Bill, I too am surprised that not many people are concerned about this mismatch. I smelled this problem when I read PA80 specs about a year ago and even wrote to Korg as a suggestion to increase the number of fill-ins to 4. Four variations and 2 fill-ins don't match even by math. The customer support wrote back to me saying that they forwarded the suggestion to their engineering team. But that was basically it! Maybe most people use sequences, but it should be an important issue for people who mostly depend on styles. I play at friends' parties very often and I get to play what they request without having a chance to see how the fill-ins even sound like. In such cases I expect my expensive keyboard to help me. PA80 fill-ins will do the opposite for sure. Sometimes I wonder how one not see this problem at design. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Korg will come up with a solution for this and also for the voice truncation at patch changes. Both these are enemies of live playing as I see it.
