Yamaha PSR - 175 Manual Do Utilizador

Selecting and Playing Styles

Multi Pads

These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic 
phrases as you play the PSR-175/172.  There are a total of 40 different sounds or 
phrases (10 banks, with four pad sounds for each bank).  The phrases play back at 
the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically along 
with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is 
selected in the display.

Use the numeric keypad to select the desired bank number (1 - 10).  You can 
also use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value.  Holding down 
either button continuously increases or decreases the value.  For a complete 
list of the available banks and their contents, see page 57.

Press one of the Pads.  The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is finished.  
Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a 
“stutter” effect.

In the Style mode, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes.  
All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting.  When 
One Touch Setting (page 26) is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the 
selected style are automatically called up. This applies to the DJ and Portable 
Grand features as well.
