Working with the PAD MOTION Function

To record a pad move, push up and hold the PAD MOTION / MUTE lever. Recording will begin as soon as you touch the X-Y pad. Recording will end once you release the lever or reach the maximum recording time (approximately 3.2 seconds). This means you can record yourself tapping on the pad as well, as long as you hold the lever up while tapping. To playback what was recorded, push and hold the PAD MOTION / MUTE lever. The recorded moves will playback in a loop as long as the lever is held. If you touch the X-Y pad while playing back a PAD MOTION you will erase it and start recording again. Also, PAD MOTION moves are lost when you select a new program.
