66| Playing the Styles
Choosing a Variation to play a Verse or Chorus
Variations can be used for verses, choruses, bridges or specials. To choose
the right Variation for your verse, please note that Variations are of growing
‘density’ and ‘loudness’. This means that Variation 1 will be the ‘sparsest’
and the ‘quietest’ of the arrangements, while Variation 4 will be the ‘dens-
est’ and ‘loudest’ of them. Usually, you will use Variation 1 for the first verse,
Variation 4 for the last chorus.
Style Element Suggested use
Variation 1 Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special (lowest density)
Variation 2 Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special (medium-low density)
Variation 3 Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special (medium-high density)
Variation 4 Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special (highest density)
▪ While the Intro is playing, press one of the VARIATION buttons to choose the
Variation you want to use for the first verse. The button’s indicator will be
flashing, meaning the Variation is waiting to start.
When the Intro ends, the Variation will start playing. The button’s indicator
will stay lit.
While the Accompaniment is going, you can see the Variation’s length in the
display (‘L’ parameter).
Automatically choosing a Fill
If you like, you can let HAVIAN 30 automatically choose a Fill when you
choose a Variation.
Style Element Suggested use
Fill 1 Fill (lowest density)
Fill 2 Fill (medium-low density)
Fill 3 Fill (medium-high density)
Fill 4 Fill (highest density)
While the Accompaniment will be playing, you will see how many measures
will remain before the end of the Fill (‘L’ parameter).
Turn the Autofill function on
▪ Press the AUTOFILL button to light up its indicator.
