Playing the Percussion Pads
The PERC pads can be played at any time — whether an accompaniment
is playing or not — as long as the PERC mode is selected. Depending on
the assigned instrument, some pads will play continuously as long as they
are held.
The PERC pad sounds are not affected by the PSR-5700 PITCH BEND wheel
or EFFECT settings.
If you press the button immediately to the right of the pad [MODE SE-
LECT] button so that the indicator above it lights while the PERC mode is
engaged, the PERC BREAK function is engaged — playing on the PERC
pads causes the accompaniment rhythm to stop playing so you can create
your own fill-in. The accompaniment rhythm begins playing from the be-
ginning of the next measure when you stop playing the percussion pads.
The BREAK mode is turned off by pressing the button to the right of the
[MODE SELECT] button again.
