Selecting and Playing StylesUsing Auto Accompaniment — Multi FingeringThe auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompanimentfor you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You canchange the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the ACMP section ofthe keyboard using either the “Single Finger” or “Fingered” method. With SingleFinger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see SingleFinger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playingall the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PSR-260“understands” what chord you indicate and then automatically generates theaccompaniment.■ Single Finger Chords • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventhand minor seventh. The illustration below shows how to produce the four chordtypes. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules.For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)C Cm C 7 Cm 7To play a major chord:Press the root note ofthe chord.To play a minor chord:Press the root notetogether with the nearestblack key to the left of it.To play a seventh chord:Press the root notetogether with the nearestwhite key to the left of it.To play a minor seventhchord: Press the root notetogether with the nearestwhite and black keys tothe left of it (three keysaltogether).■ Fingered Chords • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords thatcan be recognized in the Fingered mode.Fingered Chords in the Key of CCCmCaug(7aug)Csus 4 C 7CmM 7 C7b5Cm7b5( )Cm 6Cm 7C (9)( )( )( )Cdim (dim7)CM7( )C sus 4 7( )If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is playedas G-C-E), the PSR-260 will still recognize itas a C chord. The chord recognition systemalso has the following rules and exceptions:• Minor 6th chords are recognized only inroot position, however; all other inversionsare interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th.• If augmented and diminished 7th chordsare inverted, the lowest note will be recognizedas the root.• 7th flatted 5th chords may be played withthe lowest note as the root or the flatted7th.• Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chordsare interpreted as simple augmented anddiminished.* Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will berecognized without them.• The following chords are not recognized :B minor 6, Bb minor 6, and B augmented.48
