Using INTRO
The Concertmate-580’s INTRO fea- ture lets you start the selected auto- rhythm with a light, 1-measure intro- duction that blends easily into the se- lected rhythm.
To start a rhythm with an introduction, select and enter the rhythm, then press INTRO/FILL IN. The BEAT LAMPS indi- cators begin to flash, the introduction plays, then the selected auto-rhythm automatically starts. You can begin play at any time.
Using FILL IN
The FILL IN feature lets you insert a short (1- to 2-measure) variation in the beat pattern of a selected auto-rhythm.
To insert a short variation in a beat pat- tern, press and release INTRO/FILL IN while the auto-rhythm is playing. The Concertmate-580 inserts a 1- to 2- measure variation (depending on which auto-rhythm is selected), then the original rhythm automatically re- sumes at the end of the current mea- sure.
Note: To insert the variation for longer than 1 to 2 measures, press and hold INTRO/FILL IN. The Concertmate-580 plays the variation until you release the button.
