Using Auto Accompaniment
The PSR-620 has 100 different accompaniment styles that can be used
to provide fully-orchestrated accompaniment. The PSR-620s sophisti-
cated Auto Accompaniment system can provide automated bass and
chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment
style.
The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-620 keyboard is
reduced when the Accompaniment is used.

About the PSR-620 Styles and the Yamaha Style File Format
The Style File Format is Yamahas original auto-accompaniment format which has
evolved through years of development and refinement. Style File Format allows you
to use exceptionally high quality accompaniments with a variety of chord types
through its unique conversion system. Style File Format styles, based on GM sys-
tem level 1, can be played with the GM compatible tone generator. In addition to the
internal styles, the optional style disks and music cartridges let you use different
shophisticated styles created with the Style File Format.
The internal PSR-620 styles conform to the Style File Format. The built-in floppy
disk drive also provides full Style File Format compatibility by allowing playback of
Style File Format Disk Styles.
