In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and
used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions normally,
and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recognition is the same
as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode all notes you play on
the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted as the Auto Accompani-
ment chord.
Chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are
also detected and played by the PSR-410 Auto Accompaniment system
when the accompaniment is stopped (except for Full fingering mode). In
this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.
Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TEMPO] button. The current
tempo (beats per minute) will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.
Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, or the [TEMPO] button
itself to set the desired tempo.
The available tempo range is from 040 to 240 beats per minute. Each
accompaniment style has a different "default" tempo which is automatically
set whenever a new style is selected (but not when a new style is selected
while the accompaniment is playing). The default tempo for the currently
selected accompaniment style can be recalled instantly by pressing both the
[+] and [–] buttons at the same time.
The PSR-410 includes a metronome function that you'll use primarily
with the recording functions described on page 32. If you press the [MET-
RONOME] button so that its indicator lights when using Auto Accompani-
ment, the metronome will sound at the currently set tempo when the
synchro-start mode is engaged, and while the accompaniment is playing.
