Auto Accompaniment The Fingered 2 mode Fingering =F2 This is essentially the same as the Fingered 1 mode, described above, except that the Fingered 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord - simply, the lowest note played in the Auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify "on-bass" chords in which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather than C. C C on E C on G The Full Keyboard mode Fingering =Full When the Full Keyboard Mode is selected, the PSR-550 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You do not have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display. • When the Full Keyboard mode is selected, the split point setting (see below) for the auto accompaniment will be ignored. The Multi Finger mode Fingering =Multi This is the default accompaniment mode. The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. • If you want to play minor, seventh or minor seventh chords using the Single Finger operation in the Multi Finger Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord. Accompaniment Split Point The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the righthand section of the keyboard is called the "split point". The initial setting (factory setting) of the split point is "F#2"; however, this can be set to any key you wish. Refer to page 118 for instructions on how to set the split point.

Auto Accompaniment
The Fingered 2 mode
Accompaniment Split Point
The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the right-
hand section of the keyboard is called the “split point”.
The initial setting (factory setting) of the split point is “F
#
2”; however, this can be set
to any key you wish.
Refer to page 118 for instructions on how to set the split point.
This is essentially the same as the Fingered 1 mode, described above, except that the
Fingered 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord —
simply, the lowest note played in the Auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is
used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify “on-bass” chords in
which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major
chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather
than C.
When the Full Keyboard Mode is selected, the PSR-550 will automatically create
appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands,
anywhere on the keyboard. You do not have to worry about specifying the accompani-
ment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display.
•
When the Full Keyboard
mode is selected, the split
point setting (see below) for
the auto accompaniment will
be ignored.
The Multi Finger mode
This is the default accompaniment mode. The Multi Finger mode automatically detects
Single Finger or Fingered 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering
without having to switch fingering modes.
•
If you want to play minor,
seventh or minor seventh
chords using the Single
Finger operation in the Multi
Finger Mode, always press
the closest white/black key(s)
to the root of the chord.
