Descrip-
tion
After the
intro is
played, the
Style pro-
ceeds to
Verse A.
After Fill-In
A is played,
the Style
proceeds to
Verse A.
This is the
main per-
formance
Pattern.
After Fill-In
B is played,
the Style
proceeds to
Verse B. This is a
comple-
mentary
Pattern to
Verse A. After Fill-In
C is played,
the Style
proceeds to
Verse C. This is the
most elab-
orate of
the Pat-
terns A–C.
The ending
is played,
and then
the perfor-
mance
stops.
When you press a pattern pad
other than [INTRO/START],
the performance begins from
that pattern.
What is a Fill-In? —These are
lively performance Patterns
inserted in spaces between
phrases and other points in
songs and Styles. Fill-ins of up
to one whole measure in
length are played according to
when you press the [FILL].
To stop the Style without
having the ending played,
press STOP [ ].
