[MAIN A/B] — before pressing the [START/STOP] button. (The display

brieﬂy shows the letter of the selected section: “MAIN A” or “MAIN B.”)

■ Using Tap Tempo to Start

This useful feature lets you tap out the speed (tempo) of the auto accompani-

ment and automatically start the accompaniment at that tapped speed.

Simply tap the [TEMPO/TAP] button four times (or three times for a 3/4

time style), and the accompaniment starts automatically at the tempo you

tapped. You can also change the tempo while the accompaniment is playing

by tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button twice at the desired tempo.

■ Using Sync Start

The PSR-280 also has a Sync Start function that allows you to start the

rhythm/accompaniment by simply pressing a key on the keyboard. To use

Sync Start, ﬁrst press the [SYNC START] button (the beat marks all ﬂash to

indicate Sync Start stand-by), then press any key on the keyboard. (When

auto accompaniment is on, play a key or chord in the auto accompaniment

section of the keyboard.)
