Automatic Accompaniment
Modifying an Accompaniment
When you use Automatic Accompaniment, you can easily add Fill Ins to the
accompaniment patterns, change arrangements, and make other changes.
■ Changing the Accompaniment Pattern (Fill In
Buttons)
There are two accompaniment patterns: the Original, and a Variation. In addition, a
fill-in (or short phrase) is added at the points where the accompaniment patterns
change, which adds more interest to the song. It can be effective to use the simpler
original pattern for the first half of the song, and the variation pattern for the second
half.

Press the Fill In [To Variation] button and watch the indicator flash.
The instrument is set so that the variation performance pattern is played.
Press the Fill In [To Original] button and watch the indicator flash.
The instrument is set so that the original performance pattern is played.
Pressing these buttons during a performance inserts a one-bar fill-in at the
appropriate place and time.
Adding a Fill-in without Changing the Accompaniment Pattern
You can play only the fill-in, without changing the accompaniment pattern.
Press the lit [To Original] or [To Variation] Fill In button during the performance.
You can add variation to the
Automatic Accompaniment by
assigning different functions to
the Performance Pads and
pedals. For more information,
see “Assigning Functions to
Pedals and Performance Pads
(Pedal Setting/User
Functions)” (p. 126).
What’s a “Fill In”?
A short improvisational phrase inserted at the bar line is called a “Fill In.”
The KR105 automatically plays the appropriate phrase for the selected Music Style.
