Auto Accompaniment

Pressing the [SYNC START] button alone causes a straight start to occur when the first note or chord is played. Press the [SYNC START] button and then the appropriate [INTRO] and [MAIN/AUTO FILL] buttons for a synchronized introduction start. The BEAT indicator will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized start mode has been selected. The synchro start mode can be disengaged prior to actually starting the accompaniment by pressing the [SYNC START] button a second time.

6 Play On the Auto-accompaniment Section Of the Keyboard

As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-530 can “recognize” on the left- hand section of the keyboard, the PSR-530 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The name of the current chord will appear on the display. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the keys (unless the Synchro Stop function is engaged

7 Select the MAIN A and B Sections as Required

The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during playback by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-530 will generate an appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and BB) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section. For example, if you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button while the MAIN A section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will continue playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin immediately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure unless the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button is pressed during

•The MAIN A section is auto- matically selected when- ever the PSR-530 power is initially turned on.

•The indicator of the destina- tion section (MAIN A or B) will flash while the corre- sponding fill-in is playing. During this time you can change the destination sec- tion by pressing the appro- priate MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button.
