Select the MAIN A and MAIN B sections as required. Appropriate fill-ins will be generated automatically (see “The

The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button. Press the [ENDING A/
B /rit.] button if you want to go to the ending section and then stop. A different ending will play depending on whether
you go to the ending from the MAIN A or MAIN B section. Press the [ENDING A/B /rit.] button while the ending
section is playing to produce a “ritardando” ending — i.e. the tempo gradually slows down during the ending.
■ Auto Accompaniment Fingering Modes ............................................................................................................
The PSR-8000 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT feature has six
different fingering modes which can be selected via the SPLIT
POINT/FINGERING FUNCTION display described on page
123. Operation of each mode is described below.
● SINGLE FINGER
Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beau-
tifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, mi-
nor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number
of keys on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the
keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below
are used:
• To use SINGLE FINGER minor, minor-seventh, or
seventh fingerings in the MULTI FINGER mode, be
sure to play the closest white/black key(s) to the root
of the chord.
● MULTI FINGER
The MULTI-FINGER mode automatically detects SINGLE
FINGER or FINGERED 1 chord fingerings, so you can use
either type of fingering without having to switch fingering
modes.
