PLAYING FILL IN PATTERNS—You can use
Pedal Switch 3 (Fill) to play the fill in pattern
at any point in a measure. In other words, if
you press the Pedal Switch on the third beat
of a measure, the fill in pattern will playback
from the third beat to the end of the
measure and then will return to the normal
pattern. Also, holding down the Fill Pedal
Switch through successive measures
continues playing the fill in pattern.
Note: If you press the Fill Pedal Switch on the last
16th note of a measure, the fill in pattern will
play in its entirety from the next measure.
HINT
PLAYING AN ENDING PATTERN—Rather than
simply stopping the pattern with [START/STOP],
you can use Pedal Switch 4 (End) to play a simple
ending pattern. Press it during the measure
previous to the intended ending.
