Playing Styles
38 PSR-E413 Owner’s Manual
There are two ways of playing auto-accompaniment chords:
● Easy Chords
● Standard Chords
The instrument will automatically recognize the different chord types. This function is called Multi Fingering.
Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto-accompaniment on (page 34). The keyboard to the left of
the split point (default: 54/F#2) becomes the “accompaniment range”. Play the accompaniment chords in
this area of the keyboard.
■Easy Chords ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
This method lets you easily play chords in the
accompaniment range of the keyboard using only
one, two, or three fingers.
■Standard Chords ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
This method lets you produce accompaniment by
playing chords using normal fingerings in the
accompaniment range of the keyboard.
