ACCOMPANIMENT SECTIONS (MAIN A, MAIN B
AND FILL-INS)
While the accompaniment is playing, you can add variation in the rhythm/
accompaniment by pressing the MAIN/AUTO FILL A or B button. This
automatically plays one of four Fill-in sections, and smoothly leads into the
next section — even if it is the same section.
Each style has four different Fill-in sections that play in the following condi-
tions:
• Main A Main A (Fill-in “AA”)
• Main A Main B (Fill-in “AB”)
• Main B Main A (Fill-in “BA”)
• Main B Main B (Fill-in “BB”)
• This function can also be
controlled by using a
connected footswitch. (See
page 91.)
• If you press the MAIN A or
B button, the Fill-in will
begin immediately, and the
newly selected section (A or
B) will actually begin
playing from the top of the
next measure, unless the
MAIN A or B button is
pressed during the last beat
of the measure — in which
case the Fill-in will begin
from the first beat of the
next measure.
• Rhythm sounds and Fill-in
sections are not available
when one of the Pianist
styles (#91 - #100) are
selected.
