Using Auto Accompaniment q BASS This is essentially the same as the NORMAL mode, above, except that the lowest note played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root. C C on E C on G q FULL In this mode the PSR-520 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where they are played on the keyboard. Right-hand chords with a left-hand bass line - single or octave - are also recognized. In the former case left-hand chords are recognized and accompaniment is produced in the same way as in the NORMAL mode, in the latter case the right-hand chords are recognized in the same way but the accompaniment bass line will be based on the left-hand bass line you play. This means you can play in just about any style anywhere on the keyboard, and the PSR-520 will automatically produce appropriate accompaniment. • A single note one octave lower than the lowest note of the chord is recognized as a bass note, and a single note eleven notes higher is recognized as a melody note. • The Harmony/Echo feature (page 20) has no effect in the FULL mode. 3 Select the Style Function ...Press the [STYLE] button to directly select the STYLE function.

Using Auto Accompaniment
●
BASS
This is essentially the same as the NORMAL mode, above, except that
the lowest note played in the auto accompaniment section of the key-
board will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root.
●
FULL
In this mode the PSR-520 automatically differentiates between left-hand
chords and right-hand melody, no matter where they are played on the
keyboard. Right-hand chords with a left-hand bass line — single or oc-
tave — are also recognized. In the former case left-hand chords are rec-
ognized and accompaniment is produced in the same way as in the NOR-
MAL mode, in the latter case the right-hand chords are recognized in the
same way but the accompaniment bass line will be based on the left-hand
bass line you play. This means you can play in just about any style any-
where on the keyboard, and the PSR-520 will automatically produce
appropriate accompaniment.
•
A single note one octave lower
than the lowest note of the chord
is recognized as a bass note,
and a single note eleven notes
higher is recognized as a melody
note.
•
The Harmony/Echo feature (page
20) has no effect in the FULL
mode.
