Select the MAIN A and MAIN B sections as required. Appropriate fill-ins will be generated automatically (see “The

MAIN A and MAIN B Sections and Fill-ins”, page 34).

<Stop the Accompaniment ..................................................................................................................................................

The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] b utton. Press the [ENDING A/

B /rit.] button if you want to go to the ending section and then stop. A different ending will play depending on whether

you go to the ending from the MAIN A or MAIN B section. Press the [ENDING A/B /rit.] button while the ending

section is playing to produce a “ritardando” ending — i.e. the tempo gradually slows down during the ending.

■Auto Accompaniment Fingering Modes............................................................................................................

The PSR-8000 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT feature has six

different fingering modes which can be selected via the SPLIT

POINT/FINGERING FUNCTION display described on page

123. Operation of each mode is described below.

● SINGLE FINGER

Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beau-

tifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, mi-

nor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number

of keys on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the

keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below

are used:

• To use SINGLE FINGER minor, minor-seventh, or

seventh fingerings in the MULTI FINGER mode, be

sure to play the closest white/black key(s) to the root

of the chord.

● MULTI FINGER

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.
