The 9000Pro Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic
sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances.
Playing the Multi Pads

Bank.
2
Press any of the Multi Pads.
The corresponding phrase (in this case, for Pad 4) starts
playing back in its entirety as soon as the pad is pressed.
The Multi Pad function provides two different ways to
stop in the middle of the phrase :
• To stop all pads, press and release the [STOP] button.
• To stop specific pads, simultaneously hold down the
[STOP] button and press the pad or pads you wish to
stop.

Play a chord with your left hand and press any of the Multi
Pads.
In this example, the phrase for Pad 1 will be transposed into F major before
playing back.
Try playing other chords and pressing the pads. Keep in mind that you can also
change chords while a pad is playing back.
