The Multi Pads
C
Assign the Instruments
A new drum/percussion instrument is assigned
to a pad simply by playing the key corresponding to
the desired instrument while holding the pad to
which it is to be assigned. The reverse also works:
press the pad while holding the key. The velocity at
which you play the key (how hard you press the key
= how loud the note sounds) is also recorded to the
specified pad.
NOTES
• Percussion voices created using the CUSTOM VOICE
EDIT functions described on page 78 can also be as-
signed to the percussion pads.
V
Press [REC/STOP] To End Assignment
When you’re finished making instrument as-
signments to the PERCUSSION pads, press the
[REC/STOP] button so that its indicator goes out.
NOTES
• Percussion pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk
(page 90), but can not be memorized by the Registration
feature (page 43).

Playing the Percussion Pads
.........................................................................................................................................
The PERCUSSION pads can be played at any
time — whether an accompaniment is playing or not
— as long as the PERCUSSION mode is selected.
Depending on the assigned instrument, some pads
will play continuously as long as they are held.
NOTES
• The PERCUSSION pad sounds are not affected by the
PSR-4000 PITCH BEND wheel or MODULATION wheel.
