2) To use the Fill In patterns:
Fill In patterns are designed to be used as temporary and regular rhythmic
breaks to spice up a repeating rhythm. Like the regular rhythms, all Fill In
patterns have been designed to perfectly match the bass and chord parts of the
Automatic Accompaniment feature.

NOTE:
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.
