Accompaniment Control
The PSR-410 provides a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, variations on the main
pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to achieve the desired musical
results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL buttons.
● Straight Start ...........................................................................................................................................
The [START/STOP] button starts the selected accompaniment style
immediately.
Press the [AUTO ACCOMP] button so that its indicator lights before
starting the accompaniment. The accompaniment will start with the rhythm
sound only when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, then the bass and
chord parts will begin playing as soon as the first note or chord is played on
the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.
NOTES
• A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the
accompaniment is playing. The style number on the MULTI DISPLAY
will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will
begin playback from the top of the next measure. The only exception
is if you change styles while an intro is playing (see page 26), in which
case the new style begin playing after the intro has finished. The
tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.
The Beat Indicator
The three BEAT indicator dots along the top of the MULTI DISPLAY
flash to indicate the tempo and beat as the accompaniment plays. All three
dots flash together on the first beat of each measure, then the dots flash in-
dividually in sequence on the remaining beats. In 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 time, for
example, the beat indicator dots will flash as shown to the left.
NOTES
• Each accompaniment style has a preset “normal” tempo which is au-
tomatically selected whenever the style is selected while the accom-
paniment is stopped. The current tempo is maintained if you select a
different style during accompaniment playback (excepting the play-
back by One Touch settings). You can change the tempo as required
by using the TEMPO function described on page 24.
Press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button if you want the accompani-
ment to start when you play the first note or chord on the keyboard. In this
case the accompaniment is started by playing in the left-hand section of the
keyboard.
NOTES
• If the AUTO ACCOMP mode is OFF, playing anywhere on the key-
board causes the rhythm-only accompaniment to start.
If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button, the BEAT indicator dots
will flash at the current tempo. The synchro start mode can be disengaged
by pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button again so that its indicator
goes out.
