Playing with a Rhythm Backing
EN-26
A “fill-in” is a short phrase played where you want to change 
the mood of a piece. A fill-in pattern can be used to create a 
link between two melodies or as an accent.
1.
While a rhythm is playing, press the PTRN 
button and then select a pattern.
2.
Press the FILL-IN button.
With some patterns, the fill-in continues until the end of 
the measure where it is inserted. FILL is displayed while 
a fill-in is playing.
• To continue the fill-in into the next measure, keep the 
FILL-IN button depressed.
• Pressing the FILL-IN button while a rhythm is stopped 
will insert the fill-in and cause it to be played as soon 
as rhythm play is started. In this case, pressing the 
FILL-IN button again before starting rhythm play will 
remove the fill-in.
Playing a chord with your left hand automatically adds bass 
and harmony accompaniment parts to the currently selected 
rhythm. It is just like having your own personal back up group 
on call.
1.
In the Rhythm Mode, press the ACMP button.
This causes “AC” to appear on the display and enables 
chord fingering with the accompaniment (left-side) 
keyboard.
2.
Press a to start the rhythm.
3.
Play something on the accompaniment 
keyboard.
This will sound the bass, harmony, and other non-rhythm 
part instruments.
• Playing a chord while rhythm play is stopped will cause 
rhythm and accompaniment to start at the same time.
4.
Play other chords with your left hand as you 
play the melody with your right hand.

Press the ACMP button again to stop the 
accompaniment.
