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.

Fill In patterns can also be used as

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.
