USING A FILL IN FOR THE START OF
A SONG:
Fill In patterns can also be used as
introductions; simply press the FILL IN
button before starting the rhythm with
the START or SYNCHRO START
buttons.
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.
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.
