If the Repeat parameter is on for the selected pad, playback of the corre-

Multi Pad Step Recording (EDIT)
Step Recording can be executed in the EDIT page. After selecting a Multi Pad in
step 5 of the Multi Pad Realtime Recording on page 128, press the TAB [√][®]
buttons to select the EDIT tab. The EDIT page indicates the Event list that lets you
record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is
essentially the same as that for Song Recording (pages 148–157), with the excep-
tion of the points listed below:
• There is no menu for switching channels, since Multi Pads contain data for only a
single channel.
• In the Multi Pad Creator, only the channel events can be entered and the System
Exclusive messages can be edited. Chord and Lyrics events are not available. You
can switch between the two types of Event Lists by pressing the [F] button.
Multi Pads indicated with the fol-
lowing icon (hand on fretboard)
are created with special note
transpositions to produce the
natural chord voicing of the gui-
tar. Because of this, if the Chord
Match setting is set to off, the
Multi Pads may not sound appro-
priately.
