How many of you guys (and ladies) use the arranger's Mulit-pads? As I have mentioned several times before, the multipad feature on both the Yamaha & Technics keyboards are really a terrific feature which gives us the ability to provide even more 'live feel' to our arranger keyboard performance. The problem is that it's often difficult (if not impossible) to play them concurrently while playing the keyboard with BOTH hands at the same time. I only wish the multipads could be triggered via multiple foot controler pedals which would free BOTH hands to actually playing the keyboard. I brought this up with Steve Deming (Yamaha) and he concurred that adding foot controler access would improve the mulitpad feature and promised to forward my request to Japan or whoever at Yamaha is responsible for product development.

In the meantime, I hope the other arranger keyboard manufacters are listening too, and will seriously consider adding the muti-pad feature as well as having the multipads trigger-able via remote foot controler pedals as well.

Dan O'Neil & AJ (Ketron). I think the above feature would really enhance the SD1/XD9. Could you guys possibly suggest this to Sandro (real nicely)

Thanks,

Scott
