d. Fingered Mode
This Mode allows you to have Auto Accompaniment by
playing Chords in the usual manner. It is well suited for the
individual who is accustomed to playing Chords, and also
for those songs containing Chords which are not possible to
play using the SINGLE FINGER mode. The FINGERED
mode consists of the same Auto Accompaniment sounds
as SINGLE FINGER mode.
Step 1: Select a Rhythm Style.
Step 2: Press the FINGERED button.
When you press the FINGERED button, the corresponding
LED will light up, and FINGERED mode has been
assigned. At this time, the PSS-590 will automatically be in
the SYNCHRO START Stand By status.

button.

the song will finish after playing an ENDING.

* Specified Chords (marked with a star) are detected when you play
its inversions. A Diminished or Augmented Chord will be detected
with the lowest note you play taken as its Root.
*
Minor 7th Flatted 5th Chords and Minor 6th Chords are similar in the
intervals of Chord tones (ex. Bm7-5 and Dm6 includes the same
notes.). So only when the lowest note played can be taken as the
Root of a Minor 6th Chord, it will be detected as a Minor 6th Chord.
Otherwise, it will be detected as a Minor 7th Flatted 5th Chord.

>> Why don't you try using many different
techniques such as LARGE/SMALL, BRIDGE/NORMAL, to
vary the arrangments of your songs.
>> When you insert a Fill-in, by using the FILL TO
NORMAL, and FILL TO BRIDGE buttons, the arranging of
the accompaniment will automatically change to fit the Fill-
in. So keep in mind how those changes occur, and use
them to add flavor to your performances.
»» To use the Harmony Effect without Auto
Accompaniment, simply press the SYNCRO START/
ENDING button to cancel it. You still have the Harmonized
tones in accord with the Chord Progression.
