This is essentially the same as the Chord 1 mode, above, except
that the lowest note played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the
keyboard will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root.
SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully
orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-
seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto
Accompaniment section of the keyboard. The accompaniment pro-
duced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment
style.
If you press a "C" key in the left-hand section of the keyboard, for
example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key
in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key
you press will always determine the "root" of the chord played (i.e.
"C" for a C chord).
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key
to its left.
This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this
mode the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 automatically discriminates between
Single and Chord 1 mode fingerings and generates the appropriate
accompaniment.
