Performing Along with Rhythm (Session Partner)
Adding Variation to the Rhythm
Each rhythm provides two accompaniment patterns; the original accompaniment pattern and a more colorful variation accompaniment pattern.
A ll-in (a short phrase) will be inserted when the accompaniment pattern changes, making your song more expressive. For example, it’s eective to
use the quieter original pattern during the rst half of the song, and then switch to the variation pattern later in the song as the energy level builds up.
1. Press the SESSION PARTNER [VARIATION] button to switch the accompaniment pattern.
