Quick Guide The Multi Pads Reference on page 124 The Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances.

MULTI PAD CONTROL STOP The corresponding phrase (in this case, for Pad 1) starts playing back in its entirety as soon as the pad is pressed. To stop it, press and release the [STOP] button. G About the color of the Multi Pads • Green: Indicates that the corresponding pad contains data (phrase). • Red: Indicates that the corresponding pad is playing back. G Multi Pad data There are two types of Multi Pad data. Some types will play back once and stop when they reach to the end. Others will play back repeatedly until you press the [STOP] button. G Stopping playback of the Multi Pads • To stop all pads, press and release the [STOP] button. • To stop specific pads, simultaneously hold down the [STOP] button and press the pad or pads you wish to stop. • Simply tap any of the Multi Pads at any time to play back the corresponding phrase at the currently set tempo. • You can even play two, three, or four Multi Pads at the same time. • Pressing the pad during its playback will stop playing and begin playing from the top again. Using Chord Match Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these phrases automatically change chords as you do with your left hand. While a style is playing back and [ACMP] is on, simply play a chord with your left hand and press any of the Multi Pads - Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. You can also use this with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function; page 33). Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match. MULTI PAD CONTROL STOP Chord section In this example, the phrase for Pad 2 will be transposed into F major before playing back. Try out other various chord types while playing the Multi Pads. 38 TYROS Owner's Manual 36
