponding button will flash in red. You can even play two, three, or four
Multi Pads at the same time.
The Multi Pad currently set to standby will start playing when you play back a Style,
press any note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off), or play a chord with your left
hand (when [ACMP] is on). If you put the Multi Pad in standby during Song/Style
playback, pressing any note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off), or playing a
chord with your left hand (when [ACMP] is on) will start the Multi Pad playback at
the top of the next bar.
When two or more Multi Pads are in standby, pressing one of them simultaneously
starts all Multi Pads that are set to standby.
To cancel Synchro Start, while holding the MULTI PAD CONTROL [SELECT] (or
[STOP]) button, press one of the [1] – [4] buttons. Pressing the MULTI PAD
CONTROL [STOP] button once cancels Synchro Start of all buttons.

Using Chord Match

Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these
phrases automatically change chords along with the chords you play with your left
hand. When the [ACMP] is on or LEFT part is on, simply play a chord with your left
hand and press any of the Multi Pads— Chord Match changes the pitch to match the
chords you play. Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord
Match.
Chord Section
In this example, the phrase for Pad 1 will be transposed into F major before playing
back. Try out other various chord types while playing the Multi Pads.
