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 recogni-
tion 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 Accompaniment chord.
NOTES
Chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are
also detected and played by the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 Auto Accompaniment
system when the accompaniment is stopped (except in the Full fingering
mode). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automati-
cally.
Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TEMPO] button. The current
tempo (quarter-note beats per minute) will appear on the LCD display
panel.

[TEMPO] button itself to set the desired tempo.

Each accompaniment style has a different "default" tempo which is au-
tomatically 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 press-
ing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 include a metronome function that you'll
use primarily with the recording functions described on page 39. If you
press the [METRONOME] button so that its indicator lights when using
Auto Accompaniment, the metronome will sound at the currently set tempo
when the synchro-start mode is engaged, and while the accompaniment is
playing.
• A single note played more than one octave below the lowest
note in a chord will be interpreted as a bass note, and notes
played more than an 11th above the lowest chord note will be
interpreted as melody.
