Otherwise the keyboard functions normally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recognition is the same as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode all notes you play on the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted as the Auto Accompaniment chord. NOTES • A single note played more than one octave below the lowest note in a chord will be interpreted as a bass note, and notes played more than an 11th above the lowest chord note will be interpreted as melody. Playing Chords When the Accompaniment is Stopped Chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except in the Full fingering mode).
