Page 31: Using Auto Accompaniment
Accompaniment is used. About the PSR-520 Styles The styles are created with the “Style File Format”, Yamaha’s original auto-accom- paniment 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. - Page 32 SINGLE FINGER ACCOMPANIMENT 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 left-hand section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described be- low are used: For a major chord, press the root key only.
- Page 33 Using Auto Accompaniment NORMAL This is the default FINGERED accompaniment mode. The NORMAL mode lets you finger your own chords on the left-hand section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally 54) while the PSR-520 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style.
- Page 34 BASS This is essentially the same as the NORMAL mode, above, except that the lowest note played in the auto accompaniment section of the key- board will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root. FULL In this mode the PSR-520 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where they are played on the keyboard.
-
Page 35: Select A Style
Using Auto Accompaniment Select a Style The PSR-520 has 100 styles that can be selected by using either the [–/ NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial (these con- trols function in the same way as for voice selection — see page 12). The styles are listed in the STYLE list printed at the top of the instrument’s con- trol panel. - Page 36 Start the Accompaniment There are several ways to start the accompaniment: Straight start: Press the [START/STOP] button. The rhythm will begin playing imme- diately without bass and chord accompaniment. The currently selected MAIN [A] or [B] section will play. SYNC- START/STOP START/STOP Start with an introduction followed by the MAIN A section:...
- Page 37 Using Auto Accompaniment Pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button alone causes a straight start to occur when the first note or chord is played. Press the [SYNC- START/STOP] button and then the appropriate [INTRO] and [MAIN] buttons for a synchronized introduction start. The BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized start mode has been se- lected.

Page 39: Accompaniment Track Control
Using Auto Accompaniment Accompaniment Track Control The PSR-520 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, CHORD 1/2, PAD, and PHRASE 1/2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When the power switch is turned ON or an accompaniment style is selected, RHYTHM 1, CHORD 1 and PHRASE 1 tracks appear on the display. -
Page 40: Large/Small Accompaniment
Large/Small Accompaniment The simplest form of accompaniment track control is provided by the [ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL] button. This button alternately turns the appropriate track (s) ON and OFF, thereby changing the number of parts in the accompaniment. When the LARGE accompaniment is selected and ac- companiment tracks are ON, their respective icons will appear in the appro- priate positions in the display. -

Page 72: Midi Functions
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatil- ity and control than is available with isolated instruments. -

Page 75: Local Control
Overall Functions Local Control “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-520 keyboard controls the internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still trans- mitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the key-... -
