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 proce-

dure, how you can play chords using the patterns, and more.

To provide some variation for pattern playback, each pattern includes a number of “sections” that can be
selected and played as required.
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.
