The Multi Pads The PSR-510 MULTI PADS can 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. Pads [1] and [2] play back exactly as recorded, while pads [3] and [4] are "CHORD MATCH" types which are automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-510 Auto-accompaniment feature. Each PAGE MEMORY holds a different set of MULTI PAD data, and these can be selected and played back simply by selecting the appropriate PAGE MEMORY. The MULTI PADs record the following operations and data: • Key on/off • DSP depth. (i.e. notes played on the keyboard). • Octave. • Key velocity. • Harmony on/off & harmony type. • Voice number (Percussion Kit Number). • Effect on/off & effect type. • Volume. • Sustain on/off. • Pan. • Pitch bend. NOTES • Before recording, each PAGE MEMORY contains a preset set of MULTI PAD data - 16 phrases in all - that will be erased when new MULTI PAD data is recorded. The original preset data can be restored by using the "Page Reset" function described on page 65.
