Auto Accompaniment
36
You can select the Main A or B section by pressing the appropriate button —
[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.)
