Fill In Patterns
Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic breaks to spice up a repeating
rhythm pattern.
To use the Fill In patterns:
1.
Select and play a rhythm pattern.
2.
As you play the Electone along with the rhythm
pattern, occasionally press the FILL IN button.
For best results, press the FILL IN button just at the beginning or the first
beat of a measure.

USING A FILL IN FOR THE
START OF A SONG:
Fill In patterns can also be used as
introductions; simply press the FILL
IN button before starting the rhythm
with the START or SYNCHRO START
buttons.
PLAYING PARTIAL FILL IN
PATTERNS:
You can also start Fill In patterns
within a bar, in order to play only the
final one or two beats of the Fill In
pattern and create additional
rhythmic interest. Since the Fill In
feature is very sensitive to bar/beat
boundaries, you should be very
careful to "play" the FILL IN button
precisely on (or just slightly before)
the beat that you want the Fill In
pattern to begin.
The left footswitch can also
be used to apply the Fill In
or Ending. (See page 52.)
