Yamaha PSR-4000 Owner's Manual - Page 28

Using the Accompaniment Section N Play On the ABC Section Of the Keyboard ... As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-4000 can "recognize" on the ABC section of the keyboard in one of the FINGERED modes or the AUTO MIDI BASS (see fingering chart on page 134), an abbreviated chord in the SINGLE FINGER mode, or just about anything anywhere on the keyboard in the FULL KEYBOARD mode, the PSR-4000 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the left-hand keys. If the MANUAL MIDI BASS mode is selected only the rhythm accompaniment will play automatically, and selected bass voice can be played via a MIDI bass keyboard. Split Point ABC Section w C3 Melody Section NOTES • The appropriate chord and bass note will sound if you play in the ABC section of the keyboard while the ABC function is on but the accompaniment is stopped (but not in the FULL KEYBOARD and MANUAL MIDI BASS modes). Please note that the Left Hold function (page 35) cannot be applied to these chord and bass notes. M Select Sections as Required ... Each accompaniment style has two sections: MAIN A and MAIN B. There is also an ENDING section which is described in step >. The INTRO A and B sections can be used to start the accompaniment as described in the preceding step. The MAIN A and B sections can be selected manually by pressing the corresponding section button. FADE IN / OUT INTRO/ FILL to MAIN ENDING/ rit.
