Step 2 Auto Accompaniment

Using the auto accompaniment

The PSR-270 has powerful and easy-to-use auto accompaniment features. All you have to do is play chords with your left hand — and the PortaTone automatically produces appropriate bass, chord, and rhythm backing for your perfor- mance. Use your right hand to play melodies, and you’ll sound like an entire band!
