Using Pads
You can assign various sampled sound or short
phrases* to the Digital Keyboard’s pads. You can
sound what is assigned to pads individually, you can
sound multiple pads at the same time. A collection of
pad sounds is called a “bank”.
* The MZ-X500 (only) also has built-in chord
progressions that can be used as Auto
Accompaniments.
You can assign short phrases to the Digital Keyboard’s
pads, which you can then play along with Auto
Accompaniment. These phrases can be used to add
accents to your performance or to Auto
Accompaniment.
You can also automatically assign phrases that are
appropriate for the currently selected tone (Upper 1) to
pads with the touch of a button.
