Using the Accompaniment Section
● FINGERED 1
The FINGERED 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard,
while the PSR-8000 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected
style.
The FINGERED 1 mode will accept the following chord types:
• Notes in parentheses can
be omitted.
• If you play any three
adjacent keys (including
black keys), the chord
sound will be canceled
and only the rhythm in-
struments will continue
playing (CHORD CAN-
CEL function).
• Playing a single key or
two same root keys in the
adjacent octaves pro-
duces accompaniment
based only on the root.
• A perfect fifth (1 + 5)
produces accompaniment
based only on the root
and fifth which can be
used with both major and
minor chords.
• The chord fingerings
listed are all in “root”
position, but other inver-
sions can be used — with
the following exceptions:
m7, m7
b
5, 6, m6, sus4,
aug, dim7, 7
b
5, 6(9),
m7_11, 1+2+5.
• Inversion of the 7sus4
chord is not recognized if
the 5th is omitted.
• The AUTO ACCOMPANI-
MENT will sometimes not
change when related
chords are played in
sequence (e.g. some
minor chords followed by
the minor seventh).
• Two-note fingerings will
produce a chord based
on the previously played
chord.
