and up to 12 custom accompaniment styles that can be used to pro-
vide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR-
4000’s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can
provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched
to the selected accompaniment style.

that when the number of notes played on the keyboard
exceeds the total number that can be produced by the
PSR-4000 at that time, the last notes played take priority.
