● 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.
