Custom Accompaniment - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-4000 Owner's Manual

Custom Accompaniment

The CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT RECORD mode allows you to
create original accompaniment styles that can be later recalled and
played at any time, just like the presets. Up to 12 custom accompani-
ment styles can be maintained in internal memory at the same time,
and any number can be saved to disk for later reloading and use. 5
sections can be created for each custom style: MAIN A, MAIN B,
INTRO, FILL IN, and ENDING.
The basic custom style recording procedure is outlined below.
