Using Auto Accompaniment 8 Select the MAIN A and B Sections as Required The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during playback by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-620 will generate an appropriate "fill-in" (one of four types) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section - even if it is the same section. For example, if you press the MAIN [A] button while the MAIN A section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will continue playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin immediately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure unless the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed during the last beat of the measure, in which case the fill-in will begin from the first beat of the next measure. SYNCSTART/STOP START/STOP INTRO MAIN AUTO FILL ENDING A B 9 Stop the Accompaniment ... The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/ STOP] button. Press the [ENDING] button if you want to go to the ending section and then stop. The ending section will begin from the top of the next measure. SYNCSTART/STOP START/STOP INTRO MAIN AUTO FILL ENDING A B SYNCSTART/STOP START/STOP INTRO MAIN AUTO FILL A B ENDING • Some INTRO and ENDING sections have their own chord progressions which play in the current accompaniment key. • If the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed while the ENDING section is playing, an appropriate fillin will be played, followed by a return to the MAIN A or B section. • The accompaniment volume can be adjusted independently of the main keyboard volume via the "AcompVol" function in the OVERALL function group - see page 79. s Styles with Different Numbers of Sections Some cartridge and disk styles (see page 61 and 34), for example, have A and B intro and ending sections as well as A and B main sections. In such a case, if the [INTRO] and MAIN [A] buttons are pressed in order to start the accompaniment with an introduction and then go to the main A section, the intro A section will play. If the [INTRO] and MAIN [B] buttons are pressed, the intro B section will play. A similar situation applies to endings: if the main A or B section is playing and the [ENDING] button is pressed, the ending A or B section will play accordingly. s The Stop Accompaniment Function While the SINGLE or FINGERED mode is selected chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-620 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except when the FULL FINGERED mode is engaged). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically. 37
