Possible to fill without switching to Main B (or A)

I just got a Yamaha PSR-E473. I think it is a really nice music keyboard  :) 

I have a little problem though:

When pressing auto fill when playing a style the keyboard switches from Main A to Main B (or vise versa)
Is it possible that it will stay on Main A while pressing the auto fill button. I just like to fill with a short drum sound.

It can maybe be done with a dedicated button using quick sampling - but is there another way around it?

Kind regards

On my keyboard, you just press the Main A button while it's playing, and you'll get a fill, regardless of whether auto-fill is on or not.

The problem is that the PSR-E400 series keyboards do not have separate "Main A" and "Main B" buttons.  There is only one "Main/ Auto Fill" button, and it just automatically toggles between style variations A and B each time you press it, and it automatically does a drum fill as it switches variations.  So, there is no way (at least that I'm aware of) to just do a drum fill without switching the style variation by just a single press of a button.

I've had the PSR-E433 for over 11 years, and it's a great keyboard, but updating this feature is something I've suggested here for years, hoping that maybe Yamaha will see the suggestion.  Yet here we are, 4 generations past my E433, and the style controls are still the same.

I get around this by just "double clicking" the "Main/ Auto Fill" button whenever I want to do a drum fill without changing the style variation.
