Pattern Functions Basic operation of the Pattern (auto-accompaniment) feature is described on page 22. Here are some other ways you can play the patterns, pattern volume adjustment procedure, how you can play chords using the patterns, and more. Pattern Variations (Sections) To provide some variation for pattern playback, each pattern includes a number of "sections" that can be selected and played as required. Fill-in Main Section ● Main sections A-D These are the main accompaniment patterns that repeat indefinitely until another section is selected. When the [FINGER] button is engaged the pattern will play back with chords determined by what you play with the left hand. ● Fill Ins (AUTO FILL IN) Press the [AUTO FILL IN] button to turn the automatic fill-in function on. When this function is on fill-ins will automatically be added to the pattern rhythm part when the main sections are switched. Even when the automatic fill in function is off you can add a fill-in at any time by simply pressing a main section button while that same section is playing. 1 Select the desired pattern.
