The Multi Pads

Play the Required Chords

Recording begins automatically as soon as you play a chord

on the left-hand section of the keyboard, and the REC/STOP
indicator will light continuously as long as recording continues.

Stop Recording

Press the [REC/STOP] button or the pad being recorded to

stop recording when you’ve finished playing the chords. The
[REC/STOP] button indicator will go out when recording ends.

NOTES

• Recording will stop automatically if the CHORD pad memory becomes

full (approximately 50 chords per pad); if another pad is pressed; or if the
accompaniment [START/STOP], or [SYNCHRO START] button is
pressed.

• Quarter note intervals are the smallest intervals possible to record.

Chord Playback

.............................................................................................................................................................................

As long as the PHRASE/CHORD mode is selected and an

AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is playing, any recorded
chord sequence can be played back simply by pressing the
corresponding CHORD pad. The chord sequence will play back
at the currently set tempo. The PHRASE/CHORD PLAYING
indicator will light while the chord sequence plays back, and
playback will end automatically as soon as the end of the
sequence is reached. Only one chord sequence can be played at
a time.

During chord pad playback the AUTO BASS CHORD indica-

tor will go out and the left-hand section of the keyboard plays in
the same way as the right-hand section. To indicate that the end
of the chord sequence is approaching, the PHRASE/CHORD
PLAYING indicator flashes during the last two measures (if the
REPEAT mode is not engaged — see below). A chord sequence
that is playing can be stopped by pressing the same chord pad
again, or by pressing the [REC/STOP] button. The AUTO BASS
CHORD function will continue playing the last chord played in
the chord sequence.

NOTES

• If you press a CHORD pad while the accompaniment is stopped or while

the AUTO BASS CHORD function is off, “Engage ABC to play the chord
pads” will appear on the display. Also, if AUTO BASS CHORD is on but
the MANUAL MIDI BASS mode is selected, “Engage SF, FC1, FC2,
FULL KEYBOARD, or AUTO MIDI BASS mode to play the chord pads”
will appear on the display, since chord playback will not function in the
MANUAL MIDI BASS mode.

• Chord pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk (page 90), but can

not be memorized by the Registration feature (page 43).

• Playback occurs in measure units. Playback will continue until the end of

the measure even if recording was stopped prior to the end of that
measure.
