VAR 1, VAR 2, VAR 3, VAR 4

These buttons control 4 different Variations of the same Style.
Before starting the accompaniment, you can decide choose the starting Variation for the
current Style. During Style play, you can switch from one variation to another by pressing
the desired button.
Each Variation also has an associated INTRO, FILL and ENDING.
Every time you change Variation, the corresponding display indicator turns on then turns off
when the variation enters its full cycle.
The same occurs if the Variation change is effected with the Fills.

FILL A, FILL, FILL B

These buttons trigger a Fill In, or break of the current variation.
FILL A plays the fill then breaks into the previous variation.
FILL plays the fill then continues with the current variation.
FILL B plays the fill then breaks into the next variation.
The Fills are normally one or two measures long. If you hold down a Fill button, the relative
patterns repeats continually until you release the button.
You can also preset a Fill before Style start in order to use it as an Introduction.
When you use either FILL A or FILL B, the corresponding display indicators also activate.

As an audio indication, the time is tapped out with the sound of drumsticks.
