Auto Accompaniment Using Auto Accompaniment - Multi Fingering When it is set to on (page 36), the auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard using either the "Single Finger" or "Fingered" method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PSR-350 "understands" what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment. s Single Finger Chords Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh.
