Selecting and Playing Styles - The Style Mode Multi Pads These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic phrases as you play the PortaTone. There are a total of 40 different sounds or phrases (20 banks, with two pad sounds for each bank). The phrases play back at the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically along with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes). Select the Pad function in the Overall menu. Press one of the OVERALL s/t buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is selected in the display. MULTI PAD Current Pad bank number 01 Pianist1 TEMPO 116 Select the desired bank. Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the bank number. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value. For a complete list of the available banks and their contents, see page 46. Decreases Pad bank number Increases Pad bank number Play the Multi Pads. Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is finished. Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a "stutter" effect. In the Song and Style modes, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes. All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. When OTS is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the selected style are automatically called up. 40 38
