Don't have a PSR, so can't help you with #1.
On #2, loudness is a function of two factors. First, how hard you hit the key (called velocity in a midi file), and the volume setting. Each setting is a number from 0 to 127.
So, within a multipad, you can have a velocity of 50 for one note, and a velocity of 100 for another. The second note is twice as loud as the first.
Once you've created the multipad, its overall volume is controlled in the mixer. A volume of 100 is normal (no change from the recorded loudness). A volume of 120 is 20% louder, and volume of 50 is half as loud.

Thanks, Fred, for your speedy reply.
Let's assume that I have recorded a string voice multipad at velocity 50 and volume 80, and another with the same velocity (50) but higher volume (120). Having been created, will both sound different at the same overall mixer volume level? Or are all multipads recorded at a default recording volume of 100 regardless of the level set before the recording?
As for the timpani roll, does your keyboard model have such a multipad? If yes, can you please let me know the bank name so that I could explore it in my SX900? Otherwise, do you know of such a multipad shared in the PSR Tutorial site?
Sorry for all the questions but I do appreciate your spending time to help clueless members like me here, lol.
