Multi Pads
– Adding Musical Phrases to Your Performance –
The Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-
recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences adding impact and
variety to your keyboard performances.
Multi Pads are grouped in Banks of four each. The instrument
features a variety of Multi Pad Banks in a variety of different
musical genres.
Moreover, the Audio Link Multi Pad function allows you to
