Large/Small Accompaniment; Muting Individual Tracks - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-620 Owner's Manual

Large/Small Accompaniment

The simplest form of accompaniment track control is provided by the
[ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL] button. This button alternately turns the
appropriate track (s) ON and OFF, thereby changing the number of parts in
the accompaniment. When the LARGE accompaniment is selected and ac-
companiment tracks are ON, their respective icons will appear in the appro-
priate positions in the display. When the SMALL accompaniment is se-
lected, some tracks for that style will be turned OFF and their respective
icons will disappear.

Muting Individual Tracks

The PSR-620 Auto Accompaniment system includes five Track buttons
which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real time.
The accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing
the corresponding TRACK buttons. The track icon will disappear when a
track is muted.
For example, PHRASE 1 and 2 tracks are turned ON or OFF at the same
time by pressing the PHRASE track button. The same applies to the
RHYTHM 1 and 2, and CHORD 1 and 2 tracks.

Individual accompaniment tracks can also be turned OFF (muted) or ON
by using the cursor buttons to select the icon of the target track (the icon and
track name will flash), and then using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons or
the data dial to turn the track OFF or ON, respectively. In this way,
RHYTHM 1 and RHYTHM 2 tracks can be independently turned OFF or
ON. The same applies to the CHORD 1 and 2, and PHRASE 1 and 2 tracks.
