■Accompaniment Control

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, break,

variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to

achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANI-

MENT CONTROL buttons.

● Straight Start...........................................................................................................................................

The [START/STOP] button starts the selected accompaniment style

immediately.

Press the [AUTO ACCOMP] button so that its indicator lights before

starting the accompaniment. The accompaniment will start with the rhythm

sound only when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, then the bass and

chord parts will begin playing as soon as the first note or chord is played on

the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.

NOTES

• A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the

accompaniment is playing. The style number and name on the LCD

display panel will change as soon as the selection is made, but the

new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The

only exception is if you change styles while an intro is playing (see

page 30), in which case the new style begin playing after the intro has

finished. The tempo will not change when the new style begins play-

ing.

The Beat Indicator

The four BEAT indicator LEDs located above the AUTO ACCOMPANI-

MENT control section flash to indicate the tempo and beat as the accompa-

niment plays. The LEDs flash individually in sequence on each beat of the

measure. In 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 time, for example, the beat indicator LEDs

will flash as shown to the left.

NOTES

• Each accompaniment style has a preset “normal” tempo which is au-

tomatically selected whenever the style is selected while the accom-

paniment is stopped. The current tempo is maintained if you select a

different style during accompaniment playback (except when the One

Touch Setting function is used — page 36). You can change the

tempo as required by using the TEMPO function described on page

28.

ACCOMP

Press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button if you want the accompani-

ment to start when you play the first note or chord on the keyboard. In this

case the accompaniment is started by playing in the left-hand section of the

keyboard.

NOTES

• If the AUTO ACCOMP mode is OFF, playing anywhere on the key-

board causes the rhythm-only accompaniment to start.

If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button, the BEAT indicator

LEDs will flash at the current tempo. The synchro start mode can be disen-

gaged by pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button again so that its indi-

cator goes out.
