Using a Style
37
Fill-In and Variation
Each Style is made of four Variation patterns and four Fill-in patterns.
Fill-ins are short patterns that temporarily embellish the Style. Fill-ins can add excitement
and rhythmic change to the Style and be used as a musical lead in between the
Variations. To use a Fill-in, just press one of the FILL IN buttons. You will hear the fill-in
begin playing immediately from a musically appropriate spot.
Fill-ins can also be used as a short intro. First press the SYNC/FADE OUT button then
press one of the FILL-IN buttons to select a desired Fill-in. Press any key on the keyboard
to start the style. After the Fill-in plays, the selected Variation will play.
To select a Variation, press one of the four VARIATION buttons to select the desired
Variation. The Selected VARIATION button LED will light.
• You can set the CP to automatically play a Fill-in anytime you press a VARIATION button as you
switch from one Variation to another. Select your preferred option in the Fill-in mode. (See page 140)
Auto Accompaniment System
The Auto-accompaniment System (ACC) is a powerful feature that determines how the Styles will
interact with you as you play. The ACC System analyzes your playing and adjusts the notes the
Style plays to follow the Chords that you play on the keyboard. The ACC System is capable of
recognizing single finger as well as more complex chord voicings. The CP recognises 61 chord
types as well as most of their inversions. (See page 220 for a chord table.) There are three modes of
key recognition—One Finger, Fingered, and Full Keyboard. Your choice of which mode to use
depends on your skill level and the selected musical style.
Fingered The player must play at least three notes of a chord below the split point (LEFT/
SPLIT Part) before the ACC System will recognise the chord type. (See page 220
for chord table.)
One Finger Uses a simplified chord method that allows beginners to specify a chord type
by playing only one or two notes below the split point. The types of chords that
can be recognised in this manner are limited to Major, Minor, 7th and Major
7th. While the player can trigger basic chords with as little as one finger, the
ACC System will recognize more complex chord types if you play them, even
you are in the One Finger mode.
