Rhythms 4 2) To use the Fill In patterns: Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks to spice up a repeating rhythm. Like the regular rhythms, all Fill In patterns have been designed to perfectly match the bass and chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment feature. 1 Select and play a rhythm. 2 As you play the Electone along with the rhythm, occasionally press the FILL IN button.

NOTE: PLAYING PARTIAL FILL IN PATTERNS: You can also start Fill In patterns within a bar, in order to play only the final one or two beats of the Fill In pattern and create additional rhythmic interest. Since the Fill In feature is very sensitive to bar/beat boundaries, you should be very careful to "play" the FILL IN button precisely on (or just slightly before) the beat that you want the Fill In pattern to begin. About Metronome Function In addition to 10 different rhythm styles, four types of metronome sounds, simple metronome, two four, three four and four four, are assigned to the SEQ 1 - 4 buttons, respectively, as the defaults. You can use one of them by selecting a Metronome button and pressing the START button. Its tempo and volume can be adjusted as you do for the normal panel rhythms.
