Using Auto Accompaniment

Synchronized start:

Any of the above start types can be synchronized to the first note or
chord played on the left-hand section of the keyboard (i.e. keys to the left
of and including the split-point key — normally 54) by first pressing the
[SYNC-START/STOP] button. Pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP]
button alone causes a straight start to occur when the first note or chord
is played. Press [SYNC-START/STOP] and then the appropriate
[INTRO] and [MAIN] buttons for a synchronized introduction start. The
BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized start
mode has been selected. The synchro start mode can be disengaged prior
to actually starting the accompaniment by pressing the [SYNC-START/
STOP]
button a second time.

• If you press the [SYNC-START/

STOP] button while the accom-
paniment is playing, the accom-
paniment will stop and the
synchro start mode will be en-
gaged.

• The [INTRO] button can be used

to select the INTRO section even
while the accompaniment is
playing.

• If you press and hold the [SYNC-

START/STOP] button the “Initial
Send” function will be selected —
see page 59.

• The accompaniment split point

can be changed via the “Accom-
paniment Split Point” function in
the OVERALL function group —
see page 30.

Play On the Auto-accompaniment Section
Of the Keyboard

...........................................................................................................................................

As soon as you play any fingering that the PSR-320/420 can “recognize”

on the left-hand section of the keyboard (or anywhere on the keyboard if the
FULL fingering mode is selected), the PSR-320/420 will automatically be-
gin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass
line. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the keys.

The Beat Indicator

The four dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the se-
lected tempo and beat as shown below.
