Q uick Guid e Creating Arpeggios Quick Guide 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 arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggiotype 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. 1 Press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeggio function on. GrandPno 001 001 The ARPEGGIO icon appears when the arpeggio function is 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.
