●FINGERED 2

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED 1

mode, but the lowest note played in the AUT O ACCOMPANI-

MENT section of the keyboard is used as the bass root, allowing

you to play “on bass” or “fraction” chords (in the FINGERED

1 mode the root of the chord is always used as the bass root).

●FULL KEYBOARD

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the

PSR-8000 will automatically create appropriate accompani-

ment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the

keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about

specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the FULL

KEYBOARD mode is designed to work with many songs, some

arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try

playing a few simple songs in the FULL KEYBOARD mode to

get a feel for its capabilities.

●MANUAL BASS

In this mode only the rhythm accompaniment will play auto-

matically, and the bass voice set for the style can be played on

the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard. No

chord detection occurs.

Example for “C” chords

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note
intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th
note in length — may therefore not be detected.
• In all fingering modes except MANUAL BASS the
name of the detected chord will appear on the display.
