■ The MAIN A and MAIN B Sections and Fill-ins ...........................................................................................
The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any
time during accompaniment playback by pressing the corre-
sponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL
[A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-8000 will generate
an appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and
BB) which will smoothly connect the current section to the
selected section — even if it is the same section. For example,
if you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button while the
MAIN A section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the
MAIN A section will continue playing. When you select a
different section, the fill-in will begin immediately and the new
section will actually begin playing from the top of the next
measure unless the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button is
pressed during the last half-beat of the measure, in which case
the fill-in will begin from the first beat of the next measure.
To start with INTRO B and go to MAIN B, press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [B] button so
that its indicator lights (if it is not already lit), then press the [INTRO A/B] button, then use
a straight or synchronized start.
To start with INTRO A and go to MAIN B, press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button
so that its indicator lights (if it is not already lit), then press the [INTRO A/B] button, then
press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [B] button. Use a straight or synchronized start.
To start with INTRO B and go to MAIN A, press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [B] button so
that its indicator lights (if it is not already lit), then press the [INTRO A/B] button, then
press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button. Use a straight or synchronized start.
• The introduction can be cancelled before the accompaniment is actually started by pressing the [INTRO
A/B] button a second time so that its indicator goes out.
