PSR-2000/1000

The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of
fingerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 139), and select the Chord Fingerings. The
page shows how to play chords with your left hand.
SINGLE FINGER
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 auto accompaniment section
of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used.
MULTI FINGER
The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings,
so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. If you
want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER
operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the
root of the chord.
FINGERED
This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various
chord types listed on the next page.
FINGERED ON BASS
This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED mode, but the lowest note
played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note,
allowing you to play “on bass” chords. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C
major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C).
FULL KEYBOARD
This method detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar
to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example,
playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord
with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
AI FINGERED
This mode is basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD
When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the PSR-2000/1000 will automatically create appropriate
accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to
worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many
songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.
This mode is similarto FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the
chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9
th
and 11
th
chords cannot be played.
Chord Fingerings
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.
Chord detection in the AI
Full Keyboard mode occurs
at approximately 8th-note
intervals. Extremely short
chords — less than an 8th
note in length — may not be
detected.
In Full Keyboard mode,
chords are detected based
on the lowest and second
lowest notes you play. If the
two lowest notes fall within a
single octave, those two
notes determine the chord. If
the lowest note and the sec-
ond lowest note are sepa-
rated by more than one
octave, the lowest note
becomes the bass and the
chord is determined from the
second lowest note and the
other notes played in the
same octave.
