Using Auto Accompaniment
■
The Stop Accompaniment Function
While the SINGLE or FINGERED mode is selected chords played in the
Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played
by the PSR-520 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is
stopped (except when the FULL FINGERED mode is engaged). In this case
the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.

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 [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-520 will generate an
appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types) 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 [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 immedi-
ately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the
next measure unless the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed during the last
beat of the measure, in which case the fill-in will begin from the first beat of
the next measure.

Stop the Accompaniment
..........................................................................................................
The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/
STOP] button. Press the [ENDING] button if you want to go to the ending
section and then stop. The ending section will begin from the top of the next
measure.
• Some INTRO and ENDING
sections have their own chord
progressions which play in the
current accompaniment key.
• If the MAIN [A] or [B] button is
pressed while the ENDING sec-
tion is playing, an appropriate fill-
in will be played, followed by a
return to the MAIN A or B sec-
tion.
• The accompaniment volume can
be adjusted independently of the
main keyboard volume via the
“AcompVol” function in the
OVERALL function group — see
page 69.
