S970 manual page 79......

You can play the Multi Pad to which the audio file is assigned by selecting them in
the USER or USB tab of the Multi Pad Bank Selection display. Although you can play them via the same operations in page 76,
note the following limitations.

• Make sure to connect the USB flash drive including the corresponding audio files
(WAV).
• Automatic repeat playback is not available.
• Only one Pad can be played back at once....
• Chord Match cannot be applied.

Thanks for looking that up for me. So basically the audio links or audio multipads still work the same as on the Tyros 5. Hopefully Yamaha will improve upon these limitations in upcoming models and allow Chord Match, multi audio multipad playback, and repeat. The technology is already within the machine, Yamaha just needs to expand the capabilities. Possibly even through firmware updates.

The new S970 is one fine arranger and great value for the money. Still love the additional features on the Tyros 5 and look forward to seeing and hearing new models as they came out, regardless of make and model.
