Yamaha DRX-730BL, PSR-630

◆The Synchro Stop Function

When the Synchro Stop function is engaged, accompaniment playback will stop

completely when all keys in the auto-accompaniment section of the keyboard are

released. Accompaniment playback will start again as soon as a chord is played.

The BEAT indicators in the display will flash while the accompaneiment is

stopped.

The Synchro Stop function is engaged by pressing the [SYNC STOP] button

so that the SYNC STOP icon in the display appears. Press the [SYNC STOP]

button again so that the icon disappears to turn the Synchro Stop function off.

• The Synchro Stop

function can not be

turned on when the

FULL KEYBOARD

AUTO ACCOMPANI-

MENT fingering mode

is selected. The Syn-

chro Stop function will

be automatically

turned off if the FULL

KEYBOARD fingering

mode is selected while

the Synchro Stop func-

tion is on.

◆Accompaniment Track Muting

The PSR-730/630 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2,

BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can

control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompa-

niment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain

data for any section of that style will light.

● What’s in the Tracks

RHYTHM 1 & 2 These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM

tracks produce the drum and percussion sounds.

BASS The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the

voice will change to fit the selected style … acoustic

bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.

CHORD 1 & 2 These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accom-

paniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar,

piano, and other chordal instruments here.

PAD This track plays long chords where necessary, using

sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.

PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the musical embellishments reside.

The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass

stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that

make the accompaniment more interesting.

• Individual track voic-

es, volume, and

other parameters

can be changed by

using the REVOICE

function — page

112.

Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the

TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear

when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations,

you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.
