"А different accompaniment style can be selected at any time
while the accompaniment is playing. The style number display
will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style
will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The tempo
will not change when the new style begins playing.
The NORMAL and BRIDGE Variations
Each style has two main variations — NORMAL and
BRIDGE. If the [NORMAL] or [BRIDGE] button is
pressed while the rhythm is playing, the corresponding
variation will begin from the top of the next measure. You
can also select [NORMAL] or [BRIDGE] before starting
the accompaniment.

Starting the Accompaniment with an
Introduction
Any of the PSR-500M accompaniment patterns can be
started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the
[INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button.
o
INTRO
START/STOP
Once the [INTRO] button is pressed, the [INTRO] indi-
cator will be lit continuously and the [NORMAL] or
[BRIDGE] indicator will flash to indicate which variation
will play when the introduction has finished. You can
change the "destination" variation by pressing the [NOR-
# MAL] or [BRIDGE] button while its indicator is flashing.
When the introduction ends, the [INTRO] indicator will
go out and the [NORMAL] or [BRIDGE] indicator will
light continuously.
* Itis possible to start the accompaniment from any variation —
even the ending — by pressing the corresponding button prior to
pressing the [START/STOP] button. The destination [NORMAL]
or [BRIDGE] variation can be selected in the normal way.
* If the [INTRO], [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2), or [ENDING] pattern is
selected prior to pressing the [START/STOP] button and then
the same button is pressed again or the currently flashing [NOR-
MAL] or [BRIDGE] button is pressed, its indicator will go out and
the destination [NORMAL] or [BRIDGE] pattern indicator will light
continuously. Once started the accompaniment will then begin
directly from the NORMAL or BRIDGE pattern.
* The [INTRO] button can be used to select the introduction
pattern even while the accompaniment is playing.

Adding Fill-ins
The PSR-500M provides two types of fill-ins (rhythmic
variations) — one which leads to the NORMAL variation
and one which leads to the BRIDGE variation. Press the
{FILL IN 1] button at any time while the accompaniment
is playing to add a short fill-in and go to (or return to) the
NORMAL variation, or press the [FILL IN 2] button to
add a short fill-in and go to (or return to) the BRIDGE
variation.
The [NORMAL ] indicator will flash while FILL IN 1
plays, and the [BRIDGE] indicator will flash while FILL
IN 2 plays. You can change the variation that will begin
playing after the fill-in by pressing the desired variation
button while the indicator is still flashing.

BRIDGE,
If you hold the [FILL IN 1) or [FILL IN 2] button, the
fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released, then
the NORMAL or BRIDGE variation will begin from the
beginning of the next measure.
* If the [FILL IN 1] or [FILL IN 2] button is pressed during the last
1/4-note of a measure, the fill in will begin from the first beat of
the next measure. If pressed at any other time the fill-in will
begin immediately.
* It is also possible to start the accompaniment with a fill-in by
pressing the desired FILL IN button prior to pressing the
[START/STOP] button. The destination [NORMAL] or [BRIDGE]
variation can be selected in the normal way.
Stopping the Accompaniment
An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immedi-
ately by pressing the [START/STOP] button or the
[SYNC-START ON/OFF — RHYTHM STOP] button. In
the latter case the synchro start mode will be engaged
when the accompaniment stops. The accompaniment can
also be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the
[ENDING] button.
