In addition to the preset styles that come with each Yamaha model, there are also preset multi pads included with each Yamaha keyboard model. These multipads are used to add musical phrases to your performance. Here's how they are described in the Tyros5 Owners Manual:
The 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.
Multi Pads are grouped in Banks of four phrases each. The Tyros5 features a variety of Multi Pad Banks in a variety of different musical genres.
Morever, the Audio Link Multi Pad functions allows you to create a new pad with your WAVE (Audio) data to play back during your performance.
The introduction of Audio Link Multi Pads was new with the Genos2, Genos, Tyros5, PSR-SX920, PSR-SX900, PSR-S975, PSR-S970 and PSR-S950 models.
