BASIC buttons are off. It is used when AUTO PLAY CHORD is
not required.
¢ Normally, the selected tone is effective for the entire
keyboard.
e As explained later, when the split function is used, the
keyboard is divided into left and right sections for which
separate tones can be selected.
@ AUTO PLAY CHORD mode
in this mode, playing any chord on the left part of the
keyboard will automatically give you the BASS and ACCOMP
as well.
There are two levels of AUTO PLAY CHORD, ADVANCED and

those for PIPE ORGAN, TENOR SAX and BRASS are lowered
by one octave.
@ The voices for PIPE ORGAN, TENOR SAX and BRASS played
by the keys in the lowest part of the keyboard are raised by
one octave. With the FLUTE tone of the PR200/PR300, the
rightmost key sounds one octave lower.
When OCT SHIFT or TRANSPOSE is used, the range of the
keyboard over which the octave is raised or lowered
changes, affecting even other tones at the outer ranges of
the keyboard.
@ The number of notes which can be produced simulta-
neously is shown below. (When the keyboard is split, the
total number of notes which can be produced is the sum of
the left and right parts of the keyboard.)

The sounds generated by the digital piano are those of real
instruments. However, the range of notes that can be
produced is wider than that of the actual instruments.
Especially in the bass range, the tones start up slowly.
Therefore, for fast-tempo pieces use the treble range for
the most effective performance.

@ Program Chord Computer
PROGRAM CHORD COMPUTER is a function which can be
used to preset chord progressions, rhythm sequences, fill in
& intros and ending for automatic playing whenever
required. This enables you to fully focus your concentration
on playing the melody with both hands while the computer
* adds all accompaniments and rhythms.
In addition to the PCC and RECORD buttons, nine keys on the
. right part of the keyboard may also be used.
NOTE: A total of 170 chord entries may be made before the
built-in. computer memory is full. A quarter-measure
( FR+-H ) or D.S. key is counted as two chords. When the
computer memory is full, short beeps will sound.
The PCC button prepares the computer for the storage of the
chords of your choice (after RECORD is pressed).
The nine keys are used for the actual process of storing
chords in the computer. Here is what they do:
K—1_ stores a chord for an entire measure (one chord per
measure).
fe+H stores a chord for a half-measure (two chords per
measure).
FH-+H4 (pressing two keys at a time) stores a chord for a
quarter-measure (four chords per measure).
Amend keys ( > ~@@ ) are used to correct individual chords
in a sequence, or to change chords already in the memory
bank.

After making sure the PCC indicator is on, start the rhythm of
your choice. The stored chords are automatically repeated in
sequence for the correct number of measures.
When you are playing a programmed chord sequence and
you wish to replay a certain part of the program—-maybDe you
missed a melody note—press the START/STOP button. This
stops the rhythm and the chords; at the same time, the
program returns to the beginning of the chord sequence,
allowing you to restart and play again.
Modifying or correcting programmed chords
Suppose you wanted to change the F chord in the example to
a Dm—here are a couple of ways you could do it.
Using the automatic rhythm
1. Press the RECORD and PCC buttons.
2. Press START/STOP to begin the chord sequence with the
rhythm.
3. Stop the rhythm when the sequence reaches the F chord.
4. Play and hold the D key and a black key to the left of it, and
press the f—— key. The new chord is now in the
position of the original chord.
5. Press PCC again.

Using the forward ( > ) or back ( <« ) Keys
1. Press the RECORD and PCC buttons.
2. Press the B key once for each chord from the start of the
program. In this case, the F is the second chord in the
sequence; watch the example and press B> twice.
3. Stop when you hear the chord you want to change.
Steps 4 and 5 as above.
The ~@l keyis used the same way when you want to move one
’ chord at a time from the end of the program to the beginning.
Other facts you should know about changing chords...
e The B and ~@ keys operate only when the rhythm is
stopped and the RECORD and PCC buttons are pressed.
© Each press of the > key advances the sequence one unit
and each press of the ~@ key moves the sequence back
one unit, whether the unit is a whole measure, a half-
measure, or a quarter-measure.
@ Should you enter the wrong chord, press the ~#f key once
and enter the correct chord.
Using the -§ 6, p.s. Keys
After pressing the symbol keys according to the music sheet,
the chord of the measure is stored. Let’s try to store the

Storing the rhythm
Not only chord progressions, but also rhythm changes, FILL
IN & INTRO, ENDING and BASS & ACCOMP patterns can be
stored in the PROGRAM CHORD COMPUTER.
@ Storing rhythm and BASS & ACCOMP pattern changes
Before storing a chord, press the RHYTHM and/or BASS &
ACCOMP buttons. A beep will sound and the rhythm and
patterns will be stored at the beginning of subsequent
measures. These stored rhythms and patterns will be
repeated until different rhythm and BASS & ACCOMP patterns
are selected.
— For FILL IN & INTRO storage:
Pressing the FILLIN & INTRO button at the beginning of asong
stores intro. Pressing the button after storage of a chord
stores the fill-in for one measure starting at the beginning of
the chord.
@ For ENDING storage:
If the ENDING button is pressed at the end of a song, the last
chord will be stored as an ending pattern. (The RECORD
button will be turned off.)
e Up to 25 selections of rhythm and BASS & ACCOMP
patterns can be stored. (Storing rhythm and BASS &
ACCOMP patterns in sequence is counted as one
selection.)
e If the chords are not specified and only the rhythm
changes are input, the PROGRAM CHORD COMPUTER
works as a rhythm sequencer.
@ Even when the chords are specified, with the AUTO PLAY
CHORD off, the ACCOMP and BASS do not sound; only the
programmed rhythm changes are produced.
Let’s store the following:
