Chapter 2 Using Rhythm Performance
Adding Variety to the Rhythm or
Automatic Accompaniment
You can add variety to the rhythm or automatic accompaniment by
changing the rhythm pattern of the rhythm or the arrangement of the
automatic accompaniment, or by inserting a break (i.e., stopping the rhythm
for one measure).

What's a fill-in?
A Fill In is a short phrase that is inserted at a break in the melody or at a
point where the character of the song changes (between Chorus's or Verses).
Changing the Arrangement of the
Accompaniment (Style Orchestrator)
You can change the arrangement of the accompaniment while the rhythm is
playing or stopped. This function is called "Style Orchestrator." For each
rhythm, there are four types of arrangement for the accompaniment.
The following buttons are called Style Orchestrator buttons.
