Roland KF-90 Modifying an Accompaniment, Changing the Accompaniment Pattern Within a Song Fill-In

Chapter 2 Using Automatic Accompaniment

Modifying an Accompaniment

You can change the arrangement of automatic accompaniment and the

accompaniment pattern.

■Changing the Accompaniment Pattern Within a Song (Fill-In)

There are two accompaniment patterns: the original one, and a variation that’s a little more flowery. In addition, a fill-in (a short phrase) is added at the points where the accompaniment patterns change, which adds more variation to the song. It can be effective to use the quieter original pattern for the first half of the song, and the variation pattern for the second half.

You can change the accompaniment pattern without inserting a fill-in. In that case, assign the function to the pedal and use it. See “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147).

1. Pressing the Fill In [To Variation] button (its indicator should light) makes the setting for playing the variation accompaniment pattern.

2. Pressing the Fill In [To Original] button (its indicator should light) makes the setting for playing the original accompaniment pattern.

Pressing these buttons during a performance inserts a one-bar fill-in in time with when the buttons were pressed, and the accompaniment pattern changes.

What’s a “Fill-In”?

A short improvisational phrase inserted at the bar line is called a “Fill-In.” The KF-90 plays the optimal phrase for the selected Music Style.

Adding a Fill-in Without Changing the Accompaniment Pattern

You can play a fill-in without changing the accompaniment pattern by pressing whichever of the Fill In [To Original] and FIll In [To Variation] buttons that is flashing while a performance is in progress.
