Creating Arpeggios

The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by

simply playing the required notes on the keyboard. For example, you

could play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and ﬁfth—and the arpeg-

gio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggio-

type phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you play it

is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be

used for music production as well as performance.

Press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeg-

gio function on.

● Voices and the Arpeggio Function

This instrument lets you select a variety of “voices” that you can play

via the keyboard. When you select a voice number between 129 and 143

the arpeggio function will automatically be engaged so you can start

playing arpeggios immediately. The arpeggio function will automati-

cally be turned off when you select any other voice.

If you want to use voices 129–143 for normal performance without the

arpeggio function, press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the

arpeggio function off after selecting the voice.
