The Synchro Stop Function
When the Synchro Stop function is engaged, accompaniment playback will stop
completely when all keys in the auto-accompaniment section of the keyboard are
released. Accompaniment playback will start again as soon as a chord is played.
The BEAT indicators in the display will flash while the accompaneiment is
stopped.
The Synchro Stop function is engaged by pressing the [SYNC STOP] button
so that the SYNC STOP icon in the display appears. Press the [SYNC STOP]
button again so that the icon disappears to turn the Synchro Stop function off.
The Synchro Stop
function can not be
turned on when the
FULL KEYBOARD
AUTO ACCOMPANI-
MENT fingering mode
is selected. The Syn-
chro Stop function will
be automatically
turned off if the FULL
KEYBOARD fingering
mode is selected while
the Synchro Stop func-
tion is on.
Accompaniment Track Muting
The PSR-730/630 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2,
BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can
control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompa-
niment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain
data for any section of that style will light.
What’s in the Tracks
RHYTHM 1 & 2 These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM
tracks produce the drum and percussion sounds.
BASS The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the
voice will change to fit the selected style … acoustic
bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
CHORD 1 & 2 These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accom-
paniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar,
piano, and other chordal instruments here.
PAD This track plays long chords where necessary, using
sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the musical embellishments reside.
The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass
stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that
make the accompaniment more interesting.
Individual track voic-
es, volume, and
other parameters
can be changed by
using the REVOICE
function — page
112.
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the
TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear
when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations,
you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.
