RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction Any of the PSR-200/PSR-300 accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. The intro pattern will repeat as long as the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is held. Once the button is released, the normal pattern will begin playing from the top of the next measure. Adding Fill-ins To add a short fill-in (rhythm variation) at any time while the accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. If you hold the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released, then the normal rhythm will begin from the beginning of the next measure. Adjusting the Accompaniment Volume Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME and buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the right-hand melody voice. The fist time the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME or button is pressed the current volume will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current volume is still showing on the display, press the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME button to increase the volume, or the button to decrease the volume. The selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is released. The volume range is from 0 to 24, with 0 being the lowest volume and 24 the highest. The default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME and buttons at the same time. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a beat, the fill in will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the fill in will begin on the beginning of the next beat. Stopping the Accompaniment An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button, or it can be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button. The accompaniment volume is automatically set to 21 whenever the power switch is turned ON. If the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a measure, the ending will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the ending will begin on the beginning of the next measure. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, a fill-in will be played, followed by a return to the normal pattern. 8
