SINGLE FINGER (SF)

Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to

produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment
using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords
by pressing a minimum number of keys on the left-
hand section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord
fingerings described below are used:

■

For a major chord, press the root key only.

■

For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root
key and a black key to its left.

■

For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root
key and a white key to its left.

■

For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press
the root key and both a white and black key to its
left.

●

FINGERED 2 (FC2)

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the

FINGERED 1 mode, but the lowest note played in
the ABC 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).

●

FINGERED 1 (FC1)

This is the default ABC mode. The FINGERED

1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the ABC
section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and
including the split-point key — normally F#2),
while the PSR-4000 supplies appropriately orches-
trated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in
the selected style.

The FINGERED 1 mode will accept the 34 chord

types.
