JOHN....

Yes, I like using the performance pads during my play. It is easy to reach over with my left hand and punch one of the pad buttons.

When loading a Panel Memory with a specific rhythm and registration the pads are also included using the Expand option, the only option I use.

For Polka the Traditional 4/4 pads are a part of the registration I load to the PM.

I use Latin 1 with Latin music, Country with C&W, etc. Probably the Rock & Roll pads are my favorites...Gospel too!

My music sheets are marked (in pencil) with the PM # (C-5) and where I want to press which # of the programed pads.

This too really limits the drone of repititious same ole same ole of the rhythms...

Changing the 4 variations and turning the Sound Aranger OFF/ON during play also is a big help to avoid boredom...

I like to keep my arrangements simple and use the Performance Pads, Music Style Arranger Variations, and switching the on/off button of the Sound Arranger to add changes to the music...keep it interesting.

All of these can be done during the play..
