
This way, you now have 2 musical VARIATIONS to use and 1 percussive/drum
VARIATION. This is very useful especially for LATIN styles and beats that tend to have
a lot of percussive parts. There comes a time when muting some of this at the touch of a
button creates room for musicians to fully express themselves without competing with the
SD9 PRO! Of course there are those who would prefer the keyboard played all the parts
while they lay down a solid lead-instrument line.

AUTO FILL:- If you turn on the AUTO FILL (yellow), then as you play the style and
switch form Arranger to Arranger (Variation to Variation), the style automatically plays a
Fill in between changes so that it sounds flawless and more professional. The other way
to achieve this same result would be to press a FILL in and then while the fill in is still
playing, press the next Arranger (variation). With AUTO FILL on, this saves you one
extra button to push – which means you can focus more on playing and less on navigating
the SD9 PRO

FILL TO ARRANGE:- As the name implies, as you play a style, if you press the FILL
IN/BREAK button, the Arranger/Variation automatically jumps to the next one once the
fill is over. Once it gets to Arranger D, it cycles back to Arranger A.

Aftertouch Fill:- The fill In is automatically activated if you press down hard on the
keys. This is the best as your fingers never have to leave the keybed. With this turned on
(yellow), simply play and press hard when you want to activate the fill in!

Audio Drum/Drum:- Touch this to change the drum kit being used or select an Audio
Live Drum to be used with the style. Touch the relevant following boxes and turn the
data wheel to change the Volume and Reverb amount of the Drums.
