CHORD MATCH NOTES • Only the R1 and R2 orchestration parts can be recorded to the MULTI PADS. • If the MULTI PAD record ready mode is engaged, Auto Accompaniment is automatically turned off. • Turning the power OFF during record-ready mode of the Multi Pad erases the Multi Pad data in the currently selected page and restores its default data.

The [REC] button indicator will light during recording, and the BEAT indicator will indicate the current beat as in the Auto Accompaniment mode. NOTES • Whenever you record to a MULTI PAD, all previous data in the same pad will be completely erased and replaced by the new material. • Recording can also be started by pressing the [PLAY/STOP] button. • The MULTI PADS can also be recorded using the Step Record mode - see page 48. • When recording the CHORD MATCH pads - [3] and [4] - base all melodic and chordal phrases on a CM7 chord so that the sound will be properly transposed when used with the Auto Accompaniment feature (see "Playback" below).

STEP BWD STEP FWD s Playback 1 2 STOP 3 4 CHORD MATCH Simply tap any of the MULTI PADS at any time to play back the data they contain. 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. MULTI PADS [3] and [4] are "CHORD MATCH" types, and the data they contain will be automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-510 Auto Accompaniment feature. MULTI PAD playback can be terminated by pressing the MULTI PADS [STOP] button. NOTES • MULTI PAD playback speed is determined by the current TEMPO setting. • The contents of the MULTI PAD memory are retained in memory even when the power is turned off as long as batteries are present or an AC adapter is connected to the PSR-510 (see "PAGE MEMORY" on page 54 for details). • Percussion data recorded to either of the CHORD MATCH pads will play back in the same way as the normal pads. 44
