Step 2 Auto Accompaniment; Using The Auto Accompaniment - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-225 Owner's Manual

Step 2

Using the auto accompaniment

The PSR-225 has powerful and easy-to-use auto
accompaniment features. All you have to do is
play chords with your left hand — and the
PortaTone automatically produces appropriate
bass, chord, and rhythm backing for your perfor-
mance. Use your right hand to play melodies,
and you'll sound like an entire band!
