About the color of the Multi Pads
Green: Indicates that the corresponding pad contains data (phrase).
Red: Indicates that the corresponding pad is playing back.
Red (flashing): Indicates that the corresponding pad is in standby (Synchro Start).

Using the Multi Pad Synchro Start Function 
While holding the MULTI PAD CONTROL [SELECT] button, press one of the MULTI PAD CONTROL [1] to [4] buttons to put the Multi Pad playback in standby. The corresponding button will flash in red. You can even play two, three, or four Multi Pads at the same time.
The Multi Pad currently set to standby will start playing when you play back a Style, press any note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off), or play a chord with your left hand (when [ACMP] is on). If you put the Multi Pad in standby during Song/Style playback, pressing any note on the keyboard will start the Multi Pad playback at the top of next bar.
When two or more Multi Pads are in standby, pressing one of them simultaneously starts all Multi Pads that are set to standby.
To cancel Synchro Start, while holding the MULTI PAD CONTROL [SELECT] (or [STOP]) button, press one of the [1] to [4] buttons. Pressing the MULTI PAD CONTROL [STOP] button once cancels Synchro Start of all buttons.

Using Chord Match
Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these phrases automatically change chords along with the chords you play with your left hand. When the [ACMP] is on or LEFT part is on, simply play a chord with your left hand and press any of the Multi Pads-Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match.
