Using Auto Accompaniment
8
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-620 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 79.

■ 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-620 Auto Accompaniment system when the ac-
companiment is stopped (except when the FULL FINGERED mode is engaged). In this case the bass note
and chord voices are selected automatically.
■ Styles with Different Numbers of Sections
Some cartridge and disk styles (see page 61 and 34), for example, have A and B intro and ending sec-
tions as well as A and B main sections. In such a case, if the [INTRO] and MAIN [A] buttons are pressed
in order to start the accompaniment with an introduction and then go to the main A section, the intro A
section will play. If the [INTRO] and MAIN [B] buttons are pressed, the intro B section will play. A simi-
lar situation applies to endings: if the main A or B section is playing and the [ENDING] button is pressed,
the ending A or B section will play accordingly.
