Song Style, this key will be used to start the Style: the Song Style will be
recorded by the Sequencer area with the PLAY/STOP button. While the Style

These keys add Fill patterns to a Style. FILL A adds the pattern and recalls
the Variation preceding the current one. FILL adds the pattern and does
not change the current Variation. FILL B adds the pattern and recalls the
Variation following the current one. Fills are normally one or two measures
long. If you press and hold down the Fill key you will listen to the entire Fill
pattern playing continuously. You can preset a Fill pattern before starting a
Style. In this case Fill will be used as an INTRO.
Tap a beat on this pad when the accompaniment is off. You will set the

will show the new setting. To mark the tempo, you should tap on the pad
as many times as the Time Signature number is: that is, tap 4 times to mark
4/4 or three times to mark 3/4. A sound of drumsticks will click to mark the
