This is essentially the same as the Chord 1 mode, above, except that the
lowest note played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard will
be played by the bass part rather than the chord root.

SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully orches-
trated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh
chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto Accompaniment
section of the keyboard. The accompaniment produced is perfectly matched
to the currently selected accompaniment style.
Major Chords:
If you press a "C" key in the left-hand section of the keyboard, for ex-
ample, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the
left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press
will always determine the "root" of the chord played (i.e. "C" for a C
chord).
Minor Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Minor-seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its
left.
NOTES
Mode 4: Multi
This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this mode the
PSR-510 automatically discriminates between Single and Chord 1 mode
fingerings and generates the appropriate accompaniment.
NOTES
• The Auto Accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift your
fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need to press
the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing chords.
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are black
keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the high-
est note will be interpreted as the root of a minor (m) chord.
• If more than three keys are played and, excluding the highest key, are
a mixture of black and white keys, and the chord is not recognized by
the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a
minor-seventh (m7) chord.
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are white
keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the high-
est note will be interpreted as the root of a seventh (7) chord.
