Yamaha PSR-2700 Owner's Manual - Page 47

The Multi Pads The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 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 Auto-accompaniment feature. Only one set of MULTI PAD data can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but any number of MULTI PAD sets can be saved to floppy disks and then reloaded later when needed (page 56). The MULTI PADs record the following operations and data: • Key on/off • Octave. (i.e. notes played on the keyboard). • Harmony on/off & harmony type. • Key velocity. • Effect on/off & effect type. • Voice number (Percussion Kit, Sampled Voice Number (PSR-2700)). • Sustain on/off (footswitch). • Volume. • Pitch bend. • Pan. • Modulation. • DSP depth. • Expression (foot controller). NOTES • Before recording, the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 memory contains a preset set of MULTI PAD data that will be erased when new MULTI PAD data is recorded. The original preset data can be restored by using the "System Reset" function described on page 82.
