You can select either the original or the variation of a style to best match the mood or
feel of the song. As an example, you could use the original for the quiet, first half of
a song, then switch to the variation (during play) for the livelier second half.
Insert a Fill-in
When playing a song, there may come a point at which you want to switch to the
variation pattern. However, just switching to the variation could sound rather
abrupt. This is where the “fill-in” comes in. A fill-in is a short rhythmic ‘break’ played
before the variation pattern is introduced. With the EM-305/303, you can add fill-ins
during either original or variation accompaniment.

this function when switching from the original to the variation, or the other way
around.
