Press the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT control section [ACCOMP VOL-
UME] button. The current accompaniment volume value will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY.
Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the
[ACCOMP VOLUME] button itself to set the desired volume. The volume
range is from 00 (no sound) to 24 (maximum volume). The default volume
value (21) can be recalled instantly by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons
at the same time.
The PSR-510 Auto Accompaniment system includes eight
TRACK buttons which allow you to control the accompaniment ar-
rangement in real time. You can turn tracks on or off while playing
for extra accompaniment variety.
The various tracks are turned on or off by pressing the corre-
sponding TRACK button. When a part is turned off the corresponding
indicator will go out. To silence the bass part, for example, press the
TRACK [BASS] button so that its indicator goes out. Press the button
again to turn that part back on.
This is the main rhythm track, and usually plays a drum kit.
Additional rhythm. Turning the RHYTHM 2 track ON will usually increase
the "energy" of the rhythm. In many styles this track plays percussion in-
struments such as congas, bongos, etc. This means you can turn off the
RHYTHM 1 track and use only RHYTHM 2 for a "light" rhythm sound.
