Using Auto Accompaniment
The PSR-520 has 100 different accompaniment “styles” that can be used
to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR-
520’s sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system can provide automated
bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accom-
paniment style.
• The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-520 keyboard is
reduced when the Accompaniment is used.

About the PSR-520 Styles
The styles are created with the “Style File Format”, Yamaha’s original auto-accom-
paniment format which has evolved through years of development and refinement.
Style File Format allows you to use exceptionally high quality accompaniments with
a variety of chord types through its unique conversion system. Style File Format
styles, based on GM system level 1, can be played with the GM compatible tone
generator. In addition to the internal styles, the optional music cartridges let you use
different high quality styles created with the Style File Format.
