5. Select Sections, if desired.
You can switch between the two Style Sections, Main A and Main B, as the Accompaniment is
playing by pressing the appropriate button, MAIN A or MAIN B.
6. Select Fill In patterns, if desired.
Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks, to add interest
to a repeating rhythm. Like all the other patterns, the Fill In patterns have been designed to
match the bass and chord parts of the selected Style, as well as lead perfectly into the
corresponding section.
You can select these patterns as the Style is playing by pressing the appropriate button, INTRO
A/FILL TO A or INTRO B/FILL TO B. For best results, press the button just at the beginning (or
the first beat) of a measure.

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.
