Hi,

I do not know how that functions at Yamaha but on the PA80 there is a usefull feature (at least for me): you can assign the starting of a fill-in to the velocity on the keys. So if I want a fill, I just play a chord a little harder and the fill goes.

Moreover each fill can lead on any variation. And each type of
sequence can be different in each performance. Thus all depends on the
programming of the performance.

Generally I use the fills between the musical parts (higher variation) and the singing parts and when I change song.

Multi pads : NO, for me they can remove this function

I use them generally on the first beat of the last measure.

I prefer good drum fills than musical ones
