I'm sure that future arranger keyboards will incorporate extra fills per style to help avoid redundancy. It sounds like some manufacturers have already provided a means to do custom fills within a style. Recording a fill straight into a pad is one solution. I know most arrangers including my WK8 are covered with so many buttons to push that adding extra buttons for fills might not seem marketable. I for one would gladly accept the extra buttons to get something like intro, fill to previous, fill >< 1, fill >< 2, fill >< 3, fill >< 4, fill to next, break, ending. You could even employ multiple intros, breaks and endings. I think what they do now, at least on my WK8, is to try and program the intros and endings to match the variation. That's not a bad scheme, I guess the main thing I would like to see is the ability to have more fills within a variation. This would probably require a completely new set of styles, as these fills would have to incorporated into the styles.

Hello VIC, Sorry for the long delay, but I would like to share a way to use more FILLS per Variation. It is a trick back from the WS and WX days, and still works  Normally you would have for 4 variations, 4 fills. Now, in one fill; you can choose to program a MAJ, MIN and 7TH. Now, by programming the MAJ as var1, and the MIN in MAJ, and also the 7TH as MAJ you would have 4 variations, each with 3 FILLs.... 12 Fills  Now, I know it is a workaround, but it works! Good Luck greetings from Holland, Joost Merema http://bounce.to/gemwk4

You only need to hit the approprite chord type slighty before or even once the fill has started, (or anytime during the fill for that matter). The actual content of the fill is not necessarily minor, 7th or anything else; it's whatever you choose to program in there.
The original intention, since the names of these fill riff are MINOR, 7th or whatever, was for you to program a fill which features appropriate notes for minor or 7th tonality. However, since we're using this feature for a different purpose you can program whatever you like into these riffs and that's what you'll hear when you hit the fill.
Basically each fill riff is an empty eight track sequence. you can program whatever you want in there.
If the minor and 7th fill riffs are empty, (as is the case with most factory styles), then, if you hit the fill button while playing a minor or 7th chord, the machine will simply take the one fill riff which does exist, (usually the major), and temporarily modify it's content to make it sound minor, (by flattening thirds), or 7th, (by adding flattened 7ths). However, if the minor or 7th fill riff does contain something then you will hear this exactly as programmed.
Hope this helps Chris
P.S. For many factory styles, you may actually find that the MAJOR FILL riff is empty and the one and only fill for each variation resides in either the MINOR or 7th FILL riff location. Some of our programmers found that this facilited better conversion depending on the content of the fill.
