Playing Styles
The PSR-A1000 has a huge variety of musical “styles” that you can call upon to back up your own
performance. They give you anything from a simple, yet effective piano backing or percussion
accompaniment to a full band or orchestra.
Playing a style
1 Select a style group and a style.
2 Turn ACMP on.
The specified left-hand section of the keyboard becomes the “Auto Accompaniment” area, and chords played
in this area are automatically detected and used as a basis for fully automatic accompaniment with the
selected style.
