Sounding Arpeggios Automatically (Tutorial)

You can edit the Digital Piano’s built-in arpeggios to
create original arpeggios of your own. You can also
record your own original musical phrases for playback
in place of arpeggios. After editing an arpeggio, you
can give it a name and save it as a user arpeggio.

The term “key play” means starting playback of a
phrase by pressing a keyboard key. With key play,
pressing a keyboard key that is the one specified as
the phrase’s “ORG NOTE” setting will play back the
phrase as it was originally recorded. Pressing a
keyboard key that is not the one specified as the
phrase’s “ORG NOTE” setting will shift the pitch of
the phrase in accordance with the key that is
pressed.
