The Multi Pads
The PSR-4000 features 8 “MULTI PADs” above the keyboard that can be used in
two ways:
● PHRASE/CHORD: When the PHRASE/CHORD mode is selected, the 4 pads marked “PHRASE”
and the 4 pads marked “CHORD” can be used to record and play back
short sequences of notes and chords, respectively.
● PERCUSSION: In the PERCUSSION mode the pads can be used to play 8 different drum
and percussion instruments selected from the PSR-4000’s DRUM KIT
voices and Custom Voice DRUM KIT voice.
The PHRASE Pads (pads 1 … 4)
Each PHRASE pad can record up to approximately 350 notes played using the RIGHT 1,
RIGHT 2, or LEAD voices (only one of these voices is recorded). The recorded phrases can then
be played back at any time — even while playing on the keyboard, with or without accompani-
ment. The PHRASE pads record the following data:
The PHRASE/CHORD Mode
To engage the PHRASE/CHORD mode, press the [PHRASE/
CHORD - PERCUSSION] button so that the PHRASE/CHORD
indicator lights (the PHRASE/CHORD and PERCUSSION in-
dicators light alternately each time the button is pressed).
